So a trend I come across in Fandom spaces especially on Twitter is people who think that because they like/dislike something about media it has to be "morally correct" or some shit.

Like if they don't like Batman it has to be for some moral reason like "Batman promotes fascism and if you like it you support it"

Or if they don't like what a creator does in a show then that creator must be a bad person
Like people trying to say Bruce Timm is some awful guy because they don't like how he handled Wonder Woman in Justice League or something.

It's ridiculous. These people weaponize social justice for their own petty grievances/parasocial attachments to media and aside from being cringe it's also skeevy as they try to act like agents of morality/social justice
