To twilight fans: No ones telling you what to do or what to like. We as people who don't follow Twilight as rabidly as you do are just getting tired of it being shoved in our faces,down our throats, and taking over nearly ruining our sci fi conventions. And that's why there is so much hate against it because of the fandom(mainly you guys...no offense well some of you) not the books and movies themselves.   It's okay that you think Edward Cullen is epitome of the perfect vampire/man although Jim Butchers White Vampire Court, Alucard from Hellsing, Anne Rice's Lestat, or Trinity Blood's Abel would eat him alive and in every culture's folklore about vampires if you guys would actually do some reading vampires don't sparkle in the sunlight. We as those who DON'T like Twilight don't think he's all that. Its all good that's just our opinion. Just like you guys have yours. And believe me  it's wonderful that Bella Swan is your role model even though she is the poster child for Mary Sue with no backbone who cant make up her mind and probably is worst example for teenage girls to follow because she thinks it romantic that she's being stalked and a possessive jealous broody potential violent individual that is the prototype for the abusive husband if he werent a vampire.  I read the book, trying to give it a chance and it failed...horribly. I just wanted it to end after a while. I saw the movie too and for the first time, excluding Robert Pattinson, the movies were actually better than the books IMHO because the guys of the Wolf clan were hot. In fact I thought Bella even more stupid/wishy washy for not staying with Jacob who was the more stable/sane between the two which pushed me further away from the series.  But hey it works for you guys and Stephanie Meyer because you all have made her rich and continue to make her rich

I find that the majority of the comments against Twilight and Twilight fans alike, come from those who have not even bothered to watch any of the films or read the books... I find this strange as I find it hard myself to form an opinion on something I have no knowledge of.

Twilight is a great story. It allows readers to escape to a 21st century alternate world. A place where true love and real friendship is always there. Why wouldn't ANY girl/woman like it? Every person young or old looks for that one person who will love them forever, teens read it because that's how we want our life to be. Older women read it because it reminds them of there first love and how they would have wished they would have found the one the first time. But we all know that's not how it works which is exactly why we all escape and dive into books. They're alternate realities.

As for the haters . . . . they can read these comments. And after just ignore them, they want attention, if we as Twilight fans simply state our opinions they'll end up leaving it all alone.

Well..I tell them that if they dont like it they shouldnt waste their time arguing about it... lol (:

the haters are blind to the love story they really should sit and read all 4 books before commenting cos recon they would soon change there mind after reading them.Im in late 20s and love them i was unsure of reading books at first but my sister gave me them to borrow and couldnt stop reading i read all 4 books in a 8 days and beaking dawn only took me 2 days to read and wanted to start reading them all over again when finished.Also my mum likes the films and she 48 so is definately for all so ignore the haters and just enjoy what they missing out on.

I don't understand it when people say things like: 'Twilight isn't a really book!' or 'We shouldn't be encouraging children to read such appalling literature.' I'm pretty sure (and I've read a lot of books designed for teenage girls) that Twilight is well written and enjoyable. What else do you want from a book?! I read Twilight and it had to be the best book I've ever read. It encouraged me to start writing, and from there I've developed a very solid idea of becoming a journalist and I'm now top of the class in English.
I don't understand why they join websites/visit them just to get upset about the posts/comments of the fans and tell them that they're wrong. If you don't like something, then don't read it. Something titled 'Team Twilight' is going to have a lot of fans who don't appreciate getting called morons on a site that's devoted to fans. I also don't appreciate it when people I've been talking for a few seconds - and have never met before then - discover I like Twilight and immediatly lump me in with the 'Screaming Fanatic' stereotype. I've loved Twilight for more than two years and I've never met anyone who actually fits that stereotype.

i bealive its preatty obviuos that we r not gonna find someone as edward cullen or jacob black in this world.......and even more obviuos that someone like robert pattinson or taylor lautner r not gonna find us......but off course that we read it cuz somehow we believe in it, in the story, and the feelings that it makes us find in ourselves (ok, im getting too emotional and thats not normal here jajaja), this is not 4 teen girls only, as a proov, my parents have watch the movie and the actually like (not like me, that im kind of a addictive fan jajaja just kidding), but they actually c the kind of work that all of those person had put into this movie and all the books, and all the rest of the twilight saga's stuff!!!!! me as all of u, and thousands of people around the world, believe in this project with all of our strenght, and we know its only getting bigger!! (we dont know how it can get bigger......but im sure it will)!!!

