I'm an old myself, and one thing I've noticed in recent fandom is that the natural tendency teenagers have always had to think adults are kind of cringe and boring has become really dramatically escalated to that paranoia you talk about. The rise in prevalence of adults being called "pedophiles" and "groomers" just for co-existing in a fandom space is really stark and dramatic from just a few years ago.

And it isn't always in fandoms for kid-friendly media: when HANNIBAL of all things was in reruns on Netflix a couple years ago, there was an influx of teens in the fandom who were really really upset that there were adults in this fandom about a middle-aged cannibal serial killer.

COVID is likely a big instigator of this too. We (under-18s) became so much more reliant on the Internet for connections with friends, which of course led to us being more subjected to dumb internet discourse.
