Would it be considered gay for a boy to be reading the Twilight series?
Im asking this because my friend read all the twilight books and then some people twilight is actually for girls. And im like "it a book."

:odd: Considered gay because he read a book???
For me in order to be considered gay u have to do somethings,not only read books
Despite that,twilight series own,i have to read them sometime :P

It's about a vampire who bite someone. Of course it's gay.

Vampires own
And except that,the whole story owns,thats why the series are win
now if u dont like vampires thats another thing,u cant name it gay though or its readers

I'm just using the word in the title. I don't think there's anything wrong with vampires other than they're very overused. I do have a problem with Twilight. So much of a problem that even my chick-flick-watching ass thinks it's too girly.
Hiwapi
02-03-2009, 09:41 AM
Well,with a quote It's about a vampire who bite someone. Of course it's gay.
it made me think that u thought vampires generally is gay
Although if u think that the series are girly thats ur opinion,i only commented on that because of the above quote
Reasons like"it has vampires thats why its gay" they sound kinda stupid to me...but thats just me,i just want a somewhat valid reason,its better now that u said that u simply think that its girly rather than ur previous response
Thats my opinion though,i dont want by anyway to force it into someone

Gay doesn't come into it. It's just bad literary taste. It's just fucking shit writing. And the story is fucking aweful.
Firstly: It's written in the first person. This in itself is not too bad, provided the author is competant enough to write articulately which Meyer, to a degree is. The problem comes with the relationship, it makes it sound soooooooooooooooo soppy and overblown "I looked up into his eyes, and from that moment on, I fell into a deep abyss that only he could save me from. I wanted to, no, I needed to be with him forever." blah blah blah. It also means that you've got an overly hormonal, emotionally twisted girl who sees vampires as a narrator, hardly a reliable source of information lol.
@U25: Dude there's loads of fucking great vampire shit out there. Unfortunately Twilight is not one. I read a series a while back by an author called Christopher Pike called "The Last Vampire" (sounds ghey I know, turns out she wasn't the last one either LOL) but it was fucking immense, soooooooo violent they couldn't possibly have made a film adaptation the film classification board would have refused to rate it and locked it in a deep dark dungeon for all eternity.
Like seriously, she's under arrest, and pretends to need the toilet, but the policeman won't let her off the cuffs from him, and he's a licentious fat git so he thinks he can molest her whilst she's having a piss. She, "Alicia" a 3000 year old vampire (or yakshini in their native indian tongue, yeah shit me vampires originated in india, there's an original take for you), so evidently she isn't having any of this. She puts his head through the porcelain sink as if the sink were paper, wipes the bone, carteledge and grey matter off her fingers, dries her hands, does her hair, then fucking punches her way out of the toilets through the wall and calls a cab. Bad. Ass.
Then of course there's the Anne Rice novels, which, save for Queen of the Damned (which is a long rambling novel that attempts to go places and doesn't really) are all fucking awesome books. Blood and Gold and Pandora which are two partner books (one the tale of a 2000 year old vampire called Marius, the maker of Lestat, and the other the tale of Pandora, his consort in the early years who goes her own way eventually), are also awesome and have a far more realistic view of "eternal love" than Twilight. Marius and Pandora last 200 years together before falling out, bitching at each other and generally hating shit up. Then they go their seperate ways and only see each other again twice in a whole millenium, and even then things don't end well. Hot shit.
BTW if anyone says "Darren Shan" and the Cirque du Freak series of novels, NO. That crap was literally only good for wiping your ass with. The writing and concepts were even worse than Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code (whose concepts were commendable, as are Angels and Demons, but the execution is horrific, a competant GCSE English Student could have done better).
The one thing that HAS been done to death, which appears in the twilight series, is the Vampire vs. Werewolf battle. Fuck me im sick of it. As if Underworld wasn't bad enough (oh yeah Rise of the Lycans, WTF IS THAT SHIT?).
On top of that, it was written for 13 year old girls.
/rant.

