Well, and also, having thought about it a bit, people absolutely try to pull "not like other white people!" I was definitely wrong there. I just don't think it's become common tumblr critique parlance in the same way.

As for your second paragraph, I think there's something to the fact that, in the end, sexism matters, and the regalia being blue basically doesn't. I'm willing to give up my canon purism, but not the fact that sexism exists, right? I think it's all right to have slightly different stances because the contexts are different.
