lolwut?

 

To hate something like this is really such a waste of energy. Pathetic.

 

...Whatever. I couldn't care less anymore.

 

Yet here you are doing the exact same thing but from the other side of the fence. How's your butt feel?

 

I'm actually curious how many people in this thread haven't read Twilight. I can see a few have, but I'm getting the feeling most haven't. Like me.

AND KEVIN COSTNER IS AWESOME. (Capitalised for correctness!)

 

 

Would this be the correct venue for me to vent my disinterest in anything Twighlight other than these trainwrecks of threads?

 

I've never read the book, but I do own a copy of it. I just can't bring myself to actually read it.

 

I don't like Twilight because the books are badly written, the films are laughable Rifftrax bait At Best, and then there are the forty year old over-weight women who wear the Pajama Pants and "Team Cullen" Softball Uniforms to the midnight launches for the property. I'm not going to shove it down the throats of those who Do like it, because well, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. However I don't like how Meyer can get so much attention and craft a cultural phenomenon based around a badly (again, Opinion not fact) written teenage wank-fest that's easily related to because it's main characters reflect that of every fantasy that every woman, and in some cases man, has ever had of the Romantic High. I'm all for escapism, well written escapism, artful escapism.

Again, whatever floats your abstinence laced Kool-Aid.

 

Dang it why can't twilight hype just die all ready.

 

No, I'm posting in a thread about a book/movie series I don't like. You're trolling people who are doing that. So my butt's fine, kthx. Nice try, though.

 

Apparently your definition of trolling is completely different than mine. I responded to the sillyness of posting about a new book with the sole intent of bashing it on the internet and the need for people to feel better about themselves by doing so. Then I responded to your whine-fest about those who can accept the fact that books/movies such as Twilight have a successful and have a large fan following. Neither of which is trolling.

 

Personally, my problem with Twilight is it's current influence, not the book itself.

Example: The idiot who claimed "The Wolfman" was a rip-off of "New Moon".

Pretty sure she isn't the only one in her category.

 

The whole "You are nothing without a man", "Stalkers are the ones you should love", "Toy with a guy's feelings as you please because he's not good enough for you", "Don't move on when your boyfriend leaves you" thing, as well as the afore mentioned Mary Sue and horrid writing issues. The vampire and werewolf stuff is annoying, but nothing more then that, and vampires have been going down the shitter for ages now. No, it's the messages that it's sending out to it's readers (especially the young girls that love this drivel) that bothers me.

 

And I'm sure it made you feel better to do so, didn't it. I do hope that high ground has some shelter on it; it must be quite windy that high up.

I know they do. I, however, don't like them. I'm honestly not interested in what you think about that OR about my opinion on them, and I doubt anyone else is either.
The fact remains that you came into a thread, knowing full well what it would be about and what sort of replies it would already contain, and proceeded to make a statement already knowing again full well that someone would take exception to it. And let's be honest here, it's not the first time you've done that either. I highly doubt that you would have said a thing if I hadn't called you on it the other day.

Making a comment knowing full well that someone will reply negatively to it = baiting people into responding badly = trolling.
It's no different to this dickheaded trend that GD seems to currently have of posters going into a thread that is clearly going to provoke strong feelings or outrage in people and posting some mocking bullshit about how people are overreacting, knowing full well that it'll get attention and angry retorts.
And I STILL ask, because no-one has bothered to answer yet: Why did you even bother in the first place?

 

I guess this is the bigger picture of things, huh? Good point Lumpy.

 

And yet you can find all these messages in every romance novel, daytime soap opera, mtv reality series, and 90210/Melrose Place/Gossip girls/Gilmore Girls drama.

Twilight isn't exactly threading any new ground here.

 

I feel another fart coming

 

But everything you listed isn't exactly leaving as big of a print as Twilight is....

 

Sorry, I ate some chili
