Why do a lot of men hate Twilight so passionately?

That pretty much sums it up They're hive minds. They like to pick on things other people pick on.

I was incredibly bored with Harry Potter, Buffy, Teletubbies and all that crap, but hey, I'm not exactly the target audience either...

You seem a bit dismissive on this...if there were an equal and opposite reaction where men were, say, openly drooling (to the point of creating signs advertising their advanced age) over someone like Hermoine Granger from Harry Potter, would you not feel that it's going a bit far?

Note: I don't particularly find Rule 34 to be an equal reaction as I described above.

Vampires shouldn't sparkle... 'nuff said.

It is a chick flick.

I think the whole Twilight phenomenon was manufactured to either be strongly loved or strongly hated. Same with Beiber and many other examples.
This way when people talk about it they do so passionately and it slowly starts to take up more and more of people's thoughts.

=Profit!

As I pointed out already, older men mooning after younger women is not thought of twice, as evidenced by the demographics of billions of dollars worth of porn annually- which is on a level of sexualization Twilight can't remotely compare to. The vast majority of marriages are between an older man and a younger woman. So men openly drooling over Emma Watson? She's 20. I can find men openly-drooling over 15 year olds in comments all over the internet.

It's only when the reverse happens that some people seem to get upset.

What, an opportunity to bash Twilight and my instant messenger and my Ban the Twilight website membership didn't send me an email notification calling for mass trolling on all forums. Geeze, you'd think I wouldn't have missed this one. JK

lol who's in your pic. Looks like he's squinting.

The internet isn't holding up posters in real life advertising those thoughts.

I agree. If a man does exactly what those women were doing, people would be disgusted and call him a pervert.

When a woman does it? Totally acceptable.

Speaking of brutally murdering Justin Bieber:

I really, really like that clip.

What cracks me up the most is when that guy is checking whether he's dead for good or still alive.

I can't stand it but feel no need to piss on anybody's parade.

I never saw that MCalavera, thanks for posting

I'm not a man, and I don't hate Twilight passionately, but I do dislike it intensely.


Firstly, it's based on a series of children's books. I may be a prude, but I don't think children should be exposed to that level of sexuality.

Secondly, it has no wit or heart, unlike Buffy/The Lost Boys

Thirdly, it has no class or style, unlike Blade/Let the Right One In

Fourthly, vampires, if not witty or classy, should at least be scary, like 30 Days of Night/Salem's Lot

And if they can't manage any of the above, then vampire films should at least have some eye candy, like Underworld/From Dusk Till Dawn



However I don't generally troll websites with my opinions, I'm sure Twilight fans would think my taste is pretty poor at times too!
