Thank you so much for adding your thoughts! This is so well stated, and it's a relief that I'm not the only person who's troubled by this mess.
But you're right, the most frustrating thing is the fandom. I happily commit war crimes in the Zelda games, and I have a great time doing it. I definitely think you can critique a story while still enjoying it, but fandom culture has gotten weird.
