Some fandom history.
Antishippers may have only called themselves that for the past few years, but people like them have always been in fandom.
From Fanlore–
Warriors for Innocence was an online based organization whose stated goal is “hunting pedophiles where they fester”.
From their website, Warriorsforinnocence.org (hosted by Blogger.com) targeted online pedophile/sexual abuse related journals and then informed the hosts of those journals, such as Livejournal, of content which they claim breaches ToS agreements.
They also took steps to inform advertisers of those blog sites of the content of some of the blogs, which they claimed led to said advertisers pulling their advertising from the Livejournal site.
Warriors for Innocence was a group that was reportedly behind the complaints to Six Apart that led to Strikethrough.
A self-admitted former Warriors for Innocence supporter created a Tumblr page to hunt down people who support “homosexuality, pedophilia and incest”.
And here is an excerpt from that Tumblr page
I will introduce myself. I am a former supporter of the “Warriors for Innocence” organization, a group dedicated to bringing down the perversion that resided at LiveJournal as of 2007. While I am not affiliated to this group, I am acting in their name. This resulted in “Strikethrough” and “Boldthrough”, a move that was widely condemned by perverted fanartists and fanfic writers. They dismissed it as infringing on their freedom of expression. But it’s not. Our group tried (and succeeded) to end the liberal idiocy on LJ. Children were viewing these blogs, and were being influenced by immoral behaviours.
Now, I am restoring this group, as it has come to my attention by viewing your blogs that you support the perverted behaviours of homosexuality, incest and pedophilia. I have only selected a few of you perverts because Tumblr is a cesspool of ignorance and sin. Do you people not realize that these behaviours are sinful? We at Warriors for Innocence support morality. Not the disgusting things you come up with.
Why do you people hate God? Why must you continue these behaviours? By writing fanfiction and drawing fan art of these despicable acts, you are condoning it in society. Homosexuality is a sin in the Bible, which is the literal word of God. Therefore, you must stop doing this. And don’t come with the nonsense that God does not exist. The Bible is literal proof of the existence of God. That you don’t realize that shows how much you are morally in the dark:
