the younguns don't know. they haven't lived the hate, they haven't been there for the most part. as you say, you live in a place where there's still daily LGBT hate, so you still experience it, but there are a lot of places where acceptance has been normalized for at least a generation so when hate pops up, it simply shocks the population, like how could anyone think any differently how is this possible. I live in one of those places and the number of people who have literally never seen racist or anti-semitic propaganda flipping their shit when some assface on the local campus slips white supremicist flyers into a dorm...it boggles the mind.

online, fandom has indeed been that safe space for so long that an entire generation of people - not just the young teens entering fandom spaces for the first time but people in their 20s - have never heard of gay bashing. never feared for their lives walking in the white part of town. even the Pusle nightclub disaster didn't open their eyes to violence toward LGBT and other minorities. it's been a good 15 years since Queer As Folk (US) with the club bombing and beatings. the younger fandom does not know how bad it was so they think by mocking slash fans they're not doing anything more serious than writing "lol amirite" on someone's facebook, when in fact they're actually doing something hateful and awful and need a reality check.
