I think that's fine, but I'm a little confused. Do people write fanfiction for social justice points or something?

There's certainly a subsect of modern fandom that believe that the reading, writing and existence of fanfic is equivalent to activism. If you write two men together who are both white then YOU ARE RACIST is what these people seem to believe.

Huh, sounds a little bit like doll fandom ("You only have white dolls, so you must be a racist!").

Sounds like the opposite of game fandom "If you play a non-white character, it's digital blackface and you're a racist!"

Some people certainly make it sound like they consider shipping an expression of their wokeness and/or a form of activism.
I don't think it's a bad thing to take a look at your shipping preferences and consider whether or not they reflect some ingrained prejudice you're not aware of, but at the end of the day it's still just making fictional characters kiss for your own enjoyment.
