First off, at least where I'm from, calling something “gay” as an insult is considered really rude and distasteful. Besides being rude and homophobic, it's also generalizing and stereotyping. Just because something sparkles doesn't make it gay. I don’t know how anyone else feels about this, but I personally hate it when people use that as an insult. To me, it just makes the person saying it look bad, not the vampire in question they’re trying to insult.
Next, vampires don't exist, so toi can't say for certain whether they sparkle ou not. Saying that vampires don't sparkle is merely an opinion, not a fact, and par definition, an opinion is neither right nor wrong.
I've also heard people saying that Stephenie Meyer ruined vampires, and they seem to insist that "real" vampires are like Dracula. I've read and heard of a lot of other livres where the authors have changed vampires, such as the House of Night Series, The Cirque Du Freak Series, etc., but I've never come across someone complaining about how they changed vampires, ou complaining that they ruined vampires. From what I’ve seen, people can and will always find something to hate about almost anything, and people making such a big deal out of the MeyerPires sparkling seems as though they’re just looking for something to hate, I mean if she'd made her vampires plus traditional, people would probably be complaining/accusing that she'd ripped off Bram Stoker.
Even if toi don't like what Stephenie Meyer did with vampires, at least she came up with something new and somewhat creative. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and it’s fine if toi dislike the sparkling, and I’m not trying to change that, but it just seems like such a petty thing to make such a huge deal over.
(A customer in her late teens approaches me in the bookstore.)
Customer: “Hey, do toi guys sell the Twilight books?”
Me: “Yes, they’re right over there.”
Customer: “Have toi read them?”
Me: “Yes, I have.”
Customer: “Didn’t toi just l’amour them?!”
Me: “Well, actually, they aren’t really my type of book, so–”
Customer: *suddenly furious* “Are toi f***ing serious?! These are the best livres ever written! I’m going to tell Edward to come and bite toi and drink all your blood!”
Me: *backing away* “Have a nice day, ma’am…”