Twilight: How not to write a book/series.
What a horribly narrow and inaccurate way to categorize someone's sexual identity... through their taste in literature [if you want to call Twilight 'literature']
My mom thought I would like it since I'm sorta into vampires. Only thing is, she bought the second, third and fourth. Not the first. :rollseyes:

perfectly stated. It' was written to fulfill girlish fantasies about love.
Started out promising though, then it went downhill from book 2, or maybe I started it young then grew out of that wide eyed girlish dream.

02-03-2009, 04:20 PM
like as soon as Jacob was introduced and it became evident that he was a werewolf, and he was vying with the vampire for Bella's affections, like seriously, could you take a cliche and make it anymore vomit inducing?
Miya_Kaminari
02-03-2009, 04:46 PM
Hmm. I actually liked it. I've read some of Anne Rice books too, but a different look at vampires can be interesting in itself. Although I ended up seeing the movie before I read the book - otherwise I would have never known about it. X'D
As to whether people think a guy is gay for reading it, I think that's mainly based on the fact that those people think it was a 'gay' movie/ book. So whether you read it or not, like it or not, it's only your opinion.
metalsoup111
02-03-2009, 04:58 PM
Never read them or saw the movie, but it all sounds pretty damn lame to me, so far. Does reading them make you or anyone gay? No, that's absurd. lmao...

Reading Twilight is about as gay as reading The Swimming-pool Library.

02-03-2009, 05:16 PM
Even if I read the books, I wouldn't tell a damn soul. It's bad enough that I got dragged to the movie.
I just wouldn't hear the end of it. Not to mention, that lead chick really had no mind of her own.
TW501
02-03-2009, 06:06 PM
I tried reading it but didn't find it very interesting and stopped. The target audience is probably more female than male, but I wouldn't say that reading a certain book makes you gay.
pumpkin13
02-03-2009, 06:09 PM
yeah, aimed at 13 year old girls with idealist views on love.
I took the OP to more mean is it considered derogatory than homosexual, but i guess that just goes to show how gay is used as a derogatary term so much these days. I have no problem with homosexuals myself, just for the record.
I feel completely safe in saying that the Twilight series is horrible. I've never read any of the books and never will. I've been hearing about these crappy books for years now though and I hate hearing so much about something that I can easily tell is horrible.
There aren't many good teenager authors that I can think of, so anybody that feels like reading something should just pick up a good adult novel instead of reading a waste of pages like Twilight. Speaking of which, I have to go read some more of the Dark Tower series.
BTW if anyone says "Darren Shan" and the Cirque du Freak series of novels, NO. That crap was literally only good for wiping your ass with. The writing and concepts were even worse than Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code.
I read the Cirque Du Freak series years ago and enjoyed them. In retrospect, the series is actually quite bad in concept and writing. I read them when I was in Middle School and since I've read a lot more books. I do think that Darren Shan is an alright writer though. His style is incredibly simple but it's aimed for young teenagers, so it's not going to be a masterpiece. However, his new Demonata series is much more interesting than the Cirque Du Freak series was. The Demonata series is the only teenage series I'm still reading. It's still aimed towards teenagers and easy to read, but it's a lot darker, a fun read, and the Demonata universe is pretty interesting to me.
Basically, Darren Shan was a noob writer and has gotten much better since.
Not to mention, that lead chick really had no mind of her own.
Once I saw the trailers, I had no intention of seeing it because she had no emotional range in her acting AT ALL. Not sure who she slept with for that role...

When I saw the trailers on tv, it instantly reminded me of Blood and Chocolate, but with vampires, of course.

From what I've heard and read (the first chapter of the first book) it's pretty clear the series is intended for a younger crowd. Whether the author initially meant it to be or not I'm not sure, but it's certainly turned out that way. I'm not a fan of the series, but i'm not about to go running around calling it shit either, but it seems like the reason people bash it is thus:
As the books aren't written for and dont seem to appeal to people over a certain age, they aren't going to enjoy it. However, that hasnt stopped people from reading them, and in doing so, they trash the book continously. Due to this, people who haven't read the book will already think negatively about it and when they do get around to trying to read it, they'll already subconciously be biased towards it.
It's similar with Harry Potter, except that was better written as the books went on and it was planned out well, so people of all ages took to it easier and it got less critiscism.
The fact that the vampires..."sparkle" is proof enough that it's aimed at a younger generation

But.... it's shit. Read some fucking Hellsing.
I wouldn't call a guy gay for reading the series, but if you start squealing "OMG EDWARD" then gtfo.

