I have to agree with Michelle- It is not about women. It is about the fans being so disrespectful. I have gone to SCDD for years. And I also went to Hall H last year to see other panels. It was not good. I like Twilight very much and I am a women. But I am so HAPPY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE THIS YEAR.!!!!!!

I can’t say that I’m disappointed about the lack of a Twilight panel. Whatever your thoughts on the show are, the sad truth is that the fans of the show made Comic-con a much poorer experience for many, many people last year. The backlash against the obsessive and desperate Twilight fans was so strong that the SDCC folks were forced to switch panels on Thursday afternoon, so eager fans of the Avatar panel wouldn’t have to be in the same room as the Twilight fans, hundreds of whom camped out for days to be front and center.

I went to Hall H last year for the two 3-D panels on Thursday morning. Because I have a handicap, I was allowed to enter first, in order to find seating. The fans RUSHED the room, almost running me down in their attempt to get to the front, and then proceded to glare at me when I asked them politely to be quiet during the panels I was there to see. They were rude, inconsiderate, immature, and, most importantly, incredibly annoying.

This isn’t about Twilight being good for women, or bad for women… it’s about the fact that the fans are so disrespectful that they’ve become the mocking point of geekdom.

So, thank you Summit for not bringing this panel back for 2010. I think it will make SDCC a much better place this year.

Greatly dissapointed about Twilight not having a major panel. There are other panels I want to see but I was looking forward to seeing that the most. I am a huge Twilight fan and will still be going to comic-con dressed as Bella!!

Does anyone else get irritated that when people dislike Glee or Twilight, the defenders have to mention something about women? It’s kind of offensive assuming all women are attending the con just for these shows/movies. Also, think about all the guys that like those shows also. They’re included in those fans hating the haters. Don’t be so “it’s just because women love it” since you’re not including all those men that love it as well. You’re also disregarding all the women that do attend for other reasons than twilight.

I’ve been going to SDCC since I’ve been able to afford it by myself. It was never a man’s only world or anything like that so please please please stop the “just because women like it” crap. It’s not a declaration of war on (some) women’s interests. They don’t hate Twilight because it brings more women to the convention. If anything I know a lot of guys probably love the fact they can openly gawk, glomp, etc women that attend. The Twilight hate stems from the overpopulation and overrunning of panels prior to the Twilight panel last year that made it impossible for people that really wanted to attend the panels before the Twilight panel to get in and became pissed.

Get the facts straight regarding why Twilight is really getting all the hate if you’re going to complain.

I love the irony of Sia & Kass trying to play this as a “let’s respect what some women love” when Twilight itself is offensive to any woman who can manage to function without a man in their life.

So obviously, praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster that there will be no Twilight! And I wonder if will there be less people overall on Thursday (the day when the Twicrap panel has been in the past) because the folks who purchased for Thursday to see a Twilight panel won’t show? Probably not enough to make a noticeable dent, though. And extra points if they bought for Twilight but decide to come and enjoy some real nerd activities instead.
