Nowadays, the people who take it way to seriously is much more common, due to the injection of social justice, easier access to creators, and general fan entitlement (see: the often used example of Korrasami going canon). People feel owed now, they feel like they can do everything better than canon, they feel they deserve things from the creators.
There was more of a barrier in the past, so the spergs at least sperged miles away from the creators, in general.