Nida_Nightmare
02-05-2009, 02:11 AM
The question itself is pretty lame imo :push: why can't you read a good book just because you're a guy? I feel that if you really like something and want to try it out-whether it's right or wrong-then you shouldn't be afraid of being judged by anyone else and just go for it.
There is absolutely no correlation between what books you read and your sexuality. As long as you dont go too far and start being unstable with your manly feelings, I think that respecting a girl's emotional interests is very gentle-manly and shouldn't really get into one's way of appreciating a finely-thought-of and well-written series!
arctic_zakura077
02-05-2009, 05:47 AM
personally, i dont read the series not because of the implication that one be labelled gay if i will but because i just dont want to. i am not really interested. but considering the topic, there is absolutely no relationship between a guy reading twilight and the possibility of him being gay for that matter. i have some friends (and they're guys) who read it and find it interesting and i respect them if they find it interesting. and they're still striaght. i do the same with other people that i dont know. if they find it interesting, so be it.

02-05-2009, 10:54 AM
Read Anne Rice's novels or play the Legacy of Kain series if you're looking for good literature on vampires.
Being gay does not equal liking cheesy love stories, so meh.

Would it be considered gay for a boy to be reading the Twilight series?
Im asking this because my friend read all the twilight books and then some people twilight is actually for girls. And im like "it a book."
Uhhh... no.
I mean, it's a BOOK. It may be a romance book (and that genre is usually aimes towards female readers/ buyers), but it's still a book and any boy can read it and not be considered gay.
To consider someone gay because they read a book is ridiculous.
As for the book itself and Stephanie Meyer's writting style--
To put it politely, it leaves much to be desired in the way of an integral plot and action/ violece. And that's me putting it nicely.
I've read three of the four books (which I like a little), but nothing really caught my attention about them. Meyer heaps on the romance, hormones, and confusion that would come with being in love. And instead of keeping it real, she exaggerates it all. I read an interview where Meyer said that she wrote the books for herself more than anyone else. So, we pretty much get the product of someone''s mind that wasn't actually made for presentation to the public (?).
Maybe that's why it's set in a world where hormones of teenage girls run rampant, vampire boys complain and whine about lost souls, and werewolves fight over a girl. xP
Not only that, but she takes an incredibly cliche idea and... does nothign with it. There is no fresh, new twist to it. Get original, please. Human/vampire romance? It's been done, and it will be done, I have no doubt, just in better ways.

I'm going to say yes on this one. Lawl, as much as I love my gays and love my Edward Cullen, if a guy read the series I would consider it a bit gay. Now I'm not saying reading something makes you gay because someone could just be curious as to what it is/is about. But there is like a 165 references to how hot/sexy/god-like Edward Cullen is (lawl I know this cause I read a review on it that was bashing the book) and the actual plot of James as the evil vampire doesn't show until P.398 (got this info from the same review). So if a guy actually made it THAT far into the book and ENJOYED it. Then yeah, you're kinda gay... at least Bi but can't hate who you are.
LOL that doesn't make you much striaghter if you read Anne Rice either though cause those are actually about gay vamps in a nutshell but it has a lot more depth and is actually respected literature. (:love: lestat)

02-11-2009, 03:42 PM
Unless by "Twilight series" you mean a male, and by "readings" you mean having sexual intercourse of the homosexual variety, then no, it is not gay.
That being said, if you do read Twilight you can and should be considered to have no taste in proper literature.
DarkBunny
04-02-2009, 01:19 PM
i have never read the series because that sort of literature can become really boring over time but i respect guys who do read it or have seen the films it doesn't really bother me theres better books out there anyway
redfable
04-02-2009, 05:35 PM
i dont think so i just think it sounds dumb
For reading it? No, that's ridiculous.
For enjoying it? Perhaps :P
In all seriousness, what does it matter what you read, even if it's not very good in someone else's opinion? And where does gay fit in? If you enjoy it, read it.
The book is gay. I don't know their standard of commercial anymore.

