I felt like Письмо this Статья after Чтение a fellow ex-CAT member's Статья on Twilight haters. I also had a 'talk' with another ex-CAT member.

"4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater или anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer или her fans, and don’t throw nasty или immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”."
~Dearheart link

"And Twi-haters – it’s okay to poke Twilight and be deliciously witty and sarcastic...but don’t get nasty. There is a fine line between criticism and cruelty. Don’t say dumb things like “OMG edwards so gay becuz he sparklz,” “twilight sucks [bleep],” etc. Just don’t. If Ты have something negative to say about Twilight, please put it in a way that isn’t crude, unintelligent или mean-spirited. If Ты don’t want things to get ugly, don’t make them ugly. Comprende?"
~Dearheart link

Lately, I think some of the Twihaters from the CAT spot have gone a little too harsh with the hateful Комментарии about Twilight and some of its fans. I've been told from the beginning that the CAT spot is not a hater spot and I know it was intended to be a spot for people to discuss and give opinions about Twilight.

I think it's rather rude to leave nasty Комментарии at Twipro contents. I don't think it's wrong for a Twifan to post something related to Twilight, whether they are images, videos, links, etc. After all, this spot is for Twifans, Twihaters and Twineutrals alike! And there's no need to give a low rating for a Twipro content. I understand if one gives a Twipro content a low rating because it is miscategorized/inappropriate или its lack of keywords. But giving a Twipro content a low rating because Ты personally dislike/hate Twilight is rather mean. Leaving a hateful Комментарий towards the Twifan who Опубликовано the Twipro contents here is even worse.

Some of the contents at the CAT spot also have been a little too harsh lately. I find most of it really amusing but some of it are a little too harsh, especially some of those from the TwilightSucks website. Please медведь in mind that not all the members here are Twihaters.

I think that there's no need to hate someone just because he/she likes Twilight. 'To each, his/her own.' Please do not assume that Twifans are mindless, uneducated people, who just go about screaming "EDWARD CuLLen IssSSS Aaa HOOOTTTtttty!11!!!" или that we have no life. There are Twifans out there to who have mixed feelings about Twilight too. We know that Twilight has its flaws but each of us have a personal reason for liking Twilight. So, please do not assume that we like Twilight just because Twilight is the 'in' thing или because Jacob/Edward is hot. Plus, don't forget that we, Twifans have feelings too.

However, it's not wrong for anyone to Показать their dislike for Twilight. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Respect is to be earned and I'm sure most will find it hard too respect one who uses foul/curse words to describe their hate for their dislikes. I've already seen a few cases[thankfully, very, very few cases] where someone cusses about Twilight, which I think is totally unnecessary. If Ты want to blurt out/express your negative feelings on Twilight, there's no need for the usage of foul language. Just give a polite and truthful Комментарий или just use sarcasm. I fact, I think sarcasm is better than cussing.

"1) Bring a good sense of humor. Don’t ever take things personally, and try not to be too sensitive. Otherwise you’ll be miserable. Just
let loose, have fun, and be willing to laugh.

2) If someone offends you, don’t blow up. Respond in a polite, mature way, point out what offended Ты and why Ты find it offensive. If it’s something serious или happens to be one of the things forbidden in Rule 5, chances are people will back Ты up and the problem will work out. If it isn’t, reread Rule 1. "
~Dearheart link

So, this is my Совет to Twifans who are also members of the CAT spot, who are unhappy with some of the CAT contents. If Ты come across any really nasty Комментарии или contents about Twilight или about you, just ignore или laugh them off. Like what Dearheart mentioned, don't take things too personally. Don't let them bother you. If Ты want to give a comment/reply, give a respectful или a witty one, as long as it's mature.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE: (UPDATED!) I am a Twifan, as well as a CAT fan. I'm not trying to be a goody two-shoes, I'm just giving my opinion about the feelings that some Twifans of the CAT spot have about some of the insults being thrown at us. If I have offended anyone, I do apologize as I did not intend to offend anyone.

Well, I'm a Twilight fan, but I like to be critical of the series anyways. But recently, I discovered that a lot of the Twi-hater fanbase (or hatebase?) has been consisted of mostly people who have only seen the movies, and I instantly saw how there were so many Twi-haters.

Let me just start off by saying that the movie sucks a**, and I'm being NICE! The Актёрское искусство is terrible, they cut out about half the book and completely interpreted the book in all the wrong ways, the script sounded like it had been written by a five год old, and the actors portrayed the characters so poorly, I almost became...

If Ты have ever doubted the insanity of the C.A.T. Kittens, this will cease your doubts. I think it got long enough to be put into Статья Форум thread. This makes absolutely no sense, does have swearwords, includes lots exremely odd things, and is kind of innapropriate. You've been warned.

One день Bella fell over while being chased by Steve the Spider, while Edward and Jacob were kissing. Pausing every once in a while to get a dazzling breath when Alice walked in on them and сказал(-а) - "Edward, what are Ты doing? Ты know Bella is over there. Wait...you're GAY?"

I Опубликовано this a couple other spots, but I would really like to know anti-twilight/neutral Фаны opinions. I sort of ranted on the subject, but I think my intent is pretty clear. I'd Любовь to read Комментарии if Ты have any, или Ты can just skip this Статья :)

This is sort of an informal rant/observation.

