Maybe it's selection bias, but I'm used to seeing people committed to justice simultaneously squee about and call out -isms in their favorite stories (e.g. awesome feminist Supernatural fans and their meta, their VIDS OMG, their fanfic), as well condemn ick in stuff they didn't enjoy.
I've always thought it was just understood that, if we wait for just stories, we'll be waiting a long time and eventually our hunger for story is going to overcome that, if the story is good enough, or hits our personal buttons.