04-02-2009, 10:56 PM
I'd say sort of, mostly liking Twilight means you have shit taste.
Twilight aint gay but I personally didnt like it.

i read the book and thought it was wretched... and i hate that i remember the names of some of the characters. bah.
okay, how i see it.
a guy reads the book = not necessarily gay
reads the book and emphasizes that the guy edward was his favorite
character = borderline if not jumping into the gay wagon.

Twilight is a romance series written for teenaged girls. It has no depth, no real plot, and "vampires" that don't bite humans and prefer to drink the blood of animals to satisfy their needs. Anyone who finds this interesting is either a little girl going through puberty or a faggot. :yorucat:

My little sister(11 y.o) and her friends seem to enjoy it a lot ,I took the book from her and read it myself to find out that it's even worse HP series.
I know some 12 year old kid who loves Twilight, Jonas Brothers, Tokio Hotel and every gayness possible altogether.

twilight, is still a book however you look at it, it doesn't choose its reader's gender. BUT, if he reads the whole saga because he's gaga over edward cullen and ultimately joins the fangirls' search for him, then that's probably something else. lol

I would just say yes, but I'm afraid I'd be jumped and dragged away by the fan-girls of these books.

I hate Twilight, but the fact is if you like it is your choice, everyone can choose what is best suited for them. Now this book's primary object is to get the attention of girls, but like I said everyone can choose what to read. I don't consider a boy being gay for reading or seeing it, what I will consider is that he likes to read and see pure garbage. That will be my conclusion.

Anyone who says "yes" demonstrates their close mindedness. HOWEVER I think the question is do you really want to associate yourself with the likes of people who attack, throw acid over, then proceed to rape with a compass, the face of people, who's only provocation was that they said they didn't like the book. Or people that fire flares at groups of people, "oooh! a flare! not very badass is it!" Have you seen Donkeypunch? Dude gets killed by a flare through the chest, once the actual flare part of it goes off your fucked. She got charged with attempted murder for that.

05-31-2009, 01:32 PM
I don't think reading a series means anything... certainly Twilight is far from literary genius... I'm all for having series that I consider guilty pleasure... there are books out there for everyone... I don't understand why people feel the need to be judgemental when it comes to reading.

The book(s) in general is(/are) so soppy it pisses me off; I'd guarantee that it'd be five times better if it didn't have a first person point of view. I tried reading it and I wound up skipping through the whole damn thing. >:(

