I think there's also a tendency to just expect people to live with it. Like when discussions of Lovecraft's racism, Orson Scott Card's homophobia, or Dave Sim's misogyny come up and people start exerting pressure to shut down discussion and acting like it's not real.
I think I am not really clearly saying what I want, but a lot of people seem to react very badly to the idea that there's anything wrong with being an oppressive douche.
