If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that the reason for the blowback is that people are feeling judged by the OP for their fandom crushes and fannish behavior even though no such judging has taken place. I'd guess that the anger and defensiveness felt is causing a lot of people to interpret the secret in a far more hostile fashion as a personal attack, even though no such personal attack against FS users has taken place. I'm also guessing that most people are completely missing the point that this is about OP's bad relationship with their MIL, and that fandom is just the manifestation, not the focus.

... Or maybe the aggressively hostile language in this secret rubbed people the wrong way. As long as we're projecting here.

The first line of the secret is "I judge my MIL harshly for her gross real life and fictional crushes".

It doesn't exactly take a genius to deduce that there are probably other issues there, but the actual secret is definitely about the crushes and the fandom, not the other issues
