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.

That's bizarre because I've never seen or experienced this myself. Maybe it depends on the platform in use?

Probably. It's a Tumblr and Twitter phenomenon with some of it leaking to YouTube. But where it is it's absolutely fierce.
