question time!

No ceramic comissions , I don't have any time right now sorry D:

Alright so a thought occurred to me the other day upon watching a video on youtube concerning Twilight fans. And thus I ask you my fellow watchers to help me figure something out, because I don't understand it apparantly. LOL

[start rant]
Now this is not meant for any particular individual at all. It just so happens that the majority of people on the internet and in real life act this way towards the Twilight series, or at least the scary ones that I've encountered. Again I said MAJORITY, not EVERYBODY. So don't get offended please. So help me understand something. I've read all the twilight books, and seen the movie. Why is everyone in love with the series and Edward? Is he like the perfect man for you guys or something?
Personally I prefer a guy to have flaws because that's what makes the human aspect possible and its normal. If you're hoping that you'll have a relationship that doesn't hit any speedbumps or roadblocks, then you need to get your head out of the clouds and stay out of relationships, because every relationship does have at least one problem longterm or short term. There's no arguing that. You might deal with the problems, but to go around saying, well my relationship has never had any problems is not true. I'm not going to get into it in this journal however xD

Now I'm not bashing the series at all. For its story and creation, it is interesting, I will give it that. As I will acknowledge that it is a high selling book on the book market. I feel that the writing is terrible, but I'm not about to make that my argument here. But I don't see any reason to go around shoving it into people's faces. That's what politicians do, and the scary religious folk do. And you know what? When you guys do that, usually it makes us NOT want to join in on your little group. So I ask another question, why for twilight do you guys feel you need to get a loud voice ranting and raving about Edward and how sexy robert pattinson is, and how you want him to bite you, and how edward is the perfect guy and all guys should be like him and blah blah blah blah blah? This is what I hear from fans all the time:

Ahem....

"OH MY GOD EDWARD IS SO SEXY, HE IS A VAMPIRE! OMG OMG OMG! SPAAAAAAZZZ! I WANT HIS BABIES SO BADLY AND WE'LL HAVE THE PEEEERRRFECT RELATIONSHIP AND WE'LL LIVE HAPPILY EVERAFTER AND NOTHING WILL EEEEEVER GO WRONG! AND HE'LL SPOIL ME WITH GIFTS AND WE'LL PASSIONATELY MAKE OUT"

Katie: Ow, I think my soul just died a little. Please stop doing that!

He's an imaginary character, and doesn't exist. HE IS NOT REAL!!!! Therefore I see no reason to scream at the top of your lungs over the guy. And even if he was, I think I still wouldn't. Do you honestly think he'd want to be with someone who did that? I know I sure wouldn't.

It makes you socially akward, and people look at you weird as if you've never been in an actual conversation before.
So then that brings up another question. I see this ALL THE TIME with girls who love anime and videogames. It drives me nuts.
Why do you guys feel the need to scream at the top of your lungs when you hear a characters name, or to scream about how awesome the series is that you're watching, or attack us non-watchers when we say we don't like it? Its so incredibly annoying. Like really, is there any need for that?
I say no. We're allowed to voice our opinions on stuff, as we have freedom of speech thanks to America. I feel that you guys who don't like it when people don't agree with you, can't handle critique or opposite opinions, thus you yell at us based on your own insecurity. Yay psychology.

I'll tell you what works for me. If you want to tell me in a slightly energetic voice, thats somewhat calm why you like a series, sure I'll listen while giving you a critical opinion, but please don't yell and scream and turn all "fangirl" on me. That's just going to make my ears bleed. And the urge to hit you will be very tempting. And it will just piss me off. You can tell us you like something without screaming, you can tell us you like something if you're willing to put logic in what you say, but please don't scream at us. We can hear you fine if you use an inside voice. Trust me on this.[endrant]

well, i personally do like the twilight series, but i remember just picking up the book when it was first out cause i was in dire need of at least some type of book and it sounded good. then when i heard they were making a movie i was like 'wtf?!' i had no idea every fucker had jumped on a band wagon.

as for fan girls, thats not a twilight thing, thats an idiot thing. if there wasn't twilight, there would just be some other book/movie/show they'd all be following like the mentals they are.

As a character I like edward. The whole point of his character is yes, physically he has no flaws, but its the fact that he is emotionally flawed, i think is the reason that girls mostly cling to. I liked more the relationship build up, the teenage sexual tention thing, and the whole fantistical romance more than i actually liked the characters. but the idea of a whirl wind romance is something that makes reading interesting for most people and meyer has written it very well.

but like you i agree the way people get on is just embarssing. fortunatly living in belfast you dont get many of them, and the ones you do get aren't to OTT. gotta admit thou that guy playing edward in the movie was fucking SMOKING. he may be a made up character but i wouldnt say no =D

but yeah i may not have to put up with twilight nuts, but i do have to put up with my two very best friends constantly saying 'omg i wanna be MRS TROY BOLTON!!!' -,- yes, thats right, the fucking wanker zack efron outta high school muscial.. and they know most of the songs and enjoy to annoy me with them AHHH!! if i didnt love them i'd have stabbed them by now lol

If you can't handle the critiquing commentary or critical things I have to say, then maybe you shouldn't even be on the Internet!

I would love to hear an explanation for why you're being so ridiculous.
