Twilight Madness

Okay, I've been to a few writer's critique groups, and there's been one prevailing theme: You're not a good writer if you like Twilight.
Now, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but one of the things that makes my blood boil is the fact that most of the people bashing these books never even READ them! It makes me wonder what they're going to say about the writing I bring to them to critique. Are they going to read the first few lines, realize it's Teen YA and stop reading, reducing it in their minds to "Twilight Trash"? I know I'm not Hemmingway, and I have no inclination to be Hemmingway. I like to write about paranormal things, and teenagers. Does that mean I'm not fit to have my writing critiqued? Does that make me less of a writer, because I like to write about witches rather than Iraq? Or ghosts rather than an epic battle in outer space?
Is one strong personality in the group going to set the tone for all of the critiques I receive? I really, really want someone to look at my work, but I also don't want someone to hate it because it's in a genre they hate, or it reminds them of something they think they hate. On the flip side, I don't want someone to like it just because it's in the genre they love, or because I know them.
I guess trying to find objectivity is a hard thing to do, nowadays.
