This topic has gone way too far!
What is this? An official debate topic?
Do I have to enforce harsher rules?
It's absolutely fabulous that we have several people on this forum who critically analyze the series and jump in to throw their 2 cents on it.
We all should view the books any way we choose to, and we all are entitled to our own opinions.
No one has the right to change that. So no one should be attempting that either.
Some of us really need to keep our advice to ourselves. No one is asking you for an author recommendation, no one asked you to share your favorite authors and no one wants to know if Twilight is "superbly written teen fiction".
Okay, so we all take sides, some lean towards Jacob, and some towards Edward. But, if you think Twilight is awfully written, Stephenie Meyer can't write maturely (I mean, she has written 100,000 books already, so she definitely had the experience and maturity, right? The series was only good enough to be published...that's no problem, any other person can write a vampire love story and get it published nowadays...and if it isn't that easy in some places, you can get a whole quartet published, with an extremely huge fan following, just by sheer luck), yet you still favor one of her characters, something's gotta be very wrong. How can you love a character without liking the way the author writes? How can you even familiarize yourself with the character until you get a gist of their thinking, actions, or dialogues? Unless, it was just the horrible description that made you lust him.
- Next, lust vs. love at first sight. If you haven't experienced it, you don't know if it exists, so it wouldn't right to say it exists right? But then, how is it right to say it doesn't exist? Unless you've been familiar with every single person on Earth and have been alive since the very beginning. If someone believes in love at first sight, that's their opinion right?
- If Twilight was written a long time ago and the author had never gotten much attention then, and Heaven forbid she was dead, we'd all have completely different views of the book, and no one would ever know several things. But if Meyer has clearly stated what the purpose of the plot, the character, and the relationship was, then that's what was meant in the story. But if you still want to behold your opinions, no one has the right to stop you. But you need to watch yourself so you don't offend the fans of the characters with your wording.
- May I get some ample evidence that shows that Jacob didn't lust Bella but Edward did? 😊
- *Spoiler Alert* EB get married in BD, and have a kid. If I'm not mistaken, several fans wanted to know if 1) they will get married b) Bella will become a vampire c) if they'll have a kid d) if charlie will ever find out and e) if jacob will ever come back. Isn't this what the fans wanted? Was I imagining reading all this in BD? 😕 Should the whole book be based on what the fans wanted? Shouldn't the author get a chance to incorporate what he/she wants as well?
- There is just so much more, but honestly, I'm just tired. Because whatever else I say, will be taken in offense by several who are reading this. In fact, everyone going against Twilight and Stephenie will be attempting to throw daggers at me, since I, (and I will admit this) showed my obvious bias towards Twlight, and SM.
I love both Jacob and Edward, as hard as it is to believe. I might lean towards one more than the other, but I don't despise either one. Sure, Jake did some disappointing things, but so did Edward. And the rest of it, well, I'll just say I'm entitled to my own opinion and there is no need for me to explain myself, because what I think shouldn't matter to anyone.
I don't mean to be mean guys, but this kind of stuff really peeves me. Yes, we allow you to show your dislike towards your characters, but there's a limit, and you have crossed it. Admit it or not, you've indirectly bashed Stephenie along with Twilight, and you aren't allowed to do that. Can't find that in the rules or COC? Well, I'll just throw it in then. Because it's obviously required.
I don't see you guys showing up in the forums of saas-bahu serials and bashing the show or it's directors and scriptwriters. Would that be allowed? No. Bashing Twilight is considered the same thing.
From now on, there shouldn't be any bashing of the series, attempts to enforce perspectives on others, and all opinions should be respected.
Anyone not following rules will face a Warning Level raise.
Any questions/concerns/arguements should be PM'ed to me.
