Well, nobody should be able to dictate who is or isn't a fan. I think fans sometimes get a bit too passionate about the things they follow and at times it can turn into oneupmanship and talking down to people they see as being less of a fan. There's a certain level of ownership that fans seem to have. However, it does seem to be a very certain, select area of fandom who are saying that he is too old/ugly for the job. If it was restricted to youngsters, as suggested above, it would be more understandable, but I have seen women of all ages making these comments now. And I say women rather than people because the truth is that these comments are primarily coming from females and not guys (though on the flipside, it seems to be mostly guys who feel they have the 'ownership' that I mentioned above).
