It's in response to a number of fandom trends that have been accumulating in my mind for a while, and starting to look like different facets of the same unsavory thing. I mentioned bronies because reading that thread was sort of a tipping point. It crystallized *why* saying "if you don't want to be painted with the same brush, go on a social justice crusade against the thing your whole fandom is being accused of" felt manipulative and fail-y to me. But it's not about them. It's about people who don't consider themselves SJWs still feeling, to a lesser degree, like they have a right and an obligation to punish outliers, and frown on any fandom that doesn't.
