First the loli thing which is the most obvious one , i also read someone mention how there are also twitter people bullying others over so called "promoting toxic relationships" cause they wrote fanfics shipping the main character with the villain . How are things getting so bad that fiction is so treated like reality now?

I think the issue, then, is the fact that so many people growing up have parents ranging everywhere from dismissive to overly permissive to nonexistent. They aren't actually doing the job of helping their kids separate fact from fantasy, and so those kids end up growing into adults with these weird ideas of how the world works.
Hell, one example is that you can see it with what younger women are saying about the younger men they're sleeping with; the only experience those men with sex is porn and so they end up trying to do things that they see in pornography because they didn't have anyone to tell them how fake, overproduced, and shot it all is. Just illustrative of one of the more visible ways we're seeing this play out,
Hell, I for one got absolutely 0 sex-ed type things from my own dismissive, disinterested parent. I'm just thankful I started with wikipedia before porn otherwise the latter would've been my sole source for "information." And this is just one area in which parents aren't doing their job insofar as helping their kids know fiction and reality are different.
