I don't have a problem with Twilight and I find people who go out of their way to bash it to be "fucking retarded fanboy dipshits," to be politically correct.
Steph Meyer seems like a perfectly nice woman and the kind of snide remarks coming outta other authors like Stephen King reek of 100% Grade-A jealousy. What, because her being a gazillionaire is fucking suddenly stopping your world or something, King? Go fuck yourself and "retire" again...then write shitty movie-reviews for Entertainment Weekly. Seriously if she wasn't Mormon, we wouldn't hear shit from anyone and this "Bella is a terrible role model for girls" bullshit. IT'S ABOUT GODDAMN VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES. Where does any of these characters being "role models" come into equation? Not to mention, isn't her fucking character like 17-18 years old? You know many kids that age who weren't total self-obsessed asses? I love Superman and Indiana Jones but you don't see me personally aspiring to be like them BECAUSE THEY'RE FUCKING MAKE BELIEVE!
Let those fangirls have their fun and go back to playing with your Transformers action figures is how I see it.
That said...the werewolf falling in love with a baby? Yeah, there's no way to spin that. That is fucked. up.
Twilight is offensive as fuck to women. I was appalled when I finally saw one of them. I thought all the shit I had read or heard or was hyperbole, but no it's not. That franchise boils down to "you're a woman, shut up, stand there, and measure your worth by the boys that inexplicably desire you."
