Why can't some people seem to understand that not everyone is a "Twitard" or "Twihard"?

It is because of the ways in which Stephanie Meyers has altered everyone's perspectives of vampires. Before Twilight, if you had said vampire people ociated this with mythology etc whereas now it is ociated with sparkling in the sun. Stephanie Meyers has permanently changed our views. Thanks so much Steph! I have also read Dracula and this is a completely different world to Twilight so basically I understand your pain.
