Let me see what I gathered from this conversation...
- The Llama is arguing with the Lord
- Buffy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Twilight
- Goat Girl is a bloody idiot
- I'm not British
- ManOf speaks the truth. Those that pick the path of the powerful but squishy player are almighty in the long run. -
Quote:I read the first book. It was horrible.I see.
You know, I'll say what I haven't said on these forums before but I've come to believe is true: By the numbers, the majority of people don't hate Twilight because it's bad; They hate it because the number 1 franchise in America is something marketed to young women. That it's "in" to like cheesy romance and talking about your feelings. The rest came later.
My theory. Now, you know that I Twilight. Viciously. But the things that everybody hates about Twilight is distinctly feminine. The brooding. The emo. The sparkles. These are traditionally girly things. And those are the ones that everyone mentions.
Buffy beats the snot out of vampire mythos something awful. But it does so in favor of grim darkness, an aim at an older audience, fight scenes, and lesbians. Suddenly, no one really minds that one as much.
Yes, I'm playing this card. I've been holding onto it for months.
It's also why I no longer really participate in Twilight Hate-Fests.
Buffy had comedy. Twilight is dead serious. And ridiculous romances that involve vampires.
Buffy's vamp romance was at least mildly realistic. -

I don't care, as long as a Twilight character gets beaten up.
Can we really call them characters? They sound more like Mary Sues. -
Well, the song from You Have to Burn the Rope is playing through my head.
Does that count? -
I said ignore Goat Girl. But not Llama *insert gender here*. He/She is p cool.

I believe that until Goat Girl changes the subject, we should ignore her.

I have a Y chromosome, I don't really care.
Doctor Who. -
I grow tired of this debate.
This discussion is now about Doctor Who. -

TV Tropes.
I thought K-9 was "A Girl's Best Friend"
THUS SPEAKS THE MINISTER. -
I don't make the tropes, I just quote them. FEAR TEH TROPES.

I concur. The cockroach was never here, never wi be here, and isn't here. SO THERE.

Showing and taking pride in one's work are different, Minister.
