Yeah, it really sucks how toxic fandom became. Nowadays its TOO normal to see harassment for people having even the wrong headcanons. Ship wars used to be ultimately a light hearted joke but now its tied to your morality.

fossa was a disaster in so many ways. it made it harder to STOP human trafficking because it all went underground. https://newrepublic.com/article/162823/sex-trafficking-sex-work-sesta-fosta

In general I avoid fandoms for the most part anymore because of how toxic they became.

Occasionally I'll dip my toes in a fandom but it usually like the community meme of walking in the door and everything is on fire.

The Owl House fandom is still pretty great though. But that's a pretty openly queer fandom, so it's the exception. Man I loved it's representation of our community.
