[Surprisingly quickly after the arrival of the recommended reading, a typed rant appears on the bulletin board. It is not signed.]

This Twilight book is fucking terrible and here is why:

• It's boring
  
• It's a stupid romance
  
• Uses way to much of that thing where like, things are emphasised a lot. Hyperbolic, or whatever
  
• Story structure is shit, most of it is about the stupid boring romance with the stupid boring characters, and then hostiles appear out of nowhere without even one scene ominously hinting about their existence
  
• Planetary Security in this place sucks
  
• The stupid fucking love interest Edward also sucks and is clearly hostile
  
• If Bella has to have a stupid love interested she should pick someone less likely to murder her
  
• He admits to wanting to eat her
  
• He breaks and enters into her sleeping quarters, as well as other clear stalking behaviours
  
• Seriously he keeps going on about how much he wants to eat Bella, what the fuck
  
• Why is she not concerned about this, does she want to fucking die
  
• Bella is also terrible. And boring.
  
• (Also Edward liking her smell is disgusting, that's just gross)
  
• The hostiles that arrived at the end distracted from the stupid romance plot, so I guess that sucked slightly less than the rest of the book, but it was still badly written and fucking stupid

In conclusion: it sucks.

Bestie, you do not even KNOW

First off, wtf is this misogynistic tripe. Sure she gets like powers and stuff but only after being given them by A MAN?!? GTFO. Antifeminist bullshit.

Second, it totally misses the point of a goddam vampire story. Vampires are a fucking metaphor about malignant capitalism. Everyone knows this. It's not sexy to offer yourself to your phallocratic oppressors.

This is like goddam brainwashing for women. I hates it, I do.

[SecUnit stares at this comment for what is a very long time, for a construct, before doing anything about it. See, it agrees with the overall vibe of the comment - the book is bad, and this person is correct for hating it - but it also doesn't understand a thing this human has said. What did genders have to do with any of this? What was antifeminist bullshit? What were phallocratic oppressors meant to be (as opposed to normal, regular oppressors?)

It could ask. But then it decides that it doesn't actually want to know.]

Right. So it's terrible, and we all hate it.

[It DOES want to know because listen, if you're gonna be a professional hater, like her, you want to be multifaceted in your hate. No sense being one-dimensional. ]

The checkout records of the book would disagree.

Apparently this garbage sold 160 million copies.
That's a lot of people with garbage taste
and dubious feminist street cred.

[Like hell it does, not when knowing means having to learn about stupid gender and stuff. Ugh.

Also why the fuck have that many people read this terrible book?]

Fine, then everyone who doesn't have stupid garbage taste hates it.
