152. My problem with Twilight had more to do with Edward's creepy obsession with Bella than with her apparent Mary Sueness. I mean, I'm all for creepy, obsessive, one-sided romance in fiction (Phantom of the Opera, FTW!) but not when they're portrayed like a happily ever after. Edward is bad news from the start, but for some reason, nothing he does is considered bad or wrong in any way. It sends this weird message that it's okay for a guy to stalk you and control your life, so long as he's got pretty eyes.

That's what squicked me out of Twilight. And the way the fans react when you try to explain this to them is even freakier. "But it's okay, because he's Edward!" And the way so many people seem to want this guy in their lives? Seriously? If I saw Edward Cullen, I'd run screaming in the opposite direction.

Now, if that were the point...

Inorite? One of my younger sisters answers with stuff like, "He only tore the engine out of Bella's car because he want to protect her." DX WHUT?

Seriously. I don't care if people like it, but to say that Bella and Edward have a healthy, loving relationship? Oh hell no.

Yeah, that. Frollo and the Phantom are great fun, but that's because they're supposed to be creepy and obsessive, not perfect and loving!

Yeah, see, that was my problem, too. And Jacob, who was a whiny, spoiled jerk after a while, and the girls fawning over him, too. It just weirds me out that these men are considered "ideal." When I hear a fangirl say they want an Edward or a Jacob, I just look at them and wonder what was missing in their life in order for them to see that kind of relationship as healthy and good.

I mean, in all honesty, I'm all for fucked-up relationships. Of course I am. House/Wilson is my OTP. But there's a difference between loving fucked-up relationships in fandom, and wanting one in reality.
