Hate Bandwagon

Why is there so much hate for Twilight/Justin Beiber? You can dislike them, I'm fine with that, but don't get uppity about it.
Some people say Twilight "ruined" vampires. Well, it didn't. How could Twilight ruin Dracula, or any other work with vampires? Yes, vampires may be more popular, and there may be shoddily made attempts to cash in on the hype, but it doesn't mean vampires are all bad.
And Justin Beiber doesn't deserve the hate. Why make fun of him for his (not so high) voice? He can't control that, can he? You can dislike his music, but don't hate the person.
This is my opinion. Thank you for your time.

OH OH OH.
Some poor defenseless girl made a video of her singing a song that was written for her with lyrics that don't mean anything!
I KNOW. Instead of ignoring it, I'll post a mean comment to ruin some girl's life!

Trolls. Gotta hate em.

As if.

Re: Hate Bandwagon

Let's face it, people love to exaggerate. This goes double on YouTube where you can say "OMG THIS SUXX GO KILL YURSELF", and no one really cares if it's offensive.

And all things considered, there's nothing really morally wrong with poking fun at someone. Saying things like "Justin Bieber sounds like a girl" doesn't really hurt him (plus, he does sort of sound like a girl... I'm just saying).

So yeah.

Re: Hate Bandwagon

Well, Twilight did ruin vampires. Now pretty much every vampire you see will sparkle or have teen love interests. Sure, it hasn't ruined Dracula, but it will ruin it's successors.

Try saying that being made fun of when it's happened to you every day for a year and people actually mean it.
  Try it. I dare you.

You're getting made fun of because you disagree with the fangirls.

Re: Hate Bandwagon

People get on hate bandwagons because they dislike the love bandwagons. Then people make topics like this supporting the no-bandwagons bandwagon.

That despising hate bandwagons seems to become kind of popular recently.

And that love can't exist without hate.

Why does love need hate to exist?

Because if we all loved, never hated, how do we define truly loving. There's nothing to base it against. If we all loved something, who really loves it.

Not bad trolling. Not bad at all.

Firstly, the only other popular teenage vampire stories I know of are Night World(which has almost Dracula characters) and Vampire Diaries(which has even more Dracula like characters).

Secondly, I don't see what's wrong with vampires sparkling of having teen love interests. You might as well say,"Now pretty much every wizard will be a punk with a cool scar."

No one ever complained Harry Potter ruined Merlin or Magician, but when it comes to Twilight, nooo....

This was what I was talking about in my rage topic.

Re: Hate Bandwagon

So what if I hate Justin Bieber's songs? I'm not allowed to have a musical opinion now? Do I need to justify having a reason for disliking something? No.
