Come on! You know the difference between mentioning your girlfriend - and were you ever really given a hard time for that in fandom space? - and the sort of dogpile nonsense that you see doing the rounds on tumblr. Today on tumblr I learned that taking a language class or learning a craft, dance or martial art from a culture other than one's own is cultural appropriation - that's the sort of nonsense we're up against, not people mentioning their personal life. It might not be political correctness gone mad, but it's certainly identity politics gone mad.

As long as we're talking differences, OP didn't say they avoid specious arguments that call everyone who disagrees with them racist. They said they don't like social justice opinions. There's a difference.

And I have indeed had that sort of trouble in fandom spaces that have a strict "no politics" rule. I think a lot of people underestimate how many really conservative people are in fandom and on the internet in general.

I think you're very right about that. I will also say that at least some of us out here would not be considered 'really conservative' by the population at large, and might even vote consistently Democrat (or the local equivalent) and support many liberal causes, but still aren't as far to the left as much of fandom. We tend to get tarred with the same brush as actual conservatives if we express any dissent.

The SJWs share exactly the same ideologies and tactics as the conservatives. Liberals, they ain't!
