I feel like I'm missing a key part of something, too. I also feel like this discussion is just the latest reboot of the classic, "my fandoms/preferences are OK, your fandoms/preferences suck" that’s been popping up periodically in fandom for decades, as each new wave of fans figures out their needs aren't being met. It sucks, but it happens to all of us.
It’s a fact of life that not everyone likes exactly the same things, and I just wish people would stop judging and shaming other fans for their preferences, and learn to accept that there are always going to be differences among us.
And personally, I don't appreciate being told what I like is a "problem" and I should be "examining [my] own reasons for enjoying it," as stated in that linked post.* I'm not some zombie who only likes m/m because I've been brainwashed by the patriarchy. JFC.
ETA: *Sorry, it was in a linked post in your linked post.
