Look at our fandom back even a decade ago, then look at it today. We are much bigger and widespread than we used to be. We have people from every walk of life saying, "Hey, this looks cool." And sometimes, their walk of life may be less than pleasant.
As for why it seems like it is more in here, there are actually a few reasons:
-We notice it. This is our fandom, so we take more notice to events happening in it, than we do in other fandoms.
-We're more open. Sure, there are people who brush stuff under the carpet, but look at this. We have a story here on our 'main' news site. I've talked to people who have said that in some groups, the thought of even putting something like this out there can get you shunned.
I do believe that there is reason behind this.
