Support Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen

We don't know about you, but we felt horrible when we discovered via this article that Robert Pattinson has gotten "bags of mail from angry fans, telling [him] that [he] can't possibly play Edward."
Really.
What have we come to?
Certainly everyone has a right to voice their opinion, but is that really necessary?
The fact of the matter is, there is no human that is perfect for Edward. That's what makes him Edward. And just because some Twilight readers are not 100% pleased with the casting of Edward (which I don't think anyone could ever be -- he's EDWARD -- so this applies to everyone) doesn't make it okay to rip Rob apart. 
We know this is going to sound cliche, but Rob is a human. He has feelings too.
The treatment of Rob is not okay.
The Twilight fandom is not about hostility or pettiness or cruelty. 
The Twilight fandom is about Twilight.
And now, like it or not, Robert Pattinson has become a part of Twilight
And so you have a choice.