OMG! for the last time...Twilight is not for screaming teenage girls! Obviously the haters are either just in denial or they're too stupid to read the series! If they read it, they probably wouldnt be Twi-Haters.
I'm not a teenager, but I LOVE these books/films....so the haters can just go find some other group to annoy!

I get seeeeeriously fed up of all this crap. The people that say bad things about Twilight obviously have nothing better to do and it is all just jealousy! Today,I got an event invitation to "smack a twilight fan day" - what the hell?! I don't like football (soccer)! but that doesn't mean I'm gonna go around shouting abuse at them. It is jealousy that now most females who have read the saga have a shared thing in common and others are jealous that they are not part of the loop. Especially boys who are evidently upset that they aren't getting the attention. ARGH. It's ridiculous.

Also, I hate it when they're like "all Twilight Fans think that Edward Cullen is gonna come and they're living in a fantasy world" EVERYONE know that the books are fantasy, tbh, that's what drew me too them. If Twilight was real I would be SERIOUSLY depressed as I really didn't have my own Edward Cullen.

It is something we all have in common, I went to the UK Fan Event and met loads of new friends because it is something we can all talk about and twilight fans are just lovely!

We don't abuse what they enjoy and so they shouldn't shout at ours. (sorry about the super long post)

Twilight haters are just jealous...I am an older Twilight fan (very obsessed) and theres nothing wrong with that! Many of my friends are, too....People who say they hate it, havent read it, don't get it, or just want to bash someone or something! Don't waste you time with them!

I completly agree... If u don't like the saga MIND UR OWN BUESSINESS!!!!!!!!! I too like Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings... But I'm not gonna bash Twilight just 4 dat... Plus I <3 the saga now... Ive only seen the movies but I will read the books... I just don't get ppl who say it has NO point... obviously theres a point... Or at least id say over 1 million ppl think so... P.S. To everyone who doesn't like ppls judgments becuz they've only seen the movies... that kinda hurts... I am fair... I am on both teams... Go Team Jakeward!!!!!!!! :)

I think everyone has a right to their opinion and if we all liked the same things life would be pretty boring.

I am almost 33 and love Twilight and if you dont, thats ok.

Its a little harsh to be seeking out sites and telling everyone they suck and it is seen all over the place. I find it amazing what people do for fun as putting people down cant be very rewarding! Like the old saying goes "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all"!

I think it's so funny that like half of the twilight fans are NOT TEENS, and a lot of people don't understand that SHE'S NOT A TEEN, and wrote it for EVERYONE, hence the reason it has so many fans. It wasn't meant for a "specific" age group, she just wrote what she wanted and let the people have at it. Haters just don't understand that. And that's fine. They can say all they want, and what does it do? It makes us "twihards" even more fanatic! If they wanted Twilight to go away, they'd leave it alone. Hating on it, and bashing it all the time just proves how amazing it is :) DUH. And my momma's like 50 and she LOVES Twilight. She's probably more obsessed than I am, and I'm barely 20. She couldn't understand why I was so obsessed when I first read them until she watched the movie and dove in the books, now she's just about as crazy as all the other teen girls I know. It's pretty funny in my opinion :) Let them hate, let them say whatever, but the fact of the matter is, Twilights pretty awesome, with some pretty crazy fans, and there's NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

no entiendo mxo..XD....
bueno..esa joto es muy linda..

I love this site tooo!!!! Your awesome at this!!!!! Twilight hater should go some where else to be HATERs!!!!! <3

I have never understood why people seem to slam on others just people cause they don't like something that someone else does. My best friend LOVES the Harry Potter series, but she is still my best friend and I definitely don't "dog" her about it. We are all entitles to our own opinion.
I am in the "over 20" group...in fact, I am in the "over 30" group. My husband and I saw the movie first and very much enjoyed it. It was a beautiful love story. Then we both read all 4 books and Midnight Sun and we both love the entire Twilight Series. The books are phenomenal. Stephanie has a way of drawing you in and keeping you there to the point you can't put the books down. I am so glad I read them after they were all released. The break in between would have drove me nuts! Also, I think they have something for everyone (teens, adults, men and women)...a love story, action and adventure, suspense and yes, even science-fiction.
On a side note...after you read the book you do realize how much they went "off book" for the "Twilight" movie, but that doesn't make it any less of a good movie.

