I have no doubt it was like that before, but I managed to worm my way into the slash side of fandom early in my fandom career (90s). The part where you had to know someone to get in. So I was pretty protected from "only canon couples" because none of our OTP would be canon; so many places forced any kind of slash to be R/NC-17 just by existing that very few people gave a damn what actually went on in the fic; and the fic was behind so many walls that no one really wanted to risk their access to the community by being dicks about other people's works.

There was still drama, but because of the small and insular nature of the communities we all knew the source of the drama was personal conflict. People couldn't really get away with moralizing, which is honestly the bane of fandom right now.

I miss the days when it was understood to be a freak community for a community of freaks.
