ok not only does she have a great body but omg I adore that tattoo on her chest. LOVE. IT.

Yes, it’s about sparkly vampires and werewolves fighting over a girl. Yes, normal vampires don’t sparkle..I get it. As a Twilight fan, I’ve heard it all.
Why do Harry Potter fans and Hunger Games fans, etc, bash on it so much? It’s a different genre, so it’s not like it’s competing with HP. That would be a bit different.
It’s the haters of the saga that make Twilight fans embarassed to be Twilight fans. And the books are so much better than the movies. And give it a chance before you hate and call it gay. It’s not gay.
We all have different intrests, deal with it and accept me for who I am instead of judging me for what I like.
Oh, and for the record, I am a Hunger Games fan too.

You’re right… it’s not gay… it’s paedophilia.
People wouldn’t hate it so much if it wasn’t so problematic against women’s rights and the whole pedophilia issue.
Don’t forget the abusive relationship part.
Yes, OP has rather missed the point. Sparkly vampires are inherently silly, sure, but that’s not the problem. I like a lot of silly things myself! You want to read about a sparkly vampire love story, I won’t stop you.
My problem with Twilight, and why I (and a whole lot of other people) ‘hate on it’ is the sexism, racism, glorification of abusive relationships, thinly veiled religious propaganda, highly questionable morality on the part of the protagonists, constant undermining of women’s rights, worrying subtext on vital and complex issues such as rape and abortion, and the fact that all this shit is aimed at pre-teen girls.
The fact that there might be young people growing up today who think that removing your girlfriend’s car engine so that she can’t visit her friend is a romantic gesture, scares me.
The fact that a guy falls in love with a baby and then grooms her throughout infancy to love him, even giving her a ‘promise ring’ when she is still a child and this is seen as a healthy relationship, scares me.
The fact that at one point two of the male ‘heroes’ have a conversation about forcibly knocking a girl out with drugs and aborting her baby without her consent, scares me.
The fact that this series of books is so popular really fucking scares me. As someone who has read all of them, I have nothing but anger and contempt for the series. So no, I won’t ‘judge you for what you like’. I will however, continue judging the shit out of these books, and I will not stop openly speaking out about how terrible and damaging they are.

Stop hating on twilight? Does not compute.

That explanation far exceeds anything else I could ever come up with.
Also, the writing is godawful. I had a hard time slogging through it, because it felt like I was reading the creative writing project of a middle schooler who just figured out what a thesaurus was.
My being a Harry Potter fan has nothing to do with my intense dislike for the book. In fact, it’s possible to like both. I just cannot like anything about the Twilight series. I thought the movies were bad, the books were bad, the story is bad… I mean, the story had potential if it weren’t for the gratuitous abuse. I could go on for ages about that, because I was in a relationship with someone who treated me like Edward treated Bella, and it’s NOT sunshine and cuteness and bubblegum and romance. It’s awful. I will do a write-up if someone asks, but beyond that, I won’t bore you with the rant.
I also like how this overlooks how Twilight fans bash Harry Potter in the same way. Hurrrr hurrrr.
All of this.
I’ve only read the first book, and the only reason I actually considered reading the second was because in the preview Bella was about to be murdered.
I liked the first one just fine when i read them, but then I got older and during a midnight reread I noticed how scary it would be to be in that kind of relationship.
Also the ending of the fourth book was a huuuuuge letdown.
what all of the above people said. people, seriously think about this. If you’re a fan, step back and really look at it.
this shit should be banned.

The first woman to ask for divorce and lead an army, Eleanor of Aquitaine lived until she was 82 (pretty good considering most died in their 40s). She got a formal education, which was really rare for women in that era. There are rumours that she poisoned her second husband Henry II’s mistress, the Fair Rosamund.
This lady’s bad-ass.
