With the popularity of Twilight, fans are dominating every event wherever it is featured. In fact, for the two years running, Twilight fans have made the films and the cast a must-see at the San Diego Comic Con – much to the annoyance of fan boys, who have dominated the event for years. In fact, some of them have voiced out their dislike of the series and some of them have even made a Twilight Hate Community.

In an article by BlogCritics, author Jennifer Williams tackles this hate directed towards the books and its fans. Why such hate for Twilight? Jennifer send out some questionnaires to the haters as well as fans to gauge their thoughts and opinions regarding the series. Here is an excerpt of her article:

And over the last several months I have observed a steadily growing trend; hatred of the series and its fans, and while I can certainly understand a strong dislike of a book, or a film, or a particular musician, the absolute vehemence that some people have expressed towards the fans ofTwilight perplexed me. Sure, some of the fans are extreme. For example, the woman who asked actor Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black (the ‘werewolf’), if he would sign her underwearwhile she was wearing them, and the girls who have approached Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen (the vampire), with cuts on their necks asking him to bite them. But every large fandom has its zealots such asStar Trek fans who legally changed their names to those of the characters and/or wear Starfleet uniforms in their every day life.

As I became more aware of all the negative commentary about the series and its fans, I decided that I wanted to know why. I wanted to understand where these people were coming from and what their arguments against the series were. The media is absolutely drenched in all thingsTwilight, but most of the negative press comes from either film reviews, or articles expressing concern over the messages young girls might be receiving from the books. There are blog posts and Youtube videos in which people voice their hatred of the series, but a single person’s opinion is easy to ignore and chalk up to bias.
