What you say about taking away the middle ground, yes! Absolutely! As if there's no room for shared enjoyment and no one who falls in both camps or likes to hop back and forth between them.
I guess Porn Battles (this is the first one I've participated in as a writer as well as a casual peruser) are a big enough deal or attract people from enough divergent branches of fandom that it's hard to get users all playing by the same rules or etiquette, and as drama goes it could get a lot worse, but it would be nice if "live and let porn" and "if you can't say anything nice, keep scrolling" were more widely adhered to.
