Yes, Twilight is sexist, but I see it criticised most for having bad writing, bad storytelling, and bad characters.

Okay, I'm not trying to be hostile, I'm just very frustrated: On what planet are people living on where the biggest complaints about Twilight are from a feminist and literary perspective? The ONLY complaints I hear about twilight offline are 1) the fans are too obsessive and 2) it's romantic and icky and Edward sparkles like *insert gay slur here*. That's it. It's all either "bitches be crazy" or "Edward is gay and romance is for icky icky girls with cooties".
Is it just that I'm in high school that these are the main criticisms I'm hearing? Probably not, cause I've heard it from grown men, too. Just.... ugh, most people who hate twilight don't give a shit about writing or sexism. That doesn't make the literary and feminist criticisms less valid, but it is a reason to criticize the "wooohooo Twilight sucks" bandwagon, because it's guilty of an assload of sexism, as well as homophobia and femmephobia, too.

Livejournal and Tumblr.

I was in high school when Titanic came out, and somehow my English class ended up debating the movie's merits one day. A few of the hardcore nerds hadn't seen it and had no opinion, but as far as I could tell all the girls liked it and all the boys hated it.

My clearest memory of the discussion is the ferocious insistence that Leonardo DiCaprio was gay. I indignantly responded that that had nothing to do with anything. They conceded that it was irrelevant to the movie, but maintained that he had to be gay. I was very, very confused.

Oh God, English class debates. I can definitely relate to high-school you, I'm in high school myself now and the fact that "gayyyyy" is still a relevant argument in anything ever is depressing.
I saw Titanic in 3D a while ago. One guy we were with had never seen it before and said after it ended, sort of unsurely ".... Well, maybe I'm a pussy, but I liked that."
