Yeah, I have a lot of issues with New Who beyond this casting. So much of it is almost like an entirely different show than the classic series, and not always in good ways, IMO.
The X-Files was my first major online fandom. I remember the moderator of a popular forum publicly expressing her relief that Robert Patrick didn't get an Emmy nomination, because she hadn't wanted to deal with the fan backlash if he had. And the intimidation tactics of flamers who opposed the posting of any Doggett fic, particularly Doggett/Scully material. I was a Mulder/Scully fan at heart, but I wrote my Doggett/Scully story mostly because the flamers pissed me off so much.
