Ashamed to be a Twilight Fan ATM

[~*Cathy*~]

UGH! I don't know if you guys have heard about the 'incident' yesterday, or not, but right now, I'm totally ashamed to be a Twilighter.

If you've not heard, Rob was on the set of his new movie in NYC (first day of filming), and was apparently mobbed (or "attacked" as some are saying) by some crazy fans. There's a video (which I've not been able to bring myself to watch), and pics (of which I've seen a couple) of the mayhem, but I won't be posting either of those things. If you want to see them, there are plenty of them around the net at the moment, I'm sure you can find them.

And no, he wasn't physically hurt, but pretty shaken up about it. Can't see why! According to someone on set, he had to take a little break afterwards, and just sit and collect himself. Poor guy!

This not only makes me incredibly sad, it makes me mad as hell too. I mean, OMG who do these girls think they are? What the hell were they hoping to accomplish by attacking the poor boy? Did they really think that he might want to hang out with them after, or that he'd thank them for accosting him? GRRRRR!

There's a lot of pissed off fans out there right now, and these girls had better hope they don't run into any of them. At Lion_Lamb LJ, there's a whole bunch of girls who would love to hunt these girls down and slap them around a bit. No joke. Not that it would help the situation, but they'd like to do it anyway.

They're talking about how crazy these girls are, not only for the fact that they "attacked" him, but what they were wearing at the time. Two of the girls had Twilight totebags with Edward (only) on them. One was dressed in black, and was kinda goth looking, nothing extreme, but enough. One girl was wearing a flannel shirt just like one KS wears, a pair of black RayBans (like Rob's), and apparently a beanie (I didn't see it in the one pic of her I saw, but other people who saw all the pics were commenting on it). Coincidence, or crazy stalker chick? You decide.

I feel so bad for Rob right now. He's already paranoid enough about the crazy fans, and this is just going to make it so much worse. And they're ruining it for those of us fans who love him, and would love to see him filming upcoming movies, but who wouldn't accost the poor boy. They have locked down the set of the movie now, making it impossible for those fans who'd just stand there -and not be insane, and want to see him. I'm sure they'll have to do the same for any future movies he does too, just so he can have some peace of mind.

And these chicks are the ones who give the rest of us a bad name. MOST fans aren't the obsessive stalker types, but the few that do this shit make it seem like we all are. Sooooo frustrating!!! GRRR ARGH! I'd love to smack all of those girls upside the back of their heads, and go "Are you happy now? Are you proud of yourselves for making fools of yourselves, and giving the whole Twilight fandom a bad name? " I hope they're totally humiliated and ashamed today, but unfortunately, they're probably not. They're not smart enough to be, they're probably proud of the fact they got close enough to touch him. Disgusting!

I know Rob will never read this, but I'd love to take the time to apologize to him on behalf of us non-wackjob fans. We're not all insane, and are appalled that they'd do something like that.


What do you guys think? I'm honestly scared for humanity when I see stuff like this. I mean, my lord, he's a human being, give the man some space and peace. Just because he's an actor doesn't give us the right to manhandle him, or stalk him.

GTFO of my fandom crazy people!!! Geez!!!

THAT is ridiculous... It makes me very ashamed to be a teenage girl right now because I'm guessing that I will have to be bunched into the same generation as these nutjobs. Why are these girls so insane!?! It makes me very sad for celebrities because they are subject to this and I don't think that Rob is the first celebrity to have to deal with this. It's so unbelievable that they had the audacity to do this.

I too would like to apoligize to Rob and his family for all of the Twilight fandom and to also remind him we're not all insane nutjobs who would attack you at first sight.

Let me know when we can come out from the bomb shelter when this all blows over.

Well, I'm not so sure that all four of the main wackos were teens. One of them definitely looked older to me. I could be wrong, but the pic I saw -she looked older than ME! So it's pretty much the whole fandom, old and young alike, that are going to be ridiculed after that.

And yeah, he'd not the first to have to deal with it, but knowing that he's so uncomfortable with it makes it that much worse. He's already paranoid about big crowds and these guys are just re-enforcing why he should feel that way.

Jeesh, that makes it all the worse!! (Meaning the not just teens)

*sigh* Humanity. Be on the look out for plagues, floods, and the such.
