What you describing doesn’t sound fundamentalist to me.
I was referring more to the sort of people who, for example, see homosexuals having gay pride and start worrying it’s the end times and they must cleanse the world through adherence to their religion or something like that.
Let me re-write the comment I was responding as a fundamentalist would write it.

Only sinners and heathens are able to "enjoy the world as it is, in all its messiness."
Because that's what it takes to ignore abusive levels of homosexuality and systemic threats to the continued survival of the church.
The point is not about what happened in the past, it's about what is still happening now - and how the narratives from the past continue to be used to justify it.
Ignoring this is neither compassionate nor realistic - although it is heretical, pretty much by definition.

I am 100% percent convinced that there are fundamentalist christians or islamists or whatever who would read that re-written comment as go “oh yeah, that makes complete sense”.
