This isn't a perfect analogy(and you seem to be aware of that). Most importantly, I think, is the difference between blaming the media for someone's actions and blaming it for perpetuating negative attitudes. The latter is a fairer criticism, I think. That's also something you can apply to violence in the media.

I also think it's more productive to think about what the existing attitudes the media perpetuates. Twilight didn't invent abusive relationships or the "bad boy" trope, by any means. But it is using a trope that a lot of people feel stems from unhealthy relation ideals (and helps perpetuate them).

None of that means it's wrong to enjoy Twilight (or violent media). But it's interesting to think about where some tropes come from and why they endure for so long.
