Okay, I'm going to attempt to knock you off your high horse for this one, in a quote by quote analysis.

I don't think you are. Why?
Because you want to discredit our opinion by making us look like strawmen. But that's fine, bish, I got somethin' for you. too.

Because, you people spend SO much time talking about Twilight, reading about Twilight, and watching the movies. If you guys REALLY hated Twilight as much as you scream you do, wouldn't you stay AWAY from all things Twilight? I mean, when you read things about Twilight, when you watch the movies, and when you buy the various guides and extra stuff all your doing is SUPPORTING TWILIGHT!
The reason why I read the books and watched the movies was so I could make my own, informed decision about them. I'd heard things both good and bad about the series, so I decided on a whim to read them for kicks. I disliked them pure and simple, because in my opinion Twilight is just not a good series, so I wanted to discuss it so I could share that opinion with others, and maybe talk about stuff I actually like about the books too. Don't confuse discussion for support.

I mean I LOVE Twilight, but I don't even spend THAT much time and money with all things Twilight.
I didn't spend more than $19 max on one book, Twilight. I borrowed the rest of the books so I could read them all because I have an obsession with completely reading the books in a series, and the two movies I'd seen (Twilight and Eclipse) were provided courtesy of other people, such as a bootlegged copy of Eclipse a friend loaned me. Also, I don't really spend all that much time discussing Twilight. I come to the forums to discuss it when I feel like doing so, because it's something I have a right to talk about when I decide I want to.

Indie music is the ONLY thing I would go that far for; because I love it.
And you guys go THAT far for all things Twilight; because you love it?
Like I said before, don't confuse discussion for support or love.

For example, I hate Harry Potter, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Country Music, and cheese.
Them's fightin' words, little miss. Nobody but nobody ain't gonna talk trash about Harry Potter, Taylor Swift, country music, and cheese while I'm sheriff in this little ol' one horse town.
-X-Scarlett-Rapture-X-
I would never listen something Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift related, I would NEVER watch a Harry Potter movie or try to read one of the books again. I would rather die than listen to country music. and I will never eat something that is strictly cheese.
THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS, I SAY. That's it! Showdown in the main street, at sunset, yah dirty cow-tippin' cur. Be thar, or be square.
-X-Scarlett-Rapture-X-
Because not only do I hate those things, but buying a Lady Gaga song, buying Taylor Swifts perfume, watching Harry Potters movies, listening to a country music station and eating macaroni and cheese is only supporting them.
Hence the reason why people who like those things generally tend to buy them.

So, my question is, why would you ever invest so much time into something that you hate so much? Wouldn't that only make your life miserable? Then again, that explains why you people always seem so upset.
We're upset and miserable because ignoramuses like you come around and insinuate our discussion means we support Twilight, with logic in hand that would make Batman blush in shame at how far one must leap to make the otherwise nonexistent connections. The reason why we invest "so much time", as you put it, is because it's a subject we've decided we want to talk about, and not just to rag on the books.
