Twilight is fine.

I’m starting to hate people who hate Twilight infinitely more than I hate people who love it. I never have to hear about how sexy Edward Cullen is or how much someone wants to be Bella Swan anymore. Almost every day though, I do have hear that “Twilight sucks!” or “Vampires are gay”. I’m so sick and tired of being in literature classes and having pointless “discussions” about Twilight. If someone doesn’t know what to say whenever people are talking about books at all, they just say that Twilight is stupid. Then, everyone agrees, but no one says anything that is at all worth my time. There is more to literature than Twilight and Harry Potter. Go read something—ANYTHING—else.

I understand that it was obnoxious to have Twilight extolled as if it were Shakespeare’s finest work when it got popular, because it’s nothing of the sort. It sucks to have it shoved in your face all the time, but now you’ve become the obnoxious pain in the ass. If you’re going to criticize it, then at least come up with a thoughtful argument. This subject has been beaten to dust. Say something new or shut up.

There are plenty of books that are just as good/bad as Twilight. There are thousands that are much better and thousands that are much worse. MOVE ON. You don’t need to be either ashamed or proud of liking Twilight. Do what you want and, at least in university literature and writing courses, TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
