People used to accuse others of wanting to fuck their siblings if they shipped incest, were abusers or rape apologists for shipping something very fucked up, etc. Social media as it is amplifies those voices sure, but the idea that it was never like this is very weird to me as an m/m and f/f shipper of old who used to be told I was going to hell for 'sinning' with my gay ships in the early 2000's. And that isn't getting into if they found I out I was actually gay, hooo boy got banned from a het-ship comm because of that. But it was a pure, non-toxic time in fandom, for sure. :)))))

Yeah, I had similar experiences. I'm queer and I wrote (and still write) a lot of gen and boy howdy there was a lot of "purity" shit going on in gen parts of pretty much all fandoms. And the whole "it's fine to include background het ships in gen fic because that's normal, but not background gay ships, ew." I was really thrilled when the homophobic part of it seemed to be dying out in mainstream fandom (there were still pockets of it in particular fandoms, like cop shows and Stargate and dude fandom, but easy to avoid). But no, now it's purity for *all* ships, and ship wars get turned into moral quests and social media means it bleeds all over the place.
