I Hate "Twilight" So Very Much

I would like to apologize ahead of time because this is a bit of a rant.
I hate the book series “Twilight”. With a passion. I hate it for two reason.
The first one is what the series has done to vampires. Hundreds of years of mythology, books, and classic movies, such as Nosferatu and Dracula, established vampires as evil. They are undead monsters raised by a foul ritual, cursed forever to drink the blood of the living, to never be able to see the day again, and rest in some fashion with the earth of their grave. They are soulless abominations that must be hunted down and destroyed, for they are a blight upon life itself. With just one book series, that has been completely been ruined. Vampires are now romantic, faggoty-ass, misunderstood creatures that are the incarnation of every girl’s dream and should be idolized. And they glitter. THEY GLITTER?!?! WTF? The very idea of what a vampire is has been completely destroyed with one book series.
Which leads to my second reason why I hate “Twilight”. For the past two evenings I have had dinner with a friend of mine and her roommate. Care to guess what they talked about? If you guessed “Twilight”, you are only half correct. Specifically, they talked about how wonderful Edward Cullens is. I have not lived very long, only 21 years, but I have never seen such an obsession over an obviously fictional character. And this has spread to what girls expect out of guys. Almost every girl that has read “Twilight” expects guys to be perfect like Edward Cullens. My friend’s roommate actually said that every guy should read “Twilight” and take notes from Edward Cullens. I might actually do that, if it wasn’t for the fact that all girls would expect you to be NEARLY EXACTLY like Edward Cullens. It is impossible to meet the expectations set by a fictional character designed to be perfect, as no one is perfect. Another example of this obsession is that last night or so, I updated my Facebook status to say something to the effect, “It’s fucking cold outside”. Cussing is my one bad habit, however I have never cussed around these girls. True, I have used the word “fuck” in my status before, but that was before they had read “Twilight”. Next thing I now I get comments from them saying Edward Cullens would never cuss, that I should read Twilight, and I should ask “What would Edward Cullens do”.
Why is this such an obsession? My mother substitute teaches at a middle school, and every single girl she sees carries a copy of Twilight. Even girls that I know that are geeks such as myself, into video games and Dungeons and Dragon, obsesses over these books and Edward Cullens. I cannot think of anything that has made my so angry, that I have hated so much. ARGHHH!!!

Teenage girls are idiots. But then, all teenagers are idiots when you cut to the heart of the matter.
Reality TV, boy bands, bad stand-up comedy, whatever. Trying to convince 200 million people that what they like is no good is like trying to put out a forest fire with a watering can. Just step aside and feel silently superior and your life will be a lot less stressful.
i think the real issue here is that you need better friends and to stop hanging around people who let a fictional romance novel provide ideals for their lives
it's "Cullen"
no s at the end
Maybe he added the s for spite.

It's a cold comfort, but at least you'll have something.

the bad parts were hilarious and the Cullen family were actually flawed enough to be interesting
although I hear that everything I liked about the movie is different in the book
I guess Stephanie Meyer is the biggest enemy of Twilight

Well I mean fiction is often a vehicle for things that are more important than just silly stories. But I guess in this case, we're probably talking about people who wouldn't pick up on those things anyway.
WAIT R U A GAMER GRRL??? OMG COM 2 MAI HAUS!
So this is from a 'meta' point of view?

Also, the Twilight books are all incredibly thinly-veiled propaganda for Mormonism.
So there's that.
