Okay, so I just want to say that I'm not a Twilight Hater, in fact I like the series. I read it looong before it was popular though, and what I do hate is how popular it's gotten and how suddenly EVERYONE knows about it.
I was re-reading a Harry Potter book in class (I like Harry Potter, shoot me) because we had a substitute teacher that didn't know what work we were supposed to be doing, so she left us to our own devices. Alicia, a girl in my class who I don't know that well comes up to me.
Her: Oh, Harry Potter? Does that mean you like Twilight?
Me: Yeah, it's pretty good.
Her: It's fantastic!
Me: I wouldn't go that far. I mean it's a good series, but it doesn't deserve all the hype it's gotten.
Her: Excuse me?
Me: What?
Her: Listen, I don't know what planet you're from, but Stephenie Meyer is a genius!
Me: No, she isn't. She's an average author, who wrote an average book!
She just stares at me angrily for quite a while, then obviously seeming to have decided on something, wrapped her hands around my throat. Shocked, my hand automatically shot up and hit her across the face. She continued to choke me, and out of anger and panic I kicked her square in the stomach. She released her grip and fell back against a table. Furious, I ran towards her and slapped her multiple times.
Finally my classmates tore me off of her and the substitute took me and the bitch up to the principal, where she got a weeks detention and I got two days. Not bad I guess, seeing as I made her bleed a little.
I knew there were violent Twi-tards out there, but I didn't think they were this common!

Good on you for fighting back. There's no long term damage is there?
I find it pretty shocking that it's not just disliking the book that gets this kind of violence, it's seeing the book as alright and not the greatest thing ever.
Sometimes with these attack cases, some of the victims appear a bit antagonising, but you were perfectly civil. You simply gave your opinion, and she went off on you for it.

You go, girl!
I tell my friends who like Twilight about these encounters to help them realize that there is something seriously horrible going on here. I've NEVER seen anything like this with a fan base. Dawson's Creek fans weren't violent!

Thanks. Stephenie really needs to get a message out to the fanbase saying something like;
"Stop being crazy motherfuckers, it's just a book!"

Yes, I know I'm offensive. I know I'm not PC. And I'm proud of it, because it's how I know I'm not lying.

Agreed. Why the hell should you be punished? It was self defense.
I hope you're okay.

Quoted for truth. Why should you be punished? She deserved it.
And I hope you're all right.

As far as I know, violence in self-defense is perfectly acceptable. What does the school want you to do, let yourself get asphyxiated?

Are you ok? That sounds pretty scary. I mean, I hate it when people touch my neck, and if someone actually started choking me... I'd go crazy.
It's horrible that you were punished too. That's crazy. She was way more out of line and so should have been suspended.

School administrators are such assholes about altercations! Even if you only acted out in self defense, you still get in trouble. What, were you just supposed to let her throttle you until you passed out? I can't believe that she would do that to you, and that you would get punished, too. That's so horrible.
These Twihards! They're so insane >:l

My friend told his english teacher about these stories and he didn't believe him. Sucks.
Glad you were seemingly winning that fight though. She got what she deserved!

I think what disturbs me is that the teacher didn't seem to even notice. My gosh, that's fucking horrible. What kind of substitute is that?

That's absolutely horrible! God, I'm glad your okay. I'm like you. I don't think the books are completely horrible. They are somewhat okay. But, so far, I haven't been injured or threatened. Hope that continues. But that's just crazy! Again, I'm glad your okay.
