More Twilight ranting
Someone please explain to me how Twilight is anything special. Someone PLEASE explain to me how it's doing anything new and ground breaking in the realm of vampire fiction. PLEASE PLEASE tell me how it's not a complete and utter rip of of everything that's already been done in vampire fiction and in vampire roleplaying games. In my opinion for me it's very: "been there, done that, got the t-shirt". So what I can't understand is how it's getting droves and droves of fans.
The other thing that pisses me off is now vampires are the "in" thing. I'm very possessive as it's always been one of my things (one of my geekdoms if you could call it that), something outside the mainstream that I always knew was cool and interesting, and now all these stupid teeny boppers, soccer moms, and people I just wouldn't want to be associated with are now taking interest in something that was generally the spehere of people with....well....I'd say darker personalities. Few people even understand the nuances of what vampirism is supposed to represent historically from a fiction perspective, so they're just looking at these books and movies as something "hot" and marketable. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!
