122. There's this thing in Heroes fandom where, if you don't like a female character and you say so, very often you're labeled a misogynist. It doesn't matter if you have story-related reasons for not liking the character in question; someone will always decide that it boils down to either your subconscious, patriarchy-programmed hatred of your own vagina or (if you're a guy) your unwillingness to let women get out of the kitchen. Heck, if you like a female character and you say it's because she kicks ass, you're likely to end up labeled because you obviously aren't paying attention to all the sneaky little ways in which she's being put down by The Man. Something similar happens with liking/disliking characters of color. Basically, if you don't like someone it must be because you hate their entire demographic, and if you do like them it's because you're "fetishizing" their "otherness" so that you don't see how they're really a poorly-researched stereotype.

Personally, I think that kind of thinking is a bunch of bull.

170. I'm 30, and my in-laws are 50-something and still active in many fandoms. So I think "too old for fandom" is a similar bunch of bull. Don't sweat it; you'll find other fandoms as you go along. It's what fans do. :)
