The forums do not ban people like r/bitcoin does. In fact, plenty of ETH-hating Bitcoiners show up on r/ethereum, and even get a few upvotes. For the DAO fork at least there was controversy. There was a little bit of controversy on 1559, but it was mostly from miners or people who had clear misunderstandings about how it worked. It ended up improving the user experience and, according to Coinbase, saving users a little money. Proof of stake has no noticeable pushback except in the mining subreddits, and has been part of the plan since 2014. If it had no support then the beacon chain wouldn't have 9 million ETH deposited. For the DAO fork, people made the same claim, that the visible community actually misrepresented people's real feelings. But in the end, both sides got a chain of their own, and oddly enough, the side that had appeared more popular before the fork ended up having vastly more market value.
