First would like to apologize if I have done it wrong to open a new topic, but I couldn't figure out where to post it. Ok lets start.

Hi I'm Jade I am 28 years old and I live in Germany and this is my first post here. I'm not really a lurker and also not a Robsten or Nonsten how this two fandoms call themselves. I am Switzerland. :-)

The path that led me here is probably unorthodox. I am writing an examination paper in psychology and among other things It covers identification figures in pop culture, 'When do you cross the border to dangerous love affair?' and fan-love or fan-obsession?

In the midst of my research and preparations, I was introduced by my little sister in the Twilight world. And I must admit I was not aversed.
More research showed me that in the Internet this world was even bigger than expected. And soon I also came across the 2 competing camps. Nonstens versus Robstens.

It took a while until I could figure out at all and understand. I was able to relate to many things, some made me smile and laugh, but some caused me to shake my head.

There are fans who love and adore their favorite actors and musicians for their work. They know only their movies or songs, they do not know what kind of car one drives, nor where he goes on holiday. Others want to learn more. They would like to know which horoscope he or she has, their hobbies and their love choice. But some stand out from these groups. The same is with Nonstens and Robstens. I have personally differentiated 4 groups:


Robstens: They believe that the actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are in real life a couple. They love that fact and find the two really sweet and are happy for the them.

Nonstens: They do not believe that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are privately a couple. But they think that it's sweet that the two are such good friends and wish for them that soon they will find a great partner.

]Hardcore Robstens[/b: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are Romeo & Juliet Reloaded. They are the real thing. An epic love story . For the big girls they are Baby Houseman and Johnny Castle, or Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. For the little ones they are Cinderella and her prince, or Beauty and the Beast (a beautiful Beast).
If anyone dares to tear apart their dreamlovers (a taxi driver or a co-star that doesn't matter), then they will go to war.


[b]Hardcore Nonstens
: Robert Pattinson is James Dean and Mahatma Gandhi in one person. Martyr and Rebel. And everyone wants a piece of him. Kristen Stewart is the most untalented and ugly actress in the world. Robert has only compassion for her. He can be with anyone if need be even with Paris Hilton only not with the loser Kristen. Anything but that!!!!

Wenn I take a look at these two groups, I can't help my self but feel a little bit sad for them. So much love and so much hate for people they don't know. For people who will never answer their prayers.


The hardcore Robstens love THEIR Kristen Stewart and any other femineity around Robert is damned. They are all ugly and famewhores. Kristen is the only one in the world. She is the most beautiful, the most amazing, simply the best. All other co-stars of Robert have NOTHING and Kristen has EVERYTHING. All co-stars want him for themselves. They want to leap on him at every opportunity like bitches. All the hate in the world will be thrown on these actresses.
They analize everything what has to do with Robert and Kristen. And I mean EVERYTHING. A ring here a shirt there. They know their faces better than the parents of Robert and Kristen (yeah scary). Girls don't you notice ? You really do not realize how sick it sounds? 'Unfortunately' more than half of humanity consists of women. Accept this!
Accept that sometimes when Robert goes shopping, he will most likely touch the hand of the seller when he wants to pay. Do you really believe Robert will feel good when he hears how his 'most loyal fans' slag about his female co-stars and friends? Have you considered what kind of opinion Robert and Kristen have for such people?

They would be so scared if they were locked up in a room with you as if Hannibal Lecter would be there with them. Girls you are not nice and sweet. You are frightening as hell. You are obsessive and you need help. Now!

Now for the hardcore Nonstens:
You love Robert Pattinson. You really adore him very much. Let the love be a little obssesiv and there may be a little hatred for his co-star Kristen, who cares? Robert knows how much you love him and he is proud of those fans. Really??

