"I don't understand the issue with liking Wicked, RENT, or Idina"
There isn't an issue with people who like Wicked, RENT, or India. But they seem to attract the more "aggressive" and "slightly scary" fans so now there's a stereotype. And stereotypes lead to jokes. It's the people who fall into the stereotype that the "issue" is with.
Say you're an Idina fan and every post you write is about how perfect she is or whatever. That's the type of behavior that's being picked on.
Everyone has their show or performer that they love but the most posters don't want to read about it in every post a particular user writes.
Personally, I've written reviews of shows but have declined from reviewing a particular performer(s) just because I'm most likely wearing rose colored glasses where he/she is concerned. I'll praise them because I'm biased. So when posting here I leave that out. And I know that about myself. Many of the Wicked, RENT, and Idina fans don't have that self-realization. So many posters like to point it out for them.
I hope that explains it succinctly enough for you.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
