Twilight- I don't understand...?

Well it all really depends. Some people are really tired of the popularity it's received and kinda just snap at people when it's brought up. Some people have some sort of grudge against the books and want everyone to know it. Some people are just doing it to cause havoc. I think most of them are just annoyed and want to put their two cents in to stop it. Same reason why people have to express their love for a fictional story and express that they are going to marry the character. It's just a clash in personality and makes them feel better when they can stop one person from ranting and raving about the books.

To express the frustration of having to sift through all the Twilight crap in the B&A section (which has lately had a LOT of question regarding the Twilight movie and not the book) just to find questions that are actually asking something new and about books that are worth while. Some of the questions are just ridiculous. The ones like "omg which team are liek you guyz on?" and "edward's so hawt amirite?" are just rude and irritating.

Antis are just expressing their opinions on a badly written book series. Get over it.

For the record, yes I have read it, a couple of times actually. If I'm going to hate on something I don't want to be an ignorant hypocrite who doesn't know what they're talking about. And I "gave it a chance". I was reading it 3 years ago, before all the hype. And I'm female too, so don't go saying i'm intimidated by Edward Cullen or some bs like I got accused of last week.

Ok right so at the moment there are more haters then lovers. You came here a month ago and you would be inundated with questions of "EDWARD OR JACOB?!!" and "Do u reali think i culd marry edward cullen?" Do you have any idea how irritating that is. The only reason us haters exist is to combat the crazies. For every hater there is 3 crazies, the crazies are however less articulate and generally give one sentence answers and are therefore brushed off.

If you look at the series from a literary standpoint you realise just how poorly written it is. I cannot believe that such an appallingly written book is so popular. I initially liked the series and it was from looking at the critical analysis of others HERE that i realized just how bad it was. I'm hoping to enlighten others :)

Also I think they're a terrible example for younger kids, particularly girls. Bella is supposed to be a role model. She's shallow, one dimensional and her life revolves entirely around her boyfriend. When he leaves she falls apart and only pulls herself together when she finds another guy to take his place. She has no goals and her aim in life is to be with Edward forever. Not exactly the best role model huh?

And Edward. This guy is supposed to be the 'perfect guy'. I grew up learning to love a person for who they are, not what they look like. Edward and Bella's relationship is based solely on looks. All they do is describe how beautiful the other is. This is how girls are growing up to see how relationships are supposed to be. No. I think that's terrible.

I care because I think it's a bad influence. I think these kids are so obsessed with Twilight they'll do anything. I tried recommending some other (classic) books once to a Twilight fan and she went batshit on me. I just think the characters are not good role models for impressionable kids

Some people are ignorant. And I DO love Twilight. I've found that A LOT of the people who like Twilight in this section, don't have very good grammar or spelling. And it gives everybody else a bad rep. My mind is set. They can tell me why I shouldn't like the book, but I'm still going to like it. For everything that's created in the world, someone or something is going to have strong dislike or hatred toward it.

It really would be nice if people would actually read the books before making comment. It's similar to Harry Potter in that I've never actually spoken to anyone who has actually read the books that would say anything bad about them. Most people love them.

If you have just seen the low budget twilight movie without reading the books and think you know what you are talking about I feel sorry for you, just as I feel sorry for anyone who watched the HP movies and hasn't read the books.

Its not the fact that she repeats herself a lot in the book or the fact that she put herself in the book. It's the fact that people over asks questions about a craze. So much that other peoples question get ignored.

wow i cant believe you just compared twilight to the jonas brothers and hannah montana. ew. well the people that say they dont like it because 'ooh its vampires, thats so lame' well they havent read it so are they even allowed to have an opinion? and yes i agree if you are here to get help on a report there is no reason for someone to be bashing a perfectly good book because thats not what this is about

Twilight Zone!!!! OMG u do no longer understand what it truly is??? it truly is a technological awareness fiction television instruct from years back, yet very very reliable!!! i will no longer be able to have self assurance you probably did no longer understand approximately Twilight Zone!! a brilliant variety of the episodes are o.k. unfold!!!!

Oh my god! I totally agree! I hate it when people do it! All I am saying is that If you do not like the topic of the question or you do not have to say anything good about the question then don't click on it and thats how I feel! I have never read Twilight so I don't judge it and say that it is bad or that it is good because I've never read the series and I've never watched the movie and I bet that at least 1/2 of the people leaving nasty messages about how they hate Twilight have not even read Twilight! Don't worry, this happens all of the time..just ignore those peoples answers! :)

I agree, most of these people dont give it a chance. Not only that, but they don't want to be part of the crowd that is totally into what everyone else is in. I personally like it. So why don't people just give it a try before they say no. It is about vampires, but not the way you would think at all. If you read it and don't like it then fine, no worries, no problems. Ask yourself this why is there such a big hype about it then?
