“To me, the decent people upset that their fellow fans are being so shameless and gross are almost as bad as the shameless people themselves” is a pretty ugly take, but to be expected, obviously. It’s how you react to similar arguments about politics as well. Being an outspoken person wanting others to do the right thing is just as bad as being an outspoken person wanting others to do the wrong thing for personal gain.
It’s far more acceptable here to call someone a fucking retard faggot and say you’ll physically hurt a trans person than to say hey maybe we should be decent people and not toss our values out the window for basketball, and you personally built that culture.