Kristen is such a bitch, she is rude, untalented, can not talk, can not look, can not smile, sit, stand, walk, eat, drink, sleep .... the list is long, so long.
It is best to say simply: she can't do ANYTHING. She is NOTHING. Robert's other female co-stars can smile, look, talk, eat, drink ...they can EVERYTHING. They are everything she is not. All of them!
Each step of Kristen is analyzed to death till something negative catches your eye. Seek and ye shall find. And you always find something.
How can it be that adult women have so many thoughts over a 19-year-old and save up all their hatred for her?
All the criticism and no-goes makes you forget one thing:
She is a 19 year old girl who lives in a world we do not know. Who can claim to run in her shoes so you are able to judge her? Oh, I know the argument: In her position, she must be grateful, she has to behave in this way, talk like this, look like this and laugh like this yada-yada-yada. All the others do it so well, why don't you get it? And I thought, individuality still counts.
I thought it is important to not go under in the gray masses. Probably that does not apply for Kristen Stewart. She should perish in the Hollywood world (the polished mass).
She should adapt to this society and with her 19 years she should wear the same things and should overload herself with tons of jewelry. Maybe she would look 10 years older, but hey all the starlets look older so where's the problem?
Because if all hardcore Nostens are so 'pretty and nice', how can then a Kristen Stewart, who had such a chance to shoot with Robert, dare to look not glamorous. Stylistic change is not desirable. A style for all and that is called Glamour! This is the new etiquette.
She should hurry up to adapt in Hollywood. That means changing partnerships, false breasts, fake nose, fake laughter and fake marriages. Do not forget Botox. This is the new must! Yes, and all in the name of etiquette.
The next argument: you must not look like a starlet (nonsense) she should at least look clean. Yes, exactly, because you had the opportunity to see over photos her dandruff and the dirt under the toe nails. You know exactly when she is washed, you have her schedule always at hand. Oh, I remember Robert is another messy. But he still looks so hot. As I said, what is true for others, does not apply to Kristen Stewart.

Now we come to the biggest problem. Kristen has to do with Robert. That is so disgusting. How can he hang out with her. She is the greatest disaster and danger in his life. She destroyes him. She is 40 and he is 10, can no one explain to him that she is manipulating him?

But he is also Gandhi and is just sorry for her. The poor girl has no friends and so he drags her along almost everywhere. That means this perfect creature has no will of its own and has no balls to live his life independent from hers. And that is perfect? To me it sounds more pathetic.
For you hardcore Nonstens I can say only one thing, if it suits the people or not, fact is they like to spend time together, fact is they are good friends (if more or less, its up to them) and fact is that he decides to whom he wants to be friends with. Do you really think that Robert finds it great how you are bitching about his friend? Do you really think he is proud of their fans who hates on her?? Hardly.
Sure you say you do not hate her ( Who admits voluntarily that he hates an unknown person?!). It's just your personal opinion and dislike. I'm really sorry that I must take off your white vest, but what I have read of you is crying out for bare hatred. But one think is really funny but it's also confusing me. Therefor that you don't like her, you are really spending so much time and energy dishing about her. Who does that? I don't talk about people that I do not find interesting. In fact they are boring. So who talks about boring people? Usually no one does that. But you do. That's weird.

Ok hardcore Robstens and hardcore Nonstens no matter how much you hide yourself in illusions, the truth still stands there waiting to catch you.
No, Kristen and Robert are not Romeo & Juliet. No, Kristen is not the prettiest in the country. No, Robert is not perfect. No, Robert and Kristen don't give a damn about how you think and feel. No, you can never be like Kristen and no, Robert will never answer your prayers.
The quicker you learn, the better for you.

And all this hatred coming from both sides is really sad. As if their isn't enough hate and sadness in the world. Adult women who are also mothers, do not worry that there are children who die of hunger but rather argue about whether Kristen Stewart or Emilie de Ravin is ugly. So much for women's solidarity.

Probably some people will feel themselves attacked by my post, but I repeat it, this is my personal neutral opinion about the so-called hardcore fans. Whether Robsten or Nonsten that is a personal choice, and they have the right to their own opinion. But hardcore fans on both sides have no right to it. Freedom of expression stops at the moment on where hate begins to spread.

This article I'm posting in the biggest Nonsten and Robsten forum. I hope you don't mind. I posted something similar in a different Nonsten and Robstensite and they kicked me out, yeah free speech and stuff.

Have a good time!

Jade

I suggest you have a read thru past threads and see how many, many of us here at Robsten Love are sane .
I think eveyone has their own obsession to a degree...whether it be Football, Clothes, Star Trek, Stamps etc

Hi, first thanks for your reply, woho its my first one (yeah I'm giggling like a school girl). Obsession alone is not the bad thing. In our everyday life we are surrounded with different forms of obsession. But these are healthy ones. And there are the unhealthy obsessions that can affect your life and the life of others who are in your environment. the different levels can go till the most dangerous one. In my post I'm not talking about the exceptional cases who are dangerous that they can harm people. I'm talking about the other levels of the unhealthy admiration.
I'm a little obsessed with Kristen Stewart, but I think I can handle my (hopefully) healthy obsession. :lol:
About my essay, well I haven't finished it yet. As I said in my previous post, their are more subtopics and the issue fandom and their love or rather obsession is one of the smaller one. But I have to finish it in May so hopefully it will be ready till then.

