Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

All the concern about twilight fans knowing that their book promotes unhealthy relationships is pretty weird to me too. No one cares when that happens in anything.

Agree with this. I'm over the 'Twilight' bashing, and '50 Shades' bashing, too, for that matter. I'm not a fan of the 'Twilight' series-tried reading it and couldn't even finish the series as a whole. And the most I've read out of '50 Shades' is whatever lines people quote online when discussing the book. From the description of that series, it doesn't sound like my thing at all.

And I fully agree that the relationships in those series are (or sound, from what I've heard about '50 Shades') incredibly fucked up and unhealthy. Not going to argue with the criticisms of the stories themselves-they're all valid.

But we can criticize the relationships in those books all we want, we can get people to stop reading them as much as possible...and abusive relationships are still going to be a thing in real life. They existed well before those books were written, and will still exist whether those books do or not, or whether people read them or not. By going after those books, people are only tackling a symptom of the problem instead of addressing the actual root of it.

It's certainly fine to critique the books, of course. It's also perfectly fine to address and discuss the screwed up attitudes and actions in them. But people need to stop acting like books glorifying screwed up relationships and beliefs is some sort of new thing, or that people who read them won't be able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality and think for themselves, or automatically condone/endorse the actions and beliefs in the stories, or whatever.
