there's a good chunk of rabid f/f fangirls on Tumblr who want to pretend their arbitrarily supported lesbian ship is leagues better than the het options, or even m/m pairings that don't involve the characters they ship because m/m is an acceptable target nowadays. From what I've seen, this doesn't account for all shippers of pharah/mercy, but some get really defensive when there's a hint of a different ship. Hence that genji line being questioned for its legitimacy because genji/mercy fans are totally trying to devalue their lesbian ship. If you want other instances of this happening (and yes the het shippers had sanctimonious asshole fellows, no side's perfect), see Kill La Kill and FE:Fates.
