I'm a bit late to the party (also here via thisweekmeta), but I'd like to give your comment a +1. My active days in fandom are pretty much over, but if I were to read as much as I used to in the current fandom climate and encountered, say, a fic with lots of transphobic tropes (that would hit me rather directly in the face, because I'm trans) I know I'd be much less likely to speak up about it, because I'd expect getting labelled just "one of those antis". And I'm not pretending that discussions about racism, sexism, homo- or transphobia present in fandom and/or fic used to be a walk in the park, far from it. But they felt different to me.
