Harry Potter Vs. Twilight Question

Right... coming from a HP fan... aren't we being a little bit hypocritical?

Well we do say "you Twilight fans are so over the top. You keep saying bad things about HP."

When we later say
"Twilight is a horrible book. It has no plot and Stephanie Meyer is a terrible writer."

:/

I just thought we say things like this and it just seems sorta hypocritical and mean. We are rude on Twilight. It's true, even if what we say is sorta true. But there's fact and opinion . For example::

Henry VIII married six times -- Fact
Elizabeth I was a beautiful Queen -- Opinion.

I think we need to not say so many horrible things and just stick to the debating skills. It's what I've been doing recently.

I think Twilight fans are just as guilty as being mean on this site as Harry Potter fans are. But I have yet to encounter a Harry Potter fan who goes so low as to insult the other persons icon because they dont like Twilight. See we may be mean but alot of it is because there are alot of Twilight fans that are very immature. And then in the question area, there have been times when posts from twilight fans have been posted that are unreadable or say things like" who would like harry potter Stephanie Meyer is way better writer than JO Rowling." And when we ask WHY you guys like the series we get the reply " because Edward is hot". I rest my case.

Yes, precisely. But we should not stoop to their level in any case, no matter how much they get on our nerves.

I'm not an Anti, but I am a Harry Potter fan and I'd like to say that I agree with you. I see it all of the time in the spot from both sides. I can't understand why some people think that they are allowed to say something, but when someone says it to them, they get offended and call the person mean. And this spot is supposed to be a debate spot after all, and not a "call the other side the worst names you can while also degrading whatever they are a fan of," which is what this spot seemed to have transformed into.

Actually, there has been HP fans that do give facts when it comes to criticizing Twilight. But I have to admmit that sometimes we get really childish and start saying stuff like "Twilight sucks" without giving any proof on why it does.

I agree 100%.

It's actually one of the things that pisses me off about SOME Twilight haters lately.

I also notice that some Antis throw insults at the fans of Twilight here and there, even though most of them criticize the fans for not respecting their opinions.

I mean, c'mon now!

Anyways, yes, I agree.

I'm absolutely fine with anyone with opinions that are different from mine, and I know a lot of awesome people who dislike Twilight :)

But how about we just cut the insults, and focus and stick to simple debates, like you said? :)

Just because she's addressing a problem with the spot doesn't mean she likes Twilight now. She may, but I'm just saying.

Well i agree that we can be mean sometimes, but the thing is that we say bad things about the books and not to the fans, unlike Twihards that say really mean things to us like "f**k off" or "dig a hole and jump in it" i mean this is a discusion about the books and movies, there´s no need to say that.....

I agree, but we insult the book itself. Never before have I insulted someone simply for liking Twilight, which seems to be what some people do. And yes, I say awful things about Twilight, but I always back them up. I don't say "Twilight sucks, end of story", and honestly, most of the HP fans actually do seem to use reason. It's the ones who don't that make us all look bad. I admit, sometimes I'm bad about it (I lose my temper and get an attitude) too. But I really try to be fair.

Im a HP fan & a Twilight saga fan as well. I agree that sometimes we take it a little bit to fare. But some of us think that's fine. As long as nobody starts crying that peoples arn't being nice. Than I think it's ok.

I think both sides are just as equal at fault. No one wants their book/movie bashed on and so when someone from an apposing team says or goes against their book/movie they attack. It's a cycle actually.

Well, coming from a fan of both, both sides are unforgiving, rude, and sometimes some of the things are just plain mean.I like both, so I don't get into this war.

Why can't both sides just stop and admit that both are a legacy that is amazing and never will we forget either Harry Potter, or Twilight?

Actually, the legacy thing is the biggest debate, in my opinion. Look at how far Harry Potter has come, versus Twilight. Theme park is opening this spring (I want to go SO BAD), and there's even a Harry Potter DAY. Not to mention gross income for each book (and movie).... Sorry, just had to put that out there.

I have to agree with LilRavenclaw95, I don't think Twilight will be AS appreciated by the World than HP. :)

I agree completely. I've been trying to put more friendly stuff on this spot, to try and get everyone to kind of cooperate and enjoy talking to each other. And I've been trying to be nicer, and stop getting into any fights, and stop any that I see. ^^,, I don't know if the fighting will ever stop, but I think we're a work in progress.

I agree, who likes being mean. But if they are going to be rediculous to us- like picking on icons for example, how can you not respond.

MCRTS said:
Well, Harry Potter fans actually jump in the deep end of the lake and read Twilight. Most of us compare Twilight critically, from what we've read in the books. However, SOME (I repeat: SOME) Twilight fans do not read Harry Potter, and they want to compare it base on the little they know. And they would say something like "harry potter sux!!1! its such a boring book! twilight is 1000000000X betta! tiwlight 4eva!11!!" (It's an actual quote too)

i understand, I have a friend who says Twilight is better when she has read the Twilight books but only seen the HP movies.

I think there is really only one major problem on this spot-fans that generalize and jump to conclusions.
One Twilight fan spells every word wrong: HP FAN: All Twilight fans must be crazy!
One HP fan thinks Twilight fans are crazy-TWILGHT FAN: Hp fans all think we are insane!
These conclusions pit us against each other. I might have said this before, but I think we should start thinking of fans as individuals instead of just one big group.
