Critical Analysis of Twilight Swali

Anti's: What did Twilight do to You?

For me:

1.) Make me dislike my birthstone, the topaz, because of numerous descriptions of Edward's "liquid, topaz eyes".

2.) Destroyed Hot Topic with it's existance.

3.) Adds to the stereotype that girls under 17 will eat crap like this up.

4.) Turned most of the strong women in my family into giggling, airheaded fangirls.

5.) Made me cringe at the names Edward, Bella, Jacob, etc. (Whose names I liked before the Twilight craze...)

6.) I can never see the word Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon and Dawn the same way again.

7.) It lowered fanfiction even lower.

and most importantly

8.) Made me lose faith in humanity.

What has it done to you?

Look guys, I don't like Twilight, but you're being ridiculous. It never "destroyed" any of you. You're still alive and here, aren't you?

This is about how it affected our lives, not how it destroyed it. I was inspired kwa the common Twi-hard defense of "It's just a book, get over it" and "If wewe don't like it then don't read it/look it up".

1. Lowered the level of influence that heroines should be credited with. The character of Bella and the point-of-view that the book was written in made it seem like the abuse that Edward was inflicting upon her was because he 'loved' her.
What is this? What sane man watches a woman sleep without her knowledge? And when she found this out, what did she do? She ooed and awwed at how much he loved her.

2. Lowered the English proficiency rate kwa 10%. It's called grammar Meyer, look it the fuck up.

3. Made me upendo Harry Potter even more. I thank wewe for that.

4. Made me upendo being a strong woman who does not need a man just to feel sane. [what a message wewe are giving impressionable young adults, Meyer]

1.The other stereotype that wewe have no taste if wewe dont find Robert au Taylor attractive. Ahh There are billions of famous men.

2. Bella makes us look like Mary Sues who will fall for any guy, and who cant survive without one. Im not a feminist, but come on! Disney Princesses have zaidi attitude than her.

3. I now have to explain that I like traditional vampires. Instead of just saying vampires. Because people think they are sparkly sex symbols-WTF???

4.Yeah..I upendo the name Bella, but if I have a daughter her name will be BELLATRIX now, not just Bella.

5. The stupid media keeps trying to replace a classic like Harry Potter with this garbage

6. It DID take over alot of My local Hot Topic BUT most of the shit went to Clearance nobody bought all that crap.

7. I cant look at Cedric the same way. I now want Voldemort to kill him in Goblet of Fire.

8.They other sad insult to literature that people think Twilight is like Romeo and Juliet-EXCUSE ME? Shakespeare Meyer is NOT. She wouldnt amount to his pinkie finger.

9.The constant overexposure on magazines when I want to read one, au tv interviews. Ick.

10.Made me vow, never to endorse anything Twilight in any way, shape au Form. NO WAY NO HOW.

Okay, so I was in the school foyer, waiting to be let into the maktaba with the rest of my class, when I saw a little Twilight tribute. It had some info on the author, and some stuff about the characters and plotline, dished out with some apples and ribbons.

So, I turned to my friend inayofuata to me, Shanice, and alisema 'Oh god! It's TOO SPARKLY!' and pretended to be 'blinded kwa the light'.

Then I got looked at kwa Twi-hards with mouths agape, before they all started yelling at me and attempting to beat the snot out of me.

It also made me hate my generation... We are known as the Generation who actually LIKES sparkly vampires. If I want something cool, hard as granite, and sparkly, I could just stare at my jikoni bench.

Also... Mary-Sues. I HATE Mary-Sues. And Bella is a Mary-Sue. Hur hur...

I can no longer say the words 'Lunar Eclipse' or, 'At twilight' without being stared at kwa giggling, airhead fangirls.

1. Made my friend go insane
2. Made me and that same friend have a bunch of arguments
3. Everytime I go to Netflix to get a vampire movie, they recoment Twilight.
4. Made me dislike hot topic.
5. Destroyed femininity.
6. Also destroyed the meaning of a strong relationship to a strong, abusive man and a weak girl who ngets no say.
7. Every time there's a new moon, I can't go without hearing at least 1 fangirl giggle/squeal.

