xD This random idea came to me in the shower, which seems to be some kind of generator of ideas...
So, let's see if we can find... ONE HUNDRED reasons to hate the Twilight "saga". It can be anything in or related to any of the books, or Stephenie Meyer. Details or plot points that make you rage with the stupidity, horribly written sentences/thesaurus abuse, a whole character, just... anything. It doesn't matter if you post repeats, re-word, or mis-number stuff, we can sort that out later. xD Just list as many things as you can. Venting is fun, isn't it?
Then we can throw it at fangirls later. xD
I'll start us off.
1. Bella is an annoying, bratty, whiny Mary Sue. Even some Twilight fans agree with this.
2. Edward and Bella's relationship is abusive.
3. Clumsiness is not a valid character flaw, contrary to what Bella defenders may think...
4. Sparkling vampires. I mean, come on. SPARKLING?
5. Bella is a self insert. A really badly hidden one.
6. According to Meyer, it took six months from beginning to end to come up with the story, write it, edit it, and send it off to print. This would be an amazing feat... if the writing didn't suck so much.
7. The majority of Twilight fans actually could not predict that Bella would end up with Edward in the end. I probably could have told you that before the sequels were even written.
8. Two words: purple prose.

Here are some more. This is all I have for now.
9. The fight with James and Edward was horrible.
10. Edward is an angsty Gary Stu.
11. Ripping off Romeo and Juliet.
12. They spend about five minutes in the movie with Edward saying, I could hurt you, Bella counters with, I trust you.
13. Bad dialogue.
14. Bella trust Edward way too much.
15. Edward doesn't trust his own strength.
16. In a sense, Edward is afraid of himself.

17. Overuse of the word "chagrin".
18. The scene in the movie where Edward was sucking the venom out of Bella. Carlisle was like, "Edward. Stop. You're killing her," in a completely monotonous way. He might as well as poked Edward with a smile and said, "Ummm, Edward? I think you may be killing her, so stop being vicious."
19. The fans literally physically assault Twilight haters. Why is this necessary? I've never seen a Harry Potter fan bash a non-Potter fan. They're just like, "whatever. Hate it."
20. The fact that Edward got Bella pregnant. Where's the sperm?

22. Most of the movie's soundtrack was lame (for me, anyway) and they disgraced Clair de Lune!!
23. Bella and Edward's relationship is just a physical attraction.
24. Twilight is just an annoying lil sib compared to Harry Potter (actually, compared to anything).

31. Friends of the Cullens are "good" vampires. Non-friends are "bad" vampires. Um?
32. Constant description of Edward's supposed flawlessness. Perfect! Flawless! Godlike! Seraphic! Ugh...
33. Bella is described as "plain," but somehow manages to attract the attention of a whole bunch of people on her first day of school.
34. Believers in abstinence until marriage seem to like the "morals" that Eddie's 104 years of virginity bring to the book. Nevermind that Bella gets pregnant at 18. By having sex with a guy that's like 90-something years older than her.
35. Poor Mike. Shafted because he wasn't as pretty as Edward...
36. The funniest part about comparing Edward and Bella to Romeo and Juliet is that Romeo and Juliet's relationship was similarly shallow and based on the fact that each thought the other was nice to look at. The big difference is that Romeo and Juliet died, which is probably how Twilight should have ended. Or started. (Oh, plus Shakespeare added actual conflict and plot and stuff. I tell ya, the man was a genius.)
37. Renesmee. Her name, WTF? Her birth, WTF? Jacob goes ***** for her... WTF?!?!
38. It's impossible to explain to the fans why Twilight is poorly written. They'll retaliate with things like, "Everything's spelled correctly, editors take care of that" and blah blah blah. No, no, that's not what it means...
39. Stephenie's writing style is the literary equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
40. If you ever say you don't like Twilight in front of a fan, you will get the most sickeningly whiny, "But WHY???" series of questions from them. And 90% of the time, they won't like your answer and will call you stupid for having an opinion.

Holy Tic Tac 33. Bella is described as "plain," but somehow manages to attract the attention of a whole bunch of people on her first day of school.
Actually, Bella thinks she is average. The truth is she is 'beautiful' in the eyes of every guy in the school. (I only know this because I had this argument with a Twilight fan, and she proved me wrong.)

65. The character motivation changes halfway through the book for no reason.
66. It confuses already literature-deprived teenagers about the difference between good writing and word vomit.
67. Mixed messages: "Don't have sex until you're married" and "You don't have to love each other, just smell good."
68. Meyer needs to have her thesaurus revoked. And burned.

69. It was meant for adults, yet the main character is a young adult, or at least she should be.
