‘Twilight’ hate getting boring?

In recent months, particularly those following the vociferous roar that Twilight fans made in the box office with The Twilight Saga: New Moon, media treatment of Twilight fans has (for the most part) been rather deferential . . . a “well, if you like it, that’s your opinion” attitude has seemingly ingrained itself into the general media consensus on the subject of Twilight.

This, to say the least, has been great.

However, as with a great many things popular, there are still those that simply hate the series for one reason or another.

Most Twilight fans aren’t bothered by the idea of someone not liking the same books or movies that they do. You find anti-feminist undertones in the Saga and want to talk about that? Fine. Not a fan of the actors’ facial expressions? Okay, no problem. The thing that gets most Twilight fans is the idea that some people out there are being spiteful just to be spiteful, not really knowing or caring what or who they’re talking about. The “oh the vampires are sparkly so you all must be unfamiliar with real vampires” diatribe is trite and so is the stereotype that Twilight fans are all young, immature, and illiterate.

What are your thoughts on all of this “twilight hate”?