True story: My guy friend likes this girl, and she is a HUGE shabiki of Twilight. Her current boyfriend is abusive, and turned her into a little weakling. She isn't complaining, because apparently, that's what Edward would do. So my friend reported the boyfriend to the school counsler, and we're waiting to see what happens.

tdafan121 said:
1) Turned most of my old Marafiki insane and braindead and forced me to find a new mduara, duara of friends.
2) Destroyed the local Hot Topic.
3) Caused me to want to be a writer so that Twilight will become old news and nothing compared to my awesomeness.
4) Made me write "I hate Twilight" all over everything I own.
5) Made a few teachers concerned about my sanity when I alisema that I hated Twilight.
6) Caused me to have a 10-minute conversation with my school librarian on how horribly written Twilight is.
And now the positives:
7) Made me realize how much it sucked whem my mom wouldn't let me watch the movie until I finished the book. Both were duds.
8) Made me take up kusoma better books. I stared kusoma The Gallagher Academy series and when I finished that, I started kusoma The Hunger Games. Best choice I've ever made.
9) Caused me to start liking Percy Jackson and the Olympians books. I was aliyopewa The Lightning Theif as a present after I saw the movie. I read it and after I found out it was a series, I read the whole series and am currently kusoma The Lost Hero.
10) And finally, It made me interested in the best thing that could've ever entered my life: Total Drama Island. I started watching it after I saw the suckishness that is Twilight to clear my mind of it. I have officially deemed it a cure for Twi-Hard (as well as Bieber Fever) along with MAD.

1) Made me zaidi careful about uandishi ndoto stories, in fear it will end up sounding like Edward
2) Screwed up my liking of the names Jasper and Alice
3) Screwed up my best friend's book she was writing. It was about something meaningful, two kids who were dealing with their parents' separation...now it's about a girl who comes out as a vampire at her school. kwa the way...she's sparkly >.>
4) Redefined the meaning of "Mary-Sue"
5) Made me seriously dislike using the word "twilight," when it used to be my absolute fav-or-ite word to use T.T
6) Gave my friend depression
7) Made my other friend think she was a vampire for our entire seventh grade year...she tried to kill herself because of it...o.e
8) Made me choose a freakin' team (Tyler's van FTW)
9) Makes me cringe every time I drop an apple
10) Makes me feel like that accursed Mary-Sue every time I trip down the stairs
11) Makes me upendo Cats even more
12) Made me into a Jacob fangirl for a week and made me write a stupidly OOC fanfiction of me and him (bolded because I'm uchungu, chungu about this)
13) Destroyed my mother's taste in vitabu (She literally alisema it was the greatest series she had ever read in the history of literature)
14) Turned my other friend into a Twilight-Hating emo with serious issues against any mention of Wanyonya damu (this is the friend who thought she was a vampire in the seventh grade)
~and, finally...~
15) Made me start listening to Paramore and Muse (one of the few good things that came out of the movie...>.>)

Made me really angry about how it ruined the vampire stereotype.
Made me appreciate better books, though. I finally read The String of Pearls (the real Sweeney Todd novel) which is adapted from a Victorian penny dreadful. Now I'm imagining Twilight as a penny dreadful, only it would probably be called a Free-Because-Nobody-Would-Pay-For-It Atrocious-and-Disgraceful, if Twilight was in one.
It did make me upendo Harry Potter a lot zaidi though, which I didn't think was possible. And I've decided that if I HAD to narrow it down between Team Edward and Team Jacob, I would be...Team Snape.

Hahahaha, my mom won't even try the books. She read the back of the book(the little preview thing) and put it down, turned around and walked right out of the store leaving me standing there. The cashier looked at me with a confused look on her face. She looked at the vitabu and a look of understanding crossed her face.

Positive
1. Brought me closer to my upendo of Harry Potter
2. Brought me closer with my boyfriend.
3. Gave me self esteem with my writing, because if that could get published, anything can.
4. Gave me the nickname Hermione, because if they didn't say Twilight was the new Harry Potter, I wouldn't be so obsessed with Harry Potter.

Negative
1. People now think of "sparkling" vampires.
2. Lost me quite a few friends.
3. Made most of the "popular let's dip our faces in orange" girls in my class turn on me.
4. Put stupid posters of guys with their shirts off in shops.
5. Made me realise how air-headed and boy-crazed girls can be to be oblivious of the fact that there's no story besides "the pretty people were happy and the bad people died."

Did anyone ever READ the actual book? Not descriptions of it, not reviews, but the actusl book.

First of all, I did READ Twilight. I read the first novel from the beginning till the very end and found it very badly written. I was like: "How could that get published?!! And what is so special about it that everyone is SO crazy over this book?" I read the rest of the series, though I admit I skipped pages, because kusoma this was very painful, Twilight suffers from the lack of plot, it is annoyingly repetive and dialogs are beyond unrealistic. But that's me and I respect everyone's opinion. All of my Marafiki are Twilight mashabiki and it's not a problem for us.

What Twilight did to me?

Absolutely nothing. I just wasted my time on it, nothing more.

And I hope my answer didn't offend you. :] I have Marafiki that absolutely hate vampires, but they don't hate Twilight, they just don't get how everyone is crazy about it. I guess it's for the same reasons that some people eat meat and sme people don't. We're all ust born with different interests. :]
