I dislike the books, but after seeing image after image labeled "Twilight sucks", as well as commentaar after commentaar with the words, I'm beginning to see why we can be accused of being "haters."
"Sucks" is not a swear word. To say something sucks is not going to send u to hell. But it is derogatory, and immature, and does not lead to any real discussion. Well, unless some mature Twilighter comes along and say, "I see that u think Twlight sucks. Why?" That might spark discussion. But the twilighter has the upperground in that debate, considering the anti has already shown her immaturity door using the term "sucks."
When I hear the word, I think of frat boys leaning out the windows of SUV screaming at rival universiteit students "COUGARS SUCK!" (Note: The WSU Cougars happen to be my alma mater's rival.) It's not really becoming of an intellectual, which I know everyone on here is (or at least, tries to be). It's a juvenile slang that's OK in the halls of high schools of middle schools and on television, and complaining about things in your life (ala "My life sucks!"). However, it adds no real substance to the great debate over the issues and topics in Twilight. The afbeeldingen people are adding are funny, and sometimes make excellent points through humor. Sometimes, the afbeeldingen are not mature (but still funny), but I'm willing to accept that so long as it doesn't come with the titel "Twilight Sucks." We can all indulge in a little immaturity every now and then.
But I guess what I'm asking of u antis is, be nice. Use your words. Be respectful of people who like Twilight and may take offense to u using the term "sucks" to describe it. I know this has been going on for a long time, but that's exactly why I think it's run its course and we should put an end to it. "Twilight sucks," Oh, haha, yes, OK, there we go, let's verplaats on.
OK?

I used to be a die-hard Twilight fan. (see my username. Damn I wish I'd chosen ANYTHING else sometimes.)
I still like the book in small doses now, and I even write fanfiction for it, but now I've looked critically at SMeyer's characters, and I think I realize what people are talking about when they say Bella zwaan-, zwaan is a Mary Sue.
As a person who has seen it from both sides, I'd like to say that maybe Twilight fans didn't see Bella like that to begin with because she has so many "flaws".
I'm not really a mega-supporter of Bella's neediness. And I even, admittedly, wonder why she took Edward back after New Moon. Normal people with lives and better things to do would say, "Hell no am I taking u back. u left me crying in a forest, and u think I'll just come running back to you? u wanna commit suicide, go right ahead while I get the popcorn."
I still like Twilight. But maybe Bella zwaan-, zwaan was kind of 2-Dimensional.

I came across the site 'My life is average' (link) where people send in random quotes such as 'Today, my friend and I bought cake mix at the store. The cashier jokingly told us to bring him back some cake. We did. MLIA."
I curiously searched Edward Cullen and some pretty much hilarious results came up!
"Today, my 12-year-old Twilight obsessed little sister told me she wanted a life sized picture of Edward Cullen to put up on her wall. Since she's always telling me how much better Twilight is than Harry Potter, I decided to get her a life sized picture of Cedric Diggory instead. MLIA"
Not the funniest one there, but i've seen some that have made me literally crease. I would recommend looking some up if u want a good laugh and hate the hype surrounding Twilight! :)

Well i read twilight saga and i got confused I was thinking of either smashing my head with the book of the uithangbord i mean come on who the f*** makes vampires sparkle! i mean unless u want to give the image that there gay but there daring the oppisite sex.
Moving on anyway i have to compare Harry Potter Series vs. Twilight Saga Harry potter wins major. becuase twilight is just SO predictiable i mean common harry potter makes u want to stay at the end of your chair becuase its awesome
any way twilight is an OK book and the twilight movie i have to say it suks. the boeken are alright im just hoping that MIdnight sun is a million times better and also i know your gonna ask what team are u on im just gonna say I really dont care its not real so why even bother but if i was a Twihard i would choose Team Buffy becuase i want those cullens except ALICE<CARSILE<AND ESME to be killed for good i mean where ta hell id buffy when u nees her
i hope u see my point PEACE