Childish romance doesn't quite cover it. And no, Bella is what, like meant to be 18? That's a young adult if you ask me.
Here's a great review from the Spoony Experiment (http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/2009/11/22/vlog-11-22-09-new-moon/)
Spoony:
And ANOTHER thing… You know, the more I think about Bella, the more shocked and appalled I am at her behavior. Throughout the movies she displays a neediness and selfishness that verges on sociopathic, almost as if she can’t even begin to comprehend the feelings of others as she leaves misery and broken hearts in her wake– and not just of her potential paramours. Think about her father, Charlie, and all the melodrama he has to put up with. She regularly comes home battered, bruised, and beaten, but answers his honest concerns only with lies. She disappears into the woods, collapses from exhaustion and exposure, causing him to mobilize a town-wide search for her fucking dead body, and returns with absolutely no explanation. Then she drops everything to flee to Italy for an indeterminate amount of time, and even the vampire Alice voices more concern for Charlie’s feelings than Bella does. Her hopeless, helpless, woe-is-fucking-me attitude veers beyond mere misogyny and becomes truly grotesque.
Think about her friends and her mother, whose lives would be devastated if her suicidal thrill-seeking ended her life. Does she care? No, because she can’t see beyond her own needs, acting for months like a petulant child denied her favorite toy. When it becomes clear that becoming a vampire would call off the truce between the Cullens and the werewolves, does Bella care that her incessant demands to become a vampire would therefore put the Cullens (who she claims to care about) in constant, mortal danger? No. Does she care that people are dying, being torn apart by wolves, sucked dry by vengeful vampires, all because she doesn’t have the good sense to get away from undead monsters? No. Does she care that her dad, who dotes on her constantly (only God knows why) has to clean up after these bodies? No. Does she even spare a moment to consider Edward’s feelings against turning her into a monster like him? No.
In fact, her desire to become a vampire is completely selfish as well. She’s worried about getting old, fat, and wrinkly like everyone else, and damn it, that’s not fair! Why should Edward stay young and dreamy for all eternity, and not ME? ME, ME, ME! Even once Edward has gone, I don’t think her pissy mood has as much to do with being alone as hating the thought that Edward could possibly be happy without her.
Anyone who relates to this girl is incredibly disturbed and needs some serious mental help. Anyone who’s ever been in love has perhaps wrestled with the same feelings, the same neediness that Bella experiences in these movies, but good lord, it’s a high school crush. We got over it. We moved on. Sure, that first love and that first loss were hell, but we got a fucking grip on our lives and moved on. You should never have to beg for love, and if you do, it ain’t love.
the only guy i know who has read twilight is gay. he's also happens to be a homosexual.

I don't read nor watch it but if you think it makes you gay, then those male actors who acted in it are gays. ;p

That picture was win :D
And yeah they are quite omega-gay.
Gay would be politically incorrect since sexuality isn't based on literary preferences but on sexual orientation/preference.
If a guy merely reads Twilight, then he's not necessarily gay.
If a guy reads Twilight AND goes on the "OH EDWARD YOU'RE SO HOT" shit then better start doubting.

You mean "gay" as in the homosexual gay, or the "gay" as an alternate word for stupid?
Well, simply because a guy reads a romance novel - if you can call it romance, urgh - then it's a little unusual.
Women seem to be more into the sappy love stories.
Men are apparently too manly for such unmanly type books.
I personally hate Twilight.
Maany reasons.
I voted Yes . i don't believe 'gay' is the correct word to describe male Twilight readers, but more of 'Fruity' :amused:
A guy cannot be gay by reading twilight.
A guy cannot be gay by reading twilight.
i actually heard bout some cases when that happened. that a hetero guy just turned homosexual after reading it...:bigsmile:
LOOOL but seriously unless you're emotionaly unstable.... then maybe.

Nah you can only be gay by taking another guys *censored* and putting in your *censored* or covering it in honey and *censored* ant hills *censored* taking a gerbil and *censored* holding hands and reaching around to grab *censored* and that's how babies are born.
But reading Twilight does make you lose your sense of the awesomeness of vampires!

No, it's just a book. It's may be directed to females firsthand, but that's not enough for it to be considered gay. It takes more than that, a certain behavior, a sexual orientation or whatever. It's just annoying when this word gets taken out of context. LOL

You wouldn't be gay, but I wouldn't consider you normal.

It is really gay to read and even watch Twilight as a man. If you need a Vampire fix then go watch True Blood on HBO. Great Vampire show that is not as gay.

totally gay even if you take interest in Twilight.
why would anyone want to read Twilight in the first place, be it a guy or a girl?
Twilight sucks :P

It'd be gay for a girl to read Twilight.
Twilight is gay. not just cause it's for girls.

I voted yes.
I really want to read the series not because I'm interested in it but because it would give me some real material to bash it wish, which would be fun. However, I wouldn't be caught dead by my friends with any of those books with me cause if that happens I'll be labeled "gay" before I can say "but". Not the actual homosexual gay, but that's just the way our society treats that word. You can't do anything about it.
P.S. I was once tricked into a plan to watch Twilight but I got away somehow.

It's not gay, go read it if you want to.
