I think the real question is: what proportion of those Green Lantern fans are also tabletop gamers?
If, indeed, what the blog post suggested is true, and there is something about tabletop gamers that causes a greater proportion of them to become toxic customers, then it would only be a key issue for industries where tabletop gamers form a significant proportion of the customers. Presumably, even though some tabletop gamers are consumers of superhero-related media, they could be only a small proportion of all consumers of superhero-related media.
Thanks to previous successes, superhero movies have more inherent mainstream appeal. Inherent mainstream appeal can drown out the fanbois. RPGs don't have that.
