If you can't read it This is not from me:
I'm terrified.
And it's all because of what a simple book, based on the dreams of Stephenie Meyer has done to this generation.
Yesterday, my little sister told me that her friend had told her that in a fight over who was better, Edward Cullen or Jacob Black, two kids lost their lives.
And today, a friend of mine provided me with this link.

"Suddenly in a fit of rage, she picked up a beaker full of acid, and screamed 'You bastard twilight hater!!!' and threw the whole beaker of acid in my friends face. He screamed, and tried to get away, however the girl, obviously not contempt with ruining his face, got a compass out and proceeded to stab him several times with the compass. I was in a state of shock, but somehow I managed to gain enough sense to be able to knock the compass out of her hand, and tackle her to the ground. she was kicking and screaming and clawing. The other people around jumped into help me. The lecturer dragged my friend to the emergency shower and tried to wash the acid off his face. Somebody ran to get the first aiders. Meanwhile we decided to move the girl, so I got off her and a few people grappled with her and moved her to the other side of the room, and stopped her from escaping. I sat down in shock, I couldn't believe that anyone could od anything like that, because of a book."
I hadn't thought anything like that could happen because of a book either.
Now, I, myself, am not a fan of Twilight. I am honestly, only a fan of the character Jacob Black, because, well, I like him. I own a shirt that says Team Jacob on it. And because of that, I am now terrified of wearing it in public. I'm terrified of possibly being put on a list like this.

I couldn't believe that the list of attacks by twilight fangirls on those who expressed their opinions on the book was THIS LONG.
And this brutal. And I thank God that there is nothing murder. Yet. But with these attacks, who knows how long it'll take? I just hope I never see anything under that.
And on a comment that =Chibi-Kai-Chan made on my journal regarding this matter, she told me of her own experience.
"That is terrifying xAx
I got attacked by a freshman for saying twilight was a crappy book x3x and you know I gave my reasons and everything (real reasons too)
and she started beating me with a water bottle and actually called her friends over to help her
luckily I ran off before they could get over there.
Gah it was more disturbing that she was laughing while she did it and she kept hitting me >A< Hoping her beating would convert me into a believer. She was trying to make me take back what I said."
This is a true shame really. I'm scared to do this as well,
But I will voice my opinion on Twilight.
Sure, I don't like the book. Sure I think it was a waste of my time to read it. And I understand why people like it, but it's just not my thing.
But this is only what I think.
Are you going to hurt me, or even kill me for what I think?
Everyone has the right to voice their opinions, without the fear of being hurt for saying it. It's in our constitution.
Twilight Fans, I know how much you like the series and its characters, and I do see why. I just hope that none of you ever escalate to anything like this. I'm begging you to not add to that list.
Those Anti-Twilight, this is a warning to you. Apparently, we can't voice our opinions on the book without the fear and the danger that someone is going to hurt us. I just hope none of you ever make it on this list.
Now, i'm not sure how the news system works, but if there's a way to get this to where everyone can see it and read, please, please, please, I'm begging you to help me out, so everyone can see this.