i think most of the haters out there are guys..not saying all of them are cuz my friend loves twilight and hes a guy...but there are girls out there too who hate it and think its stupid how twilight fans are all over this werewolf/vampire thing thats not real!it makes me so mad cuz i love twilight and i think twilight haters should shut their frieken mouths!!!!and im pretty sure some of the haters arent allowed to read twilight so they go talking crap about it!

argh i have 2deal with this on a daily basis +only 2 of my friends love the saga+wer all 20 somethings, the amount of abuse we get for loving this thing so much is ridiculous!!! its completely true as others have said that the twilight haters opinions are based merely on assumptions+stereotyping! they have never read the books or even begun to give them a chance they are just guessing at what its about based on snippets of the films they may have seen or just hopping on the twilight hating bandwagon. the fact is Stephenie Meyer is an awesome writer! and i really truly love her writing style+everything about her as an author+the way she has gone about this whole thing, The Host is also an amazing book if u havent read it u definitely should! the thing is the saga only became classed as a teen thing once the films were in production before this i dont think we really got as much hate for it+thats probably to do with the fact that obviously less people were aware of it+as someone above said some people do just love to hate anything that is even relatively popular.
neee wayz going to stop there as i could go on ranting about this for ageess but it would probably take up the enitre page! lol
love the site +keep up the good work Team-Twilight.
+2every1 else keep on loving Twilight who cares what the other fools think!

Everyone has a the right to an opinion right? So what is so wrong for us to love Twilight? It's just like how everyone loves Harry Potter (which is really good but it doesn't hold the same interest to me as Twilight does) and do you hear people having a go at those who are obsessed with Harry Potter? No not really (not that I'm saying it never happens), so why is it any different for us loving Twilight. Wow people seem to have real problems with others these days, just because someone else doesn't agree with you that doesn't make them wrong.

its ridiculous to hate twilight so much. people should be hating criminals more than they hate twilight but they dont! if they dont like twilight, they should not talk about it. i know that if you keep being mean about something, lots of people will hate you. you dont have to love it, in fact, you could hate 'said thing', but its rude to go around saying mean things when people who love it can see it.
i happen to love twilight and team-twilight and i'll follow you until the end of time!

I hate the people that say bad things about Twilight,Team-Twilight is an excellent blog,they are jealous,how can they say Twilight sucks,that's not true,Twilight is the best thing in this whole world,Twilight is better than Harry Potter and all the movies and i'm not saying this cuz Twilight is famous or cuz the harry potter fans talked bad about us,i'm saying this cuz it's true and it's not fair that they say those bad things about us cuz we've never said bad things about them and they hate Twilight cuz they don't understand what it's the real love and cuz they know Twilight is a 100 times much better than Harry Potter and anything in this world ,SO GO TEAM-TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really dont see what they are doing on a fan page if they hate it that mutch! But hah its them who are missing alot! :D but i dont care.. :) I like what i like and they like what they like.. and thats it

I do kind of agree with the fact that some teenage fans can become too obsessed and screamy and love Rob Pattinson/Taylor Lautner.
Because of this, most twilight fans are now branded the same, and called "morons" is just going a bit OTT.
I love this site as it gives me all the gossip surrounding the twilight "business" and i wish people wouldn't put everyone under the same branch and automatically think we are all some obsessed girls.

ahah, i love the argument on the second link, everyone just TOLD that geekygirluk person :)
what she said was sooooo harsh, if we said that about harry potter or whatever was her favourite, she would have gone sicko too.
i hate people who blast the twilight books, its really harsh. okay so if they have read the books then their opinion is valid but if not they should just keep their thoughts to themselves. Also, i HATE the term 'twi-hard' because it just labels everyone under this one name, so everyone thinks we're all crazed, 'rabid' psychos, which were aren't. all the time.

It's just cos they don't like the twilight saga, i mean i like harry potter and lord of the rings as much as the next person but even if i didn't like them i wouldn't complain about them i would just say i like this you like that and that is the end of this argument!
Each to their own i always say :)
