I'm already kind of embarrassed by having posted this, since it's an unfair comparison--Twilight is much easier to credit with promoting abuse than Manson is with promoting indiscriminate violence. In my defense, what set me off was that people literally used the same sentences to condemn them (e.g. "Most teens won't [get into an abusive relationship/kill people] after [reading/listening] to this, but some of them will.")

Hi OP -- at least you recognized the inherent fallacy.

[saiika_von_maou]

Lol. No worries. Faulty analogy aside, I do think you made a fairly good point. People should take responsibility for their own actions and understand the real issues, rather than, as you said, finding a scapegoat.

[forgottenjester]

Oh, hey OP. I missed you for a second and for some reason thought you were just another anon.

Eh, it's okay. Everyone makes reaching statements sometimes. At least you did it here anonymously instead of in real life in front of people you were trying to impress or something. It's great that you recognize what's wrong with the statement.

I hope everything goes well for you.

[al28894]

Well, at least you recognize the fallacy of your point, even though it's partly valid.

Well, as a Twilight fan, I actually agreed with your secret!

Twilight is escapist reading, and Twilight fans want Bella's life the same way James Bond fans want James Bond's life, which is to say, they might say they want it but they're not really serious, and if you ask them if they really, truly, want to get shot at all the time and have all their girlfriends die horribly (or have a boyfriend who sneaks into the house and watches them sleep) they will say no.

But because most Twilight fans are girls, people freak the fuck out in ways that they would never freak out about James Bond or any of the dozens of other fantasy characters that primarily straight boys and men identify with who have terrible relationship and dating strategies (and horrifying personal and professional lives) that nobody should ever emulate.

The vast majority of people who read Twilight know it's a fantasy and don't actually plan their lives around it.

Besides, if we're going to ban books that mess up people's lives when taken too seriously, the vast majority of religious scriptures, not to mention everything ever written by Ayn Rand and Robert Heinlein, go first. (Note: I'm not an atheist and I actually enjoy Rand and Heinlein, I just don't think they're a good basis for politics or economics, so please don't flame me in defence of them.)
