Why has modern fandom developed a sort-of purity culture? (lemmygrad.ml)

By "purity culture", I mean this recent idea that if you like [insert character that is villainous or has [insert bad belief] here] that you are secretly a horrible person, agree with their actions, or have the same beliefs as them.

Fandoms are religions and liking a villain is akin to worshipping the devil.

I'm only kinda joking. I do think that some people aren't fans so much as disciples.
