I have a pet theory that it started with Twilight. Twilight wasn't just bad because you didn't like it or because it was a YA supenatural romance and you weren't a teen girl. No, it was bad because it was *harmful*. It was bad because it promoted *abuse*. It was bad because these poor innocent female babies were having their heads filled with evil, warping, *problematic* fiction. Seriously, it all sounds like Anti-Vomit now.

And fans, under attack with this rhetoric or joining in against a lower ranking fandom, noticed that it "worked" and adopted it.

That's a very good point! I also have a hypothesis of my own: teen fans that promote this pseudo-puritanism are unconsciously parroting what they have heard from far-right groups made of mostly older people, even though said teens would vehemently deny this.

Was there a particular outcry against Twilight from these sorts of groups when it first got popular?

I don't think this is really true, all of those arguments long predate Twilight and Twilight wasn't really a watermark thing in fandom to my recollection.

They did, but '''''fandom'''' didn't give a shit about Tipper Gore or the Comics Code authority or parental advisory stickers on CDs.
