Jed–Within five to seven years they will have faded from the pop culture memory and be a fringe thing for hard-core fans only, as the bulk of the target audience will have moved on to the next big thing. Teen girls are a very fickle audience.

I read the first two books in a weekend while I was travelling. It’s an instant conversation started with like 95% of straight girls age 12-49. Max, become what yo u despise and READ THE BOOKS. There is power and strength. If you really want to fuck with Twilight fans, you don’t complain about sparkles or fangs: they identify with Bella, and Bella is without question the most irritating literary creation of the 21st century. You want your cake and eat it? “yeah, I’ve read ‘em. I like it. But I can’t fathom what he sees in her.”

Dorian! You’re out of your mind if you thing these books are going away. Sparkles is to straight girls what Felica there is to fanboys.

So, basically, Max…”We see ourselves reflected in them…and we are ashamed”? :)

I don’t go on rants in real life, that would be unwieldy and excessive. I only rant on the internet behind a thin veil of anonymity. Yes, I know they’re pretty much nerds like me with a different vice. But I hate nerds of my own variety too when they get overblown, so there’s that. In any case, I think it might just be the vocal nature of Twilight fandom and the tendency for them to skew younger, which adds to the shrillness factor. But in any case, I’ll adjust. It’s just hard to see your own behavior thrown back at you (albeit by a bizarro version of myself, truthfully).

This might not have been the best thing for a first comment… but yeah. I enjoy the site either way.

Dorian, this is totally different than, say, holding a grudge against Rob Liefeld for a comic he did fifteen years ago, I mean, Twilight fans are weird and obsessive! ;)

Max–Grow the fuck up. For one thing, Comic-con stopped being about comics years ago. And for another the “ravenous fangirls” are no different than nerds getting bent out of shape because of the latest comic book cross-over. Their stupid obsession is just different from yours.

Also, here’s a bonus hint: maybe you wouldn’t have daily arguments with crazed TWILIGHT fans if you didn’t go off on venomous rants about a fucking book and movie that will be forgotten in a couple of years. Learn to pick your fights, dude.

You know what? I go to high school every day with hundreds of vampire-crazy, hormonal, and generally psychotic girls. The average school day doesn’t happen without an argument about that sparkly motherfucker versus that werewolf asshole. And GOD FORBID you insult the series or so much as disagree with ANY ONE OF THEM. So you know what? It’s not about having chocolate in my peanut butter, it’s about having RAVENOUS FANGIRLS YELLING AT ME BECAUSE I DON’T LOVE THE CHOCOLATE. I want my Comic-con to be about comics, and I don’t want to see fifty more fucking JACOB EDWARD OMG shirts every direction I look. So excuse me for being fed up.

Why is Wendy flashing the devil horns and Hot Stuff isn’t?

Casper himself doesn’t look too rasta-fied-by-30-percent. Wendy, on the other hand…

You forgot to add the kind of people, that pass the time by talking about how cool a shirt would be that had Spike and Angel beating up Edward. Oh and calling him gay as they beat him up. Because those people are as great of a piece a work.
