...because they're able to isolate themselves in their own fannish bubble where they can say whatever they want.

I dunno, though. I remember plenty of message boards and communities that were echo chambers and bubbles. But they were more discrete than they are now, where there’s only a couple humongous fandom platforms that host pretty much everything in one big stew of opinions.

I can think of four or five separate message board/forums for one of my fandoms, not counting the fringe ones that only certain fans with axes to grind hung out on, and big disagreements within a fandom would spawn splinter forums or fansites. Now when groups of fans disagree, where thd fuck do they go so the opposing factions can calm down or at least glower at each other and snark about each other from a bit of a remove? For a lot of fandoms, there’s just twitter and tumblr, and some fandoms are only active on one or the other.

There’s no distance, and no way to get any. Fans and antis (haters/flamers/whatever else we used to call them) can’t really get away from each other.

I'm of the strong opinion that online communities need three things: people, boundaries, and a big fat banhammer.