But after that I have to figure out how to translate a 20-30 pages essay from german in propper english without having to pay for it. :D

I like this post Jade. ;) Good luck with your paper.

And I have to say, one of the main reason why I love this place is that everyone here stay sane ... We're pervs, nuts, obsessed but mostly full of love and fun. And when hysteria tries to come, the lovely mods kick her butt out of here. It's even fun to sit and watch ... :twisted:

Also I would love to read your work but if you can translate it to french too ? :mrgreen: No? oh shoot, so I'd just like to know if you take the internet's influence into consideration in your work. And what are your thoughts about that. ;)

Hi Jade!!!

I must say, I love your post 'cos you wrote my thoughts exactly ;)
I'm sorry to read you wrote this post at a nonsten and robsten forum and you were kicked out... That tells you everything 'bout them :roll:

OK, 'bout the hardcore Robsten fans:
I'm a robsten fan but I'm mostly a Robert fan to be really honest and I can't cope with all this hardcore robsten fans...
I used to be at a few robsten forums and blogs (Spanish-speaking) but they are so hardcore that it broke my nerves to read how much they hate all Rob's female friends and co-stars 'cos, as you said, is seems that he can only look, talk, go out, smile to Kristen and no one else... :roll:
Personally, I know Rob and Kris are together and I think they're so sweet and wish them all the best, as they're both great people, I'm happy for them as I see they're happy together :)
BUT, I don't think they will last forever, to be honest, I think it's a bit too much to think 'bout wedding bells and babys... And to be honest, I'm a bit worried 'bout what all this hardcore fans would do/tell if they split someday... (I've even read people wishing Rob to die 'cos they thought he was cheating Kris!!! :? )

About the hardcore Nonsten:

ok, I must say I've never payed so much attention to them 'cos it's quite obvious they're just jealous of Kristen, but, I've read a few forums and what I can't understand 'bout them is 1) they still don't believe that Rob and Kris are dating... and ok, you could have some doubts some months ago, but now, I think it's quite obvious that they're toghether :roll: 2) they are so jealous and hate Kristen so much, they even match Rob with his male friends just to deny that Rob is dating her... (Hello???... Calling to the sanity!!!... :roll: )

Anyway, thanks God, this robsten forum is plenty of great people. They don't like that hardcore drama and that is the reason I like to stay around here :)

I wish you good luck with your examination paper, I'm sure you will do a great job ;)




ps: sorry, my english isn't good at all :oops:

First, let me say Good Luck on your paper! :D I really enjoyed reading your post, and your English was pretty damn good. :D
I do have to respectfully disagree a little though. I am obsessed, totally obsessed! I Love Robsten, both Kristen and Rob equally. I love their chemistry together as well. However, I dont fit into one of your categories, I fit into 2. The Robsten and the hardcore Robsten. I think they are beautiful couple, I think Rob is drop dead gorgeous, and Kristen is fucking stunning. <3 I am a Robsten shipper because I believe they are a couple, not just dating IN LOVE couple. You can see it in their eyes. Do I believe they will last forever? not sure, but I hope so. Love can get you a long way, if not forever, I do believe they will last a while, and yes my heart will break if they split. However, I will not go all bat shit crazy, if they split, there will be a good reason for it, and I trust there decision. I am a Hardcore Robsten shipper, because I analyze everything they wear. I love to see her ring, his shirts, her hat, all of it! I am like a little detective, its fun!! I do not believe in hating his costars just because they are working with him. I do believe you can dislike his costars though, just simply because you dont like them. Not everyone like's everyone. lol But the bashing or the hate is wrong. Although, if he did a movie with Megan Fox, I would probably drop into that category :lol: :lol:

Also I dont think my obsession is in anyway unhealthy. If anything, it has changed my life for the best. It gives me something to look forward to, it gives me hope. (may sound lame, but its true.) I have made so many wonderful friends through my obsession, and I love them all. My life is so much better now, I have people that care about me in one way or another through this Robsten Journey. Its all a good thing. I have 2 kids, I don't neglect them because of this, but I do take mommy time now. That is needed to remain healthy! So, as a result I am a much happier person, I get more advice about my life problems, so I get a better view on things. I see how women should be treated, I have learned so much. I guess the end result would be, I am a happy, and a very proud Robsten shipper <3<3

