- I think people who post controversial stuff publicly on facebook (IF they don't always post publicly) do so because they hope it means no one will want to publicly get into an argument with them.

- This is actually an old conspiracy theory, but I always kind of thought Stephenie Meyer intended for Twilight to be a parody of the vampire genre, and at the end of the series Bella would dump both Jacob and Edward and point out how creepy they were.

Although I suppose the theory still holds some ground if you consider that the hype made her hesitant to go there, so she played it straight instead.

I don't think Stephenie Meyer wrote the books as parodies at all, but I do think her critics took the books more seriously than they were meant to be taken. They were criticized for being teen romance novels with vampires when that was the entire point.

Didn't Meyer famously claim she'd never read any of the classic vampire literature, though? It seems odd that you'd plan an elaborate parody if you didn't even care about the genre beforehand.
