Take a shot every time the fandom complains about Hunger Games being mentioned with Twilight

To all the "true fans" of the Hunger Games
I understand that you don’t like it when people go the whole “Team Gale” or “Team Peeta” route, but guess what? Everyone who liked the books and wants to talk about them IS a true fan.
