"If younger generations are willing to be this violent towards one another over fictional characters...what will they be like in...everyday adult life?"

This is going on already as more and more shocking acts of violence are at everyones doorstep! Shootings over PS3's! Many acting out when they are killed in online gaming kill others in reality! Im mean come on, a monkey on the loose kills an innocent bystyander? WTT!! (What the Truck!??!!)

It sounds like these Twihards or Twitards as I perfer to call them need some serious therapy. I can see feeling hurt or yelling at someone to shut up, but physical violence?? Even joking about it not cool. Everyone should be allowed their opinions, but I have noticed that this particular group of teens have no tolerance for anyone who does not share their love for Twilight.
Thank the heavens my daughter is not one of them! She loves Twilight as do most of her friends, but she has one close friend who absolutely hates Twilight. So what does my kid do? She made that friend a shirt for her birthday that said "Official Twilight Hater", which her friend loved.

That acid story is a work of fiction so poorly written, it almost competes for the novels' level of badness. The attacks are still disturbing, to say the least; especially the riot that ensued when Pattinson was signing autographs at a Hot Topic last year. You have to be dumber than a box of rocks to enjoy those stories though, and I guess it takes a certain level of idiocy to debate it's literary merit with violence instead of rational debate.

"Die already"

My response to anything Twilight based. Sorry but glittering Vampires that run around in the day light are a joke.

I loved vampires, but this series ruins everything I liked. Vampires were created as a myth, which the author doesnt even regognise. She sees the film in her own vision and doesn't care what historic visions have to say about it. My younger brother is a fan of the series and we gert into heated debates about it (mainly because I stay with the Anne Rice novels) ans he goes along on the twilight bandwagon. Meyer thought that she could just rewrite a historical myth. Well next time Meyer can just as well rewrite all of the Roman myths and see how well that goes over. Disney already did that, why not she be next? Also, being in high school I have seen fights ensue over this series and its just sick.

I think the "vampires" in Twilight actually have more things in common with elves.

Hey perhaps somehow a little off-topic, but if you want to see a really good Vampire movie - not to say a fantastic, brilliant one- forget Twilight and watch 'Let The Right One In', directed by Thomas Alfredson. It is also an adaptation (of what I heard a really good novel with the same name, written by Ajvide Lindqvistwith who did also write the screenplay for the film), but with so much more depth, heart and soul than Twilight will ever (ever) have. (Meaning the movie here, don't know about the series.) Give it a chance, you won't regret it!

And if you decide to see it (Well I hope you will :-) ) and live in the US, here's a tip: Magnolia released this film short time ago in America on DVD/Blu-Ray, but sadly with mutilated English subtitles. So for watching the best version of the film here, you'll have to wait till they re-release it with the proper 'theatrical' version of the subtitles.(It's a Swedish film. You could of course also just see it with the English dubbed voices, but I read comments that the speakers didn't perform too well here. (But the text seems to be at least from the better subs.) And hey, I'd say watching foreign films in their original language with subs usually creates a much better experience than the English dubbed versions.) They didn't tell by now when they will do realease the proper ones - but they better do that soon, many fans want to see this movie. (And many are ***ed that Magnolia didn't manage to deliver the proper subs...)

Well, so much to Twilight... ;-)

I think we're only just talking about the most extreme cases here, and it seems like these Twihards are more the exception than the norm, like how not all Christians think that Jesus created evolutionists to determine the believers from the non-believers. Lets hope so at least, and not the alternate theory that they will rise up in an army, creating a sort of martial law that requires all anemic men to wear glitter all day long.

Let it be known that I, Yaanu, am pretty sure that I was the first person to create an Anti-Twilight Facebook group. We somehow ended up becoming the third-or-so largest anti-Twilight group. I dunno.

I went on this website from a person talking about twihards hurting anti-twilighters.I am a Twilight fan,just I'm not psychotic about it.I am appalled that people would actually hurt others for not liking Twilight.I USED to think that Twilight wasn't a big deal and I was tryin to figure out what all the fuss was about.So I go to my friends house one day and watch the movie.It takes me all of 2 seconds to fall in love with Twilight.I don't really care if other people aren't like that.If you like it yourself,that should be all that matters right?of course i do get a little mad when people diss Twilight but I'm not gonna hurt somebody like that.I don't even know if this is true that people actually would hurt antis but I'm sorry if that happened to you.But I do see why they defend Twilight.I mean would you just sit there and take it if something or someone you loved was being dissed?Probably not.
