Question: Why do I get so annoyed by twilight ppl!?
I don't know what it is, but whenever I see someone lauding the twilight series, my heckles go up, and think: humpphh, these kids don't know a thing about literature!. Am I prejudiced!? I haven't read the books myself!.!.!. but I've done a lot of other reading of books of a 'different' type!. Why do I feel so annoyed by this!? May be it is because I loathe mass conformity, but then again, there is no denying that I am a conformist myself!. By the way, I HATED the Secret, which also had a serious following, and taht one i actually read :<

So why do YOU think I hate twilight worshipers!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

Perhaps because it has taken over the books and authors section of yahoo answers!?

Do NOT waste your time on that series or it's silly fangirl worshipers, who consist mainly of desperate, boyfriendless girls who haven't even taken the time to read something other than twilight to see what actual literature is suppose to look like!.

I used to rant about it, you know, voicing my opinion and using my freedom of speech!. and always got reported!. Now i just either ignore them, or tell them to write a their "questions" (ex, OMg, dontcha think edward is HOTT!?!!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?, or Isn't twilight like the bestest book ever in the universe!?!!?!) on a twilight fan page!.

I pray that this craze will end soon!. Very soon!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it might be because of how people behave when the series is brought up!.
Personally, I loved the Twilight series!. It was a nice easy read, if a bit boring in places, and there were enough details to keep me entertained!. It is a little cliche, and it's not very original (although I have to admit the vampires were almost a different species entirely!.) With that said, it's tween literature, that's what is to be expected!.
What I think is the most annoying is how when you mention the word Twilight and you're suddenly attacked by crazy fangirls and haters about what they think!. They try and shove their opinion down your throat!. Plus, haters seem to believe that if you liked Twilight you must have horrible taste in books!.
Everyone is just crazy opinionated!. A person either really loves it, or really hates it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

'Hate' is a bit over the top, but I get what you mean!.

I haven't read the books either - I saw them in the bookshop and was initially interested as they are bestsellers, but as soon as I discovered it was yet another human/vampire romance, I rolled my eyes and put them down with disgust!.

You probably get annoyed because the most vocal fans in this forum behave like stereotypical teenage girls (ie: getting obsessed and silly about the current pinup/fad/fictional undead lover)!. I get annoyed and roll my eyes because they say silly things like "My life is destroyed because Edward Cullen is not real", and because they seem to forget there are other books and activities to enjoy and talk about!.

But they will grow out of it!. Grit your teeth and give them some slack!.

I too, hated the secret!. I am guilty of dabbling in 'chick-lit' and even 'erotica' hehehe every now and again but I prefer real literature!.
My favorite author of 'our times' is Paulina Simons, give her a go!. Her best book by far is 'The girl in Times square' although you have to have read 'Red Leaves' to really deeply understand the Detective!.
I also like Paulo Coelho!.
I am for reading everything and I am going to try the Twilight series, even though it is aimed at teenage girls with Gothic fantasies (Guilty of these occasionally also!)
I won't 'knock it till i've tried it' but i am not expecting anything great!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably because you're a literary snob on a high horse!.

Maybe instead of hating the people reading "un-intelligent" literature, think about the fact they might not be reading otherwise!. At least they're READING, which may possibly lead to other wonderful books!. A good story is a good story, it's not conformity - It's just a good read!.

Well, my friend, I think you might have a good reason!. I only began reading this book at the insistence of 2 of my sisters-in-law!. One of them loves smutty, romance novels, so that should have been my first clue, but the other sister is a bit more trustworthy!. They both insisted they "fell in love" with Edward!. I am 340 pages deep and now I know that I too should have trusted my instincts!. It is simple reading, but it is too sugary!. The main characters are too perfect!. Bella is smart, but makes stupid mistakes!. She fawns over every last detail of him!. TOO much!. Not great literature, but simple, easy reading that might be appealing to the teenage population!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, I think in order to give an opinion on someones work you should take the time to read that person's work before forming an opinion!. I don't think is is fair to comment on a person's work without reading it first!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do it too!. I see someone one the train and all I can think of is that they are a poser!. But I have read the book!. So I guess that makes me one too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i feel the same way sometimes probably because the majority of questions here revolve around the twilight series!.!.it can get annoying for someone whos never read or has no interest in reading those books!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you have very good reasons to hate twilight people!. trust your instincts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's the fact that every one loves them!.
I hate them tooWww@QuestionHome@Com

You have a right to get annoyed with twilight people, because some of them are annoying!. The reason why everyone thinks that a huge percentage of them say "OMFGGZZZ EDWARD ROCKZZ!. HE IZZ MY LUVRR!. BIT3 MEEEE" is because the people who hate looking at that only talk about how they sound ridiculous typing and talking like that!. Honestly, it's just a book!. Well, a series of books and soon to be movie, but still!. If you don't like it, ignore!. Let people like what they like, even if some look like idiots!. Many of the fans are less obnoxious than that!. And teenagers are not the only ones who love the Twilight Saga!. I loathe the fans who type obnoxiously about a fictional character, but i have a profound respect for the women of TwilightMOMS i've been hearing a lot about!. I honestly think you should read a book before you judge it!. Instead of "judging a book by its cover", you're judging a book by its fanbase!. Relax!. Breathe!. It doesn't seem like the buzz is going down yet, so just do your best to turn your cheek!.
