This is rather a trite observation, but: in any sort of fandom (including scifi, fanfic, etc) you have lots of conflicts, and people often cast it in terms of "We are just expressing our love for X, while these haters putting us down are motivated by elitism/anti-intellectualism/peversion/narrow-mindedness etc" But most of the time, while those things may be in play, a lot of it is just that people are expressing their love in different ways.
I think one of the main ones which comes up in many different guises is "I love canon as is" versus "I express my love for canon by looking at it from different angeles/picking it apart/recreating it etc".
( meandering thoughts )
