I love Finn/Poe, but so much of the fic is bland and not at all to my tastes that I just stopped bothering. I actually really like Poe/Kylo and some of the dirtybadwrong stuff there, but there's also this one author who spams the tag and whose stuff I find generally kind of annoying, so I haven't checked that one in awhile, either.
But yeah, the fandom in general is a bit of a mine field with the shipwar nonsense dialed up to 11. Which isn't that unusual for a large fandom, but I agree that it does seem to be a first fandom for a lot of people, so the wank is taken up a notch above what it usually would be. (Not that people who've been in multiple fandoms can't be wanky, because boy can they ever, but a lot of people seem to mellow a bit the more fandoms they've been through. And if you have a good mix of mellow/non-mellow, it can level things out a bit.)
