All right, first of all, being a pretty huge twilight fan, i find what you said rather unpleasant. Not that I can't deal with the criticism, but I can understand how some fãs will react to your analysis. Regular Twilight fans, such as myself, try not to let the harsh opinions of those who don't like Twilight, get to us. I mean, there are alot of antis, and I can deal with that. We deal with the haters, the trashers, the antis everyday. I think its only fair that you do the same. There are many antis whom I have enjoyed talking to. Just because I like Twilight, it doesn't mean I have to hate all those who don't like it. We don't agree sometimes, but we always are able to come to a compromise or middle ground. Calling liking Twilight "giving in to such stupidity", that's rather unclassy. I'm sure you can find a better way of voicing your opinion. We all like different things. That's what makes us different. Since Twilight is in the spotlight at the moment, there's always two sides to a coin. People are going to hate it and some who are going to amor it. I agree, alot of the fangirls get annoying. I too have to put up with that every day, but when the fad is done and gone, it'll be fine. It's just like the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. They were/still are a fad. I can voice my opinion por saying it's childish or whatever, but calling the fãs "childish", it's not right. Those fãs find something in them [Jonas Brothers/Miley Cyrus] that is special. Us Twilight fãs find something in the story that is special to us or is meaningful. So calling us stupid, your calling our beliefs stupid. Not only our logic of why we like the story, but you're calling any of our beliefs stupid. The sane twilight fãs like it for a reason. And calling us stupid, it's like your calling everything we believe in stupid. However, I personally find the macro hilarious. It's someone's way of voicing their opinion. There's a difference between saying that about one certain object and calling all those who like it stupid. Last year, Kevin Smith, well known writer/producer, mentioned 'Twilight' during his panel at Comic Con 09 (The New Moon Panel was a little bit earlier). Alot of people in the crowd started booing. He said, "No, stop stop." Then said, "That's what I amor about a comic book invention. Here's this one person standing there in a Spock costume and looks over there to someone in a chewie costume and says, 'Look at that geek.'" He's implying that we all like different things. Those who insult Twilight, who find us geeks or "retarded", may like estrela Trek, and that's what we think is geeky and nerdy. We all have our tastes and likes. It's not right to belittle someone when they think differently than you. PS. My apologies for saying "stupid" so much. Lol. I was trying to make a point.