We all know that New Moon is about tragedy and the loss of Любовь and the aftermath. Edward left Bella. But why did he leave her?

Since New Moon is being adapted into a feature length film, I've been seeing alot of Вопросы and accusations reguarding Edward's absense.

Examples:
- Jacob's better...

Hey ya kittens! I was wondering in how many words could I write Twilight giving the same character development as Meyer and saying obviously the main plot so don’t bash…I had a lot of fun doing it XDD It’s not to offend anyone but think about it trees could have been saved if Meyer had stuck with this version.

So on with reading

Hello, Котята and newcomers to the CAT! Don’t worry, none of Ты are in trouble или anything; I just feel that things have gotten a teensy bit out of hand, so I’m Письмо this as a reminder to all of Ты before it gets worse.

Newcomers, if Ты haven’t already, link It’s very important that people follow them so that we can keep this spot from turning ugly.

For those of Ты who’ve already read them, let’s review Rule 5:

I don't like Twilight. I find the characters shallow; the plot boring and cliche; and the hidden messages frightening. But in the hands of another Автор - someone who wouldn't let their religious upbringing, their misogynistic views, and their twisted romantic ideals colour the story - it could have been really fantastic.

First off, the grammar would have to be fixed. The purple prose minimised and the в общем и целом, общая Письмо polished up.

Next the characters would have to be made realistic, their actions have an effect on the plot, and their history an effect on them.

Take Rosalie, for example. If Rosalie's...

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, Lauren. She's the blond girl in twilight. The one tricked by a modeling scam, the one that hates Bella. We first meet Lauren in the cafeteria, I believe. Almost all Twilight Фаны do not like her. I mean no disrespect to the ones on this spot или any others, but I do not think she has a reason to be hated. Reasons people give for hating Lauren are similar to the reasons for hating Jessica. "She's rude", "She's mean to bella and stupid", even "she's blond." That last one made no sense to me. The reason Lauren "hates" Bella is because her crush, Tyler, is infatuated with...

There are some core things about the mythical creatures I wish Meyer would have дана an actual explaination for:

Vampires

1. Turning into bats

She could have explained it as bats are attracted to vampires, but she choose not to adress it at all.

2. Sleeping in a coffin

How about that having something to do with them faking their own death или something?

3. Lack of Fangs

An evolution over time to adapt.

4. Sunlight

Related to the fact Вампиры are considered to be connected to the devil.

Werewolves

1. Full-Moon

They meet at the full-moon.

2. Their Anger Issues (yes, I know that some of the Волки have this)

It could have been explained as a reaction to the moons phases.

3. Pack- Mind

Evolved trait или even a gift from the spirits.

I'm so glad to have found a spot that isn't full of people gushing over how hot Robert Pattinson is. Since the movie came out, the original idea of the series has deteriorated.

I used to feel proud to call myself a 'Twilight' fan. I first read it in 2005, and to be quite honest I loved how nobody had read it, it seemed really special. So called 'Fans' who now go around using the word 'Twilighter' just because they have seen the film have ruined it for everyone else.

Fair enough, it's nobodies fault it has been made into an overated hyped movie, but if they really understood what it meant before...

Despite whatever impressions Ты may have garnered from the Название of this article, this is not about glorifying Twilight over His Dark Materials. It's about scolding the movie industry for giving New moon the green light while simultaneously giving The Subtle Knife the red light.

I know that Hollywood is a business, just as book selling is a buisness, above all else. The only time films are made for the sake of making films anymore is if they're independent. I admit that the occasional brilliantly artistic film makes it into the mainstream, and when it does, it's often recognized and lauded....

I've talked about some of the things that crossed my mind when Чтение Twilight in the past. Thoughts such as "when is Bella going to freak out about the Edward watching her sleep thing?" "Did that say sparkling? I've re-read that passage like, four times and it still seems to say sparkling" "Does Stephanie Meyer think deer is a vegetable? no, really does she? Does she think Ты can call yourself a vegetarian if Ты don't eat things like people или those monkeys who know sign language?"
But those are valid thoughts that many people Чтение the Книги also thought (well, maybe not specifically...

*I'll have mentions to actual Волколаки stories in here, so be ready for that

Even before Jacob and palls were called 'shapeshifters' (I'll get back to Ты on that, I am not letting go), we should have known they couldn't be. And here's why.

First off: the origin или werewolves.

In the год 60, 70 people started believing in werewolf lore. The oldest myth I know about this is Ancient Greek, Lycaon.

Lycaon invited the king-god Zeus to dinner, but he was unsure if it really was him, so he decided to serve Zeus human meat. Turns out, it was Zeus. And Zeus was ticked. So he killed Lycaon' 50 sons...

I dislike the books, but after seeing image after image labeled "Twilight sucks", as well as Комментарий after Комментарий with the words, I'm beginning to see why we can be accused of being "haters."

"Sucks" is not a swear word. To say something sucks is not going to send Ты to hell. But it is derogatory, and immature, and does not lead to any real discussion. Well, unless some mature Twilighter comes along and say, "I see that Ты think Twlight sucks. Why?" That might spark discussion. But the twilighter has the upperground in that debate, considering the anti has already shown her immaturity by...
