Yeah, people can be such judgey pricks about Twilight, and I don't get it. If you don't like Twilight, chances are you like some other trashy book. And if you don't like any trashy books, chances are there's a trashy movie, tv series, or game you love. (Don't even get me started on fanfic.) And if you really, truly do not have a single trashy bit of fiction you enjoy...well, one, I'm not sure I believe you, and two, that doesn't really sound like much fun.

Ha, yes, I really disliked Twilight but I love Forgotten Realms novels, so it's not because of the quality issue!

They're judgy because Twilight is rather terrible as a series. Sure, the universe and backstory are great, but the plot and the characters leave something to be desired.

I'm sure I like some terrible series myself, but I don't pretend they're anything but, nor do I acted shocked when I discover that there are people in the world with sticks up their butts.

None of this negates what I was saying. At all.

They're judgy because Twilight is rather terrible as a series.

And that's fine. Judging Twilight is fine. It's judging people for enjoying it that I think is dickish.

I'm sure I like some terrible series myself, but I don't pretend they're anything but

That's fine. But if someone else thinks a piece of fiction is better than you think it is, so what? Now they deserve to be sneered at, and have it heavily implied that they are stupid and infantile (which is what a lot of Twilight fans have to deal with)? Tastes differ.

Look, I don't think the Twilight series is good. OP isn't claiming it's good, nor are any of the other people in this thread who are saying they liked some or all of it. But if someone does want to come in here and argue that it is good, so what? Obviously, for them, it is good.

nor do I acted shocked when I discover that there are people in the world with sticks up their butts.

Oh, that wasn't shock. That was contempt for judgey dicks.

I don't hate it because it's trashy, I hate it for the sexism. Honestly, I think a lot of people would be more forgiving if it were intentionally trashy, but it takes itself so extremely seriously that it's hard to overlook the negatives.

I hate it for the sexism.

I can understand that to a degree. Though there are honestly so many other pieces of popular fiction that are so. much. worse in that regard, including pieces of teen fiction. The sheer level of hatred heaped on Twilight is extremely disproportionate.

That said, my initial comment wasn't actually about people hating on Twilight. It's the prerogative of the individual to like or hate a work of fiction. My comment was about people being judgmental jerks towards anyone and everyone who enjoys Twilight.
