First off, at least where I'm from, calling something “gay” as an insult is considered really rude and distasteful. Besides being rude and homophobic, it's also generalizing and stereotyping. Just because something sparkles doesn't make it gay. I don’t know how anyone else feels about this, but I personally hate it when people use that as an insult. To me, it just makes the person saying it look bad, not the vampire in pregunta they’re trying to insult.
Next, vampiros don't exist, so tu can't say for certain whether they sparkle o not. Saying that vampiros don't sparkle is merely an opinion, not a fact, and por definition, an opinion is neither right nor wrong.
I've also heard people saying that Stephenie Meyer ruined vampires, and they seem to insist that "real" vampiros are like Dracula. I've read and heard of a lot of other libros where the authors have changed vampires, such as the House of Night Series, The Cirque Du Freak Series, etc., but I've never come across someone complaining about how they changed vampires, o complaining that they ruined vampires. From what I’ve seen, people can and will always find something to hate about almost anything, and people making such a big deal out of the MeyerPires sparkling seems as though they’re just looking for something to hate, I mean if she'd made her vampiros más traditional, people would probably be complaining/accusing that she'd ripped off Bram Stoker.
Even if tu don't like what Stephenie Meyer did with vampires, at least she came up with something new and somewhat creative. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and it’s fine if tu dislike the sparkling, and I’m not trying to change that, but it just seems like such a petty thing to make such a huge deal over.
