Maybe, this world, is coming to an end. In terms of literature; although it’s not fair to belittle a certain vampire series based a frozen turkey baser dipped in crazy glue then glitter, but all in all literature has slowly aged and is becoming instinct like the fabled queer dodo.
But, sometimes, like all crazed fans do, they take it too far. They tend to take it beyond points of reason, sanity and even clinically insane. Oh no, they have to prove their fanalty- fan loyalty and turn into psychos. Something that is substituted into fan nazis. Because using a little thing called freedom of speech found in Article 3 in the Universal declaration of Human rights adopted on 10th December 1948 by the UN; it says, I kid you not “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” This right is found even more accurately in Article 19 as it states “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” Now, with articles like these in a UNIVERSAL declaration then where are these rights when little psycho’s come and attack you for having an OPINION.
This is not a dictatorship, yes, you MAY like it, I’d rather you didn’t but I’m not gonna try and convert you by shoving large words you can’t even pronounce down your throat while you squander your time squealing about the characters, a so called well-developed plot and what’s more, a book that is so well-written it’s not only based off Romeo and Juliet it even exceeds aforementioned play in being “awesome”. How twilight manages to be Romeo and Juliet without being sued for copyright is beyond me, if I was shakespeare I’d be royally pissed off that someone’s taken my plot added minor changes and threw in a couple of sparkles on some characters and re-sold it as a masterpiece.
Nothing gives ANYONE the right to attack both verbally, physically and in some cases sexually over a book. If you were a fan you shouldn’t have a problem with “haters” you shouldn’t care if you were a real fan and a real person who’s capable of compassion, empathy and something I like to call a little human decency. A reason why it’s called HUMAN decendy and not just decency right? So if you’ve ever felt like beating the crap out of people for criticising your favourite book series or author with their own opinion which is a right as has been mentioned above then you need to down the whole stock of concrete pills in your local pharmacy and harden up. There will always people out there who won’t like the book, it’s not a winning lotto ticket to a small fortune of 13.4 million dollars now is it? No? Very good, I see we are learning, and because it’s not that magic lotto ticket we all want and LIKE then what is the problem with people not liking it? Most people don’t brussel sprouts but you don’t see brussel sprouts fans trying to get revenge for poor, defenceless, tiny cabbages do you? Well no, so therefore no one has the right to do so with the application of this theory to other issues plaguing todays society.
