The Twilight Examiner, Amanda Bell, has written a piece about how the media bashing of Twilight has gotten ridiculous. Obviously Twilight does not appeal to everyone, but do we see the same type of critique applied to mostly male driven items? Are conventioners in Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or other events constantly questioned as to how they choose to spend their money?
To Amanda we say “Rock on, sister! Rock-on!”
“That’s it. Somebody has to say it. Enough with the passive aggressive Twilight fan-bashing already.
Today, an article by the Frisky’s Nikki Dowling has effectively taken a place as the 1,037,394th (rough estimate, naturally) article writer to take a stab at fans of the Twilight series and their interest in becoming an active community.
For months, it has been a running gag. Media outlets post snippets of information about the Twilight series, its cast, the studio involved, and the fans, but they do so under the auspices of irritation. An air of accomplishment accompanies their snarky remarks about fans of the series.
Today’s article is a prime example of that incessant patronization.”

Ok. First off, I dont like the Twilight books at all. And I say this as a person who has read all of the books, twice, and seen the movie.
I really just wanted people to know that there are legitimate reasons to really NOT LIKE this book. Its a terrible story, with a terrible plot, and mostly terrible characters. I could list everything that I think is wrong with the book but I doubt anyone would read it.
I just wanted to say that as someone who legitimately dislikes the books and is not a basher in any form, please don’t mistake bashers from the real thing. There are several things I do like about the books but they are so severely overshadowed by the bad I cant bring myself to read them anymore.
Now, I have to say that i don’t dislike Twilight lovers as a whole. I think that some of them are really misguided about a lot of things in the book. I am a Jacob supporter. But the one character that I absolutely hate is Bella.
If people who like Twilight can overlook everything that is bad about the book and still like it? More power to them. but if you would like to know why people who don’t like the actual book and not JUST the fandom, feel free to email me and we can discuss it. recordkeeper@rocketmail.com
I just wanted everyone to know that not everyone who doesn’t like Twilight is just out to bash it. There are real reasons. Thank you for reading.
