I haven't run into this, much. At least, not under the name you're giving it. I know some kids shows try to promote slavish adherence to a ham-fisted moral code, but ... I've yet to see even most young fans get particularly into that.

OTOH, I have seen something similar in fandom with, for instance, Death Note. I don't know what it is about that canon, but a lot of people seem to react by trying to see the world through genius!detective eyes. That's not a good description for it, but I don't have a better one. The series has a number of typical shonen-genre biases, but they're accepted more uncritically because L / M / N said it. Or sometimes, because Light agrees with them.

The thing about Death Note, is that because of the antagonist nature of the two main sects, I'm not surprised that fans get caught in the rivalry and feel like they need to Team Something.

Certainly doesn't help that neither sect; let it be Light, Misa etc, or L, Mello and Near; are not at least a bit morally questionable. At least with Light a good proportion of people found him repulsive; I'm still amazed on how the way L prioritise his ego over preventing mass murders gets glorified.
