7 Threatened Fanboy Responses to New Moon
4. "$140 million worth of moviegoers were seduced by the regressive, socially-damaging and all-around shameful The Twilight Saga: New Moon...Worth noting is that the opener is more than TWICE that of Twilight's mammoth first weekend, which means that, somehow, despite word getting out that these were seriously dangerous, creatively bankrupt and socially inhuman books and movies, the base expanded."
Gabe Toro, The Playlist
5. "I should also take the opportunity to admit here that I've never read a single one of the books in the series written by Stephanie Meyer; the closest I ever got was paging through and reading select passages from the first novel that had mysteriously beckoned to me from a characteristically gargantuan and assaultive display in the front of a Borders bookstore. I found Meyers' writing to be passable, at best, and at worst comparable to the pandering prose of a dime-store romance novel bearing the image of a rock-hard Fabio clone on the cover. After thumbing through the book for several minutes, I truthfully couldn't stand it anymore and tossed it back, noting in my own head that within the hour it would likely be scooped up by some pimply, braces-wearing seventh grade girl who sadly probably hasn't ever even heard the name Judy Blume."

7. "As I ran out of the theater, with my manhood somewhat intact, NEW MOON's memory was one of an overlong film about not much....Yes when I got home I watched HOURS of lesbian porn to wash the cock heavy butter this flick double dipped in."

Remember, that "New Moon" is a movie. It is for entertainment. It isn't real. Purely fictional...Some people will like it or love it; others will not. Whichever side you're on, this book / movie is still just a made-up story about a bunch of teenagers and a couple who aren't human.
Those obsessed with slagging Twilight are now just as annoying as those obsessed with Twilight. All of them need to STFU.
Sorry, "more accurate representation of a vampire"? We can all agree that these things don't ACTUALLY exist, right?
Here Here! It's all a bit over the top; I have friends on both sides of the fence and it's getting to be some kind of religion 🙁
Let's cut through the bulls**t here: this article is pandering horse-s**t of the worst kind. Fact of the matter is that most of the criticism of the Twilight franchise is legitimate, and the only people ignoring or discoloring that fact probably have something to gain from the continued success of this socially-detrimental tripe. If you think that Edward Cullen is anything but a humorless, manipulative douche, or that Jacob is somehow to blame for Bella leading him on (which is OBVIOUS), then you probably can't see the forest for the trees when it comes to this series. But the truth is that Twilight as a whole is a misogynist (Unhealthy relationships are glorified throughout), retrograde (Can Bella drive her own damn truck?), and socially-irresponsible mess that too many have bought into, and in doing so have highlighted some of the ugliest aspects of our culture.
This site just lost a ton of credibility with this article...
Damn Ms. Love and Kate back in the day? Insane
