Ack! No! I have no sources! Or quirky icons! You have defeated me with your superior rhetoric!!!
Anyway, having woken up a slight bit more, this dynamic interests me as I do find myself running up against it, on both sides (as in a recent discussion that I'm sure you're responding to). My time in fandom has started to train me out of responding to generalized phenomenon without having examples of it handy, but it's also taught me that what people take away from discussions isn't always what actually happened. So I end up being the one asking for examples a good bit. Even still, fandom is large and has been around for a while. It's quite likely that almost every opinion under the sun has been stated somewhere.
