I feel like I just posted about the Harry Potter fan problem. Because I did, they ARE a problem. And now they have fueled an entirely new fire in me.
This is just natural human nature: When your attacked that is one thing. When you are attacked on a home front, the game changes.
Ok, I am probably getting ahead of myself, let me explain: There is a site called MyLifeIsTwilight.com, it is just like MylifeisAverage.com, and if you've never heard of either it goes a little like this: People post short little stories about something fun that happened that shows how much Twilight is in their life.
For example, "Today I met a new kid at school who drove a silver Volvo and said he was a vegetarian, I had the strongest urge to ask him if his name was "Edward" and if he sparkled in the sun! MLIT. "
So, they usually start with "Today" and end with the MLIT.
Awesome right? Sounds like a cool site huh? Sure it is, I totally get entertained reading every one's entries. So what's my problem? What has my blood boiling and my blood pressure shooting sky high? What has my body shaking and my vision blurring? Well, my friends, I'll tell you.
The comments section.
The comments section seems to have been invaded by haters. And when I say invaded, I'm not exaggerating. And when I say haters I mainly mean haters of the Harry Potter fan type. And when I say I am pissed, that is the understatement of the century.
Ok, so you may think I am being a little dramatic, but these comments just aren't of the elementary style, such as "You're dumb," or "Harry Potter could kill Edward." Not that those don't exist as well, but the majority are much, much worse.
The vulgarity of the comments, and the audacity of these people who think they have some God given right to tell us that something is wrong with us for liking Twilight, is outrageous.
When asked why they were hanging around a Twilight fansite bashing people, most claimed that they left comments and wasted hours out their day in hopes to convert a few Twilight Fans into non Twilight Fans. What I say- YEAH THE FUCK RIGHT. The fake Mother Theresa attitude doesn't fool me for a second. What I think- They get pure joy and entertainment by putting down people and bashing a book series. Actually, I would bet my life savings (however small it may be is beside the point) that they only want more fans to come, because that is the only way they can contintue to have their "fun."
These people are sucking every ounce of fun out of this site for Twilight fans. I would be hesitant to post there as a Twilight fan, just out of fear of the insults and abuse that would be sure to come. That is sad. sad. sad. We are already such a judged group and have to keep our excitement and joy to a minimum in public or in front of others, but when we can't even do it on our own FAN sites anymore, things have crossed the line.
I can think of no other solution to this than to ask Twilight fans to unite. MyLifeisTwilight.com needs to be taken back. The haters own the place right now, and that doesn't sit right with me and it shouldn't with you.
I have a feeling this won't be the only post about this issue. I know RedPieces will have something to say as well.
