It seems to me that mostly uprising (if any) seems to be relegated to simple things that people understand/agree on. Like everybody agrees that "outing" somebody is horrible and reprehensible, but the reason they feel that way is because people can imagine it happening to themselves and how horrible it would feel to them.
But going "Hey, this is a major breach of fandom etiquette" is a far cry from getting at the roots of issues and standing up against racistic behavior and attitudes.
Nobody will ever run asshole people completely off the internet, but to me it does seem like people don't even try. That there is more incredulous staring as opposed to standing up or even just shunning the people in question.
