FACT. I've gotten into Bella conversations with a few fans, and they all reacted the same way. I was a little afraid for my life. The ones I talked to all took any criticism of her so personally. I just don't understand how you could see her as a sympathetic character. I really, really don't.

This series legit scares and confuses me. Yikes.

Agreed, I tried a perfectly reasonable argument with one the other day and was accused of in seconds of attacking the person's own character when all I asked was a reason to NOT believe Bella was a Mary Sue. It was incredible - and a little scary.

And there are some things about the character that just basically can't be argued or debated. But they will try. And they do get really really heated! I usually have to just walk away, because they can't concede even the littlest point!

I recently finished reading the series and decided to peruse the author's website to see what she had to say about them. In one place she had "What does Bella look like? (http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight_faq.html#bella)" in the FAQ. She said she'd deliberately been vague about it, so that the reader could imagine themselves in Bella's place. (Hence the lack of male fans of the series, I imagine.)

And then, goes on to describe HER vision of Bella. WHICH LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HER. I actually found it very creepy. Who wants to bet that the ~dream~ that started it all was her with a vampire?

Point being: Mary Sue characters are appealing for people who want to be... Mary Sue. Which is a huge chunk of girls between the age of 13-25, I think.