Oh and the hardcore nonstens? well I think they all need to be medicated. *peace*

first Jade, let me say that I very much liked your post. second I agree with almost everything you wrote. I was trying to fit myself into a cathegory but I really couldnt

mostly for reasons angelsrock above me stated. I do believe the are in love and I do wish it lasts. Im a hopeful romantic like that. seeing them happy and together makes me smile. and I also made friends with a lot of wonderful people thanks to this obsession of mine. I think we all get a little bit crazy time after time but why not? I have my own issues with fans in general and Twilight fans in particular but that is a whole different topic

I love them both. maybe I like them a weee bit more together then separately but I have always been more of a shipper then a fan anyway. as I said, hopeful romantic :) but the truth also is that the more I learn about them individualy the more I like and respect them. when it comes to co-stars I know I will like some more then the others. and in the future I may even avoid some of their movies as to not see one of them star with someone in particular. but its not like it would be the first time it happeend to me :D but I would go to see their movies because I adore them both. and I would hope they indeed make another non-Twilight movie together in the future. and I will get a little crazy time after time with my fellow fans because its fun.

what exactly was I trying to say here? I guess that Im a bit crazy, a bit obsessed and that its a little hard to fit people into cathegories ;)

good luck with your paper its sound really amazing so far

Hi Jade, I think the concept for your paper is awesome. It's obvious you've put a lot of analysis into the various character traits of Robsten and NonRobsten fans. I love where you are headed, and I sometimes see myself as a part-time Hardcore Robsten person, which is a little scary to me. I think sometimes I allow myself to live my life through K and R vicariously. Not a good thing for me, I think. When I realized that I might be headed there, I backed off and reminded myself that the relationship might not last forever, and I was emotionally getting in way over my head. The last thing I need in my life is to end up with another broken heart over two people that have no real connection with my every day life. So, I attempt to keep myself grounded, while at the same time remembering what true love can mean in a person's life. I'm not sure if I am articulating this very well, and I apologize.

There is one healthy aspect of my interest in Robsten. K and R helped me to remember that love is why we are all here, the reason we live. After a painful decade for me personally in the 90s, I've started to open up again. And, I've become aware of myself because I never realized what a hopeless romantic I am. Seriously, it was an epiphany for me to realize that about myself. It affects what I do, how I think and feel, and the realization helps me to balance my emotional well being with my mental well being. So kudos to Rob and Kris for helping me to grow.

Best wishes for a great paper, Jade.

Hi, Jade:
I just want to say i really enjoyed your article and i can't stop laugh to myself all the way through...

But I kinda agree with angelsrock0429 here...Yes, I am a heavy Robsten shipper and I have all the "symptoms" she described above!!

I love they way when they look at each other and smile at each other, and I do think Rob is drop-dead gorgeous and Kristen is stunning...but occassionally I would wish they stop smoking...hey, but who am I to have a say?

I DO believe they are a perfect couple, and I hope they last forever. If they do split one day it would break my heart, but I would accept that it is their choice.

And like angelsrock0429, I met tons of great friends though my obsession (yes, I admit). We love to discuss every trival things about them and squeek like little girls more than we should, but we are a group of female who are quite success in thier careers by some peoples' standard --I am a teacher and most of my friends are executives in big cooperations...so we just like to have some reality-tie-with-fantasy kind of fun, and we all wish Rob and Kristen all the happyness and joy in the world, so I think no harm in that.

And just for the record: I don't like Emilie de Ravin due to one of her characters in the past...it's purely a coincidence that she ended up been Rob's co-star. I think she did a wonderful job in Remember Me, but i still don't like her...so sue me!

Hi Jade,

Not sure if you're still keeping tabs on this thread, but a few observations / points of view you may want to consider.

How prevalent is the Kristen hate among Nonstens and to which degree are the hardcore Robstenites in one camp or the other (Kristen fans vs Rob fans). Are all hardcore Nonstens vilifying Kristen or is there a faction that actually likes her and thinks Robert is all wrong for her (this might be unlikely due to the gender demographics of this fandom)?

As to general behavior, to my very limited sampling, I would have to say that even rabid Kristen fans (among Robstenites) seem to be better behaved towards Rob than their Rob-loving Nonstens are towards Kristen.

Anyway, good luck with the paper. You've picked an interesting topic and the case study is of a very trendy topic, although you may have to spend some time framing the context of the study to you prof ;)
