I am 100% in agreement, of course. Something's gone wrong with fandom's mentality; a militant wing has taken control of the discourse and distorted it into something that is causing long-term damage to our survivability. I would venture to call this militant wing a hate group, but, even in that, I feel compelled to at least partially censor myself, which I suppose speaks to the depth of the problem.
On the up side (if there is one), this infection hasn't penetrated anime / manga and video game fandom quite as deeply as it has the traditional Western fandoms, presumably because Japanese creators could honestly not give a flying fuck what these people think.
