It seems to me that the position actually being taken - in the example - is less a defense of the morality of the specific actions, and more a defense of violent action against prejudice and wrong and protracted systems of injustice. Which I think is reasonable - I, frankly, don't have a problem with someone deciding that they're just not going to care about the details of the show and root for what they want to see, and I think in general that the question of violence as a reaction to violent oppression and the role that the past plays in that question, I think that question is a lot more complicated than people make out.

As a reaction to the specific actions in the show, is it justified? Probably not. But even given that, I don't think it's reasonable to describe this reaction as "insane", either - it is, to be honest, much more nuanced than I would expect from Tumblr. Maybe there's somewhere else where people are being crazy; I've only seen the one example.
