Whoa...yeah I can definitely agree to this.

Exited out of a fandom because there was one person in the fandom who was shady as hell. Any time I or any of our friends said something about a character or actor or writer, etc Fandomer 1 didn't like, we'd know because she would retweet problematic shit about said character/person.
IE.
I gushed over liking Carmy from The Bear, and suddenly Fandomer 1's Twitter TL is filled with RTs criticizing how Carmy is a toxic boss, shitty boyfriend and cowardly brother/son.
A fandom friend RTs a new Adam Driver project because they're an Adam Driver fan, and suddenly Fandomer 1's TL is filled with RTs about how Adam Driver joined the military "in response to 9/11", insinuating Islamophobia.

And the cherry on top? Fandomer 1 would make excuses for or gloss over the past transgressions of characters or entertainers they liked.

They were almost there, but always reverted back to shaming others without reflecting on their own behavior and feelings.

Which isn't a problem at all in my opinion, unless the said fandomer exerted some sort of social influence or power in the group ie by doing this they hoped others would feel ashamed of what they posted or even shame the person who did the post.
People are entitled to opinions and disagreements, if they hope people don't support Adam Driver because he is an islamophobe or whatever in their opinion it's ok I think. What I don't find ok is the groupthink that goes on in most fandoms where people can't simply disagree about something and it's just Tuesday. No, everyone must agree on everything, therefore now we must shame the person who posted about Adam Driver because he is a Bad Person because he is An Islamophobe (like there aren't so many degrees of inferences and assumptions and personal opinions here but that doesn't matter we must bow down to the groupthink)
