Different anon here! What does one do when discourse affects enjoyment or excitement? Currently struggling with that. Do I need to step away? 
Hey anon! For me, I use the block button liberally. I know it seems excessive and it isn’t everyone’s solution, but my dash and the main tag are both such happier places. When I see discourse, it’s usually second, third, or fourth hand and from people I like and whose opinions I trust. I also block tags as much as possible if I know that things I typically don’t agree with end up in those tags.
Ultimately, stepping away from fandom for a bit may be a good idea if you find that it’s impacting your enjoyment. It can give you a breather and the discourse will usually cycle out by the time you come back.
