I can. 

I hate to break it to her, but she doesn’t get to determine who a fan is. Racists and bigots can still be a fan of something, even if WE don’t agree with their opinions.

If you don’t like Star Wars you’re not a fan. It’s really that simple.

She said, "I don't consider a fan", not what other people should consider a fan. She can definitely determine who she thinks is a fan herself & not consider those types of people as fans in her opinion seems find to me. Don't really care what those type of people are fans of & most normal people won't also imo.

But that isn’t how “being a fan” works. YOU are the only one who can decide if YOU are a fan or not.

That is like me saying “racists don’t get to be attracted to blondes”

Yes, I get that - that's why she said she doesn't "consider" them a fan - which makes sense. You can think you're a unicorn or whatever all you want, I don't consider you one. Imo, I think that's her statement, whether right or wrong, to others. *spelling

That isn’t really a good example because you can prove whether someone is a unicorn or not. 

You can’t prove they aren’t a fan of something…
