What?

Do you always write this incoherently?

I can’t even feel properly annoyed by the things you say, it’s that nonsensical.

Also what fanboy rage?

I’d say, some idiot insisting on one interpretation of a fictional character not being changed or altered in any way, is more of a fanboy than anyone else.

I understand you don’t like the book, neither do I, the fact remains that fiction has no boundaries. I’m sorry your mom doesn’t love you, find something else to hate on. Like, a black president, or whatever is hip in your area.

My lack of comprehension, ha. You’re the one who goes on about the quality of the book, when nobody was arguing about it in the first place.

So you’re basically admitting that you have the mindset of a fundamentalist Christian in 1800.
The definition of vampire means to you something deep inside? What the fuck, are you sure you don’t actually like the vampires in Twilight. ‘Cause you sound just as idiotic.

Listen here, this legend is based on a man that was from Romania, which is where I happen to be from, it’s nothing but a legend based on a real man. It’s not likely, but that man could have been as metrosexual as David fucking Beckham.

Your rage over this piece of shit, and the fans who like it, is just as useless and tragic as the people who think the story is good.

You’re the one who tried to attack me personally first, though I see you don’t like when people talk about how your momma doesn’t love you.

“but don’t like it when you are on the receiving end”

I am capable of agreeing with people on one thing, and disagreeing with them on another. It’s called objectivity, try it sometime.

And what borrowed idea? I didn’t borrow anyone’s idea. Besides all artists are known for borrowing ideas, but I see you know little about creativity anyway.

Did the concept of vampirism start in Romania?

Yeah it fucking did, you retard, it was in this area that people invented it. But thanks for proving that you have no clue what you’re talking about.

“the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[7] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vampir (вампир) in Serbia, vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania.”

Actually, I attacked Blondie/Maggie, but whatever.

Oh yah and what was this “Whatsa matter, anyway? Did your slashfic get rejected, again?” supposed to be.

You didn’t quote Blondie/Maggie? You aren’t regurgitating post-modernist thought?

Oh shit, quoting another person is a sign of post modernist thought? Well fuck, I guess every fucking person I know at uni is a post modernist. I mean, they quote other people for reference, right.

You’re so out of touch, it’s not even funny.

I’ll try once more, it doesn’t have anything to do with Twilight, vampires, or your mom. Literature is known for having no boundaries, it is known for always bringing up new and improved ideas, that’s why it’s so beautiful, it’s not as limited as reality. I’m arguing about a principle, the principle being, that in literature, people are free to interpret old ideas that don’t have a strict make up, any way they want.
By no means am I implying that things like Twilight don’t have a bad effect, but it has nothing to do with an author and their interpretation of fictional creatures.

If you don’t want to look like a close minded bigot, I suggest you review your argument, and maybe change it to something more realistic, like, I don’t like Twilight for taking advantage of little emo girls my making a bullshit story popular.

Again, what drama? You’re the one with the ad hominems against people who didn’t even comment in this thread. Congratulations, cry me a river.

No. No it didn’t.

Do you have any proof of your own? I have read Gilgamesh, it does not portray any character as the vampire that you think is valid.

I was only talking about the common vampire, the way you insist is the only way a vampire can be authentic. That legend happens to have its origins in said areas, but sure tell yourself that “two wicked sisters” are how you imagined vampires to be.

Perhaps you should try reading some folklore beyond your own

If anyone here is too narrow minded to tolerate different ideas than his own, then it’s definitely you not me. Never have I disregarded any book because of a slightly altered idea.

1800 called. They want their outdated views back.

He is a nationalistic moron

So his political views that may or may not be true, have what exactly to do with his opinion on retarded little goth children?
Once again, you resort to cheap ad hominems because your point is too weak on its own.

Post modernism is rejecting previous conventions and treating any attempt to preserve them as bigotry. An attitude that there are no truths, and all ideas are equal.

Don’t try to bullshit your way out of this, you mentioned post modernist thought in regards to me quoting another person.

Also, you’re completely delusional, altering the idea of a vampire only slightly, does not destroy the old idea. So there’s nothing to preserve. I guess you also worry about gays destroying marriage. See, you’re a bigot.

too much change from a concept makes the concept unrecognizable.

I quote, from Barber, Vampires, Burial and Death, pp. 41–42, this is a common part of the legend of a vampire: “It is difficult to make a single, definitive description of the folkloric vampire, though there are several elements common to many European legends. Vampires were usually reported as bloated in appearance, and ruddy, purplish, or dark in colour; these characteristics were often attributed to the recent drinking of blood. Indeed, blood was often seen seeping from the mouth and nose when one was seen in its shroud or coffin and its left eye was often open.”

The vampires you approve of, are they all bloated and red? I doubt it.

Tacking on the old term is just lazy, not creative.

You already admitted that you have no problem with alterations as long as you agree with them. Your entire point becomes laughable, you’re arguing your own point.
So slightly altering an old idea is not creative, but reusing the old idea over and over is what, new and thoughtful? Don’t make me laugh.

Oh, I’m bigoted against a bankrupt school of thought that is producing idiots who have no understanding or value of history or knowledge?

Say what. You have got to be one of the most delusional people I have encountered. This was about a fictional creature, that has no significant effect on history whatsoever. If you take vampires out of the equation, people would live their lives the exact same way, today and always.

It’s all right honey, if you feel the need to devote your life to feeling superior over little emo kids, I’m not going to take that away from you. I don’t even know if you have anything else to cling to.
