I think part of the reason "so much hate and bitching came into the fandom" when the movies were released was people seeing the relationships in Twilight being marketed as romantic and 'the ideal' and reacting in justifiable horror. Books do get a certain amount of publicity and advertising, but it's nothing compared to what a big-budget Hollywood film gets, so more people became aware of the existence of the books. When any book is adapted into a film or tv show, there's a surge of interest in the books, and it's always divided - some people enjoy the books, some people don't. That happened with Twilight, but the people who didn't like the books had some extremely valid points as to why they didn't like it (talking about the 'romance' and the messages the books create, rather than the quality of writing) and at the same time the media was pushing Edward/Bella as some sort of universal OTP, the newest Perfect Pairing. So many people finding a relationship disturbing and unhealthy only to see it being portrayed as positive probably found their breaking point and came online to express their frustrations.
