No one's saying that being an Opie & Anthony fan counts as directly condoning every thing Anthony's said though. If you assume that's what people are saying, you'll go off on a tangent without any need, like you have here.
pj has gone out of his way to make a thread complaining about people "wearing death threats like badges" and he made a thread saying he was a fan of O&A. That shows the type of speech he's prone to defend and that he's a fan of this show. It looks like he's defending a host's right to not be fired for racist speech on a syndicated radio show in this thread and that's in line with what he's made threads about before. It's harder to get an idea of someone's beliefs by looking through their individual posts since those could be in any myriad threads that they may not have made, as opposed to looking through "threads by this member" which is more specific. I remembered seeing the "hate speech" thread when it was made though, but not everyone did.
My thread that you linked was purely about fandoms, associating hate for given media with the fans of that media and complaining about the fans themselves simply for liking that media stuff like movies, cartoons, video games, Etc. Here it's different as 1) no one's chastising pj because he's an O&A fan and 2) are instead concerned with his defense of racist, hurtful speech. If anyone's writing off his opinion it's probably because he seemingly actively supports racist speech in some way, not just because he listens to O&A (or just O now). Someone complaining about something negative that a fan actually does not saying anyone's doing that, but still is different from complaining about fans of the Star Wars prequels for liking the Star Wars prequels. Does that distinction make sense?
