You won't get taken to court for uploading copyrighted material to Fandom - the IP owner will just send a DMCA notice to Fandom and they'll take the image down. The owner decides if it's fair use, not the uploader - they can cite it, but don't have final say.

Unchanged images are usually fine. I seem to recall a conversation with staff years ago where they said the majority of DMCA notices come from DeviantArt artists who find their artwork uploaded without credit or permission - understandable.

Big companies tend not to go after fansites using screenshots unless they profit directly. Like, sell T-shirts or monetize YT vids with clips or sound. It's too much work to enforce copyright on every screenshot, meme and avatar. The reverse laws people think Article 13 etc. brings would place the burden on the host - Fandom, not you.
