Fandom is part of real life. If you want to, you can try to find an area of fandom where people don't talk about themselves or their lives, and where they avoid talking about RL issues which are relevant to their fandom in case it disturbs anyone's illusion of fandom being a separate space from real life (hint: it isn't). Go and start a forum or an LJ community which runs on those rules, if that's what you want.
But unless you do that, and create a strict forum or equivalent run by yourself, you don't get to dictate what people want to talk about. You're being every bit as entitled as the sort of reader who contacts a writer demanding that they write them fanfic to their exact specifications. ("GTFO off my internet if you're going to write Harry/Draco! I demand Draco/Ginny. Go re-write your fanfics and edit Harry out right now!") And it's even worse than that, because you're trying to dampen down relevant and important discussions just because you personally don't want to participate.
One other thing is that although you say you support there being no real-life influence on fandom, you're completely missing seeing the influence that your own real life is having on your experience of fandom. It is obvious just from what you're written here that you have been unable to leave your RL at the door. Nobody can truly leave their RL at the door, and you are no exception.
1) Here you are, talking about your personal life and your personal "non-internet" opinion of sociopolitics. 2) Here you are, talking about your "internet" opinion of sociopolitics. 3) You're expressing the opinion that for the sake of your own comfort and relaxation online, other people should not express their opinions. 4) Because you personally hold the opinion that they're bawwing and whiny, and only want attention. 5) You are a RL person who holds these views and has expressed them in the RL situation of online fandom. 6) If we go by your definition, you're someone who's bawwing, talking about sociopolitcs in an inappropriate place, and trying to get attention too.
