No, but I don't really give a damn about Meyer. I'm more annoyed by the fact that girls (hell, even grown women for that matter) are continually vilified and sneered at for, horror of horrors, liking something. Or just being told that they're wrong and that they need to be protected from a book. As if noone in the world had ever liked something shit and problematic.

People can be idiots at all ages and being female doesn't mean you're exempt from people pointing out that you have shitty taste. And the main criticism is of the book, not of its young fans - it's generally accepted that kids often like crappy things.

Not really, kids can have much better tastes than adults. You either never meet a child like that or the CF has brainwashed you.

So you're saying that when you were a kid you never once liked something that, in retrospect, was terrible.

Liking something that's sit and problematic is fine if you're aware that it's problematic (totally not a problem to be blissfully unaware that something is shitty because that's objective anyway).

It's just a little frightening to see a lot of girls saying that they want a guy like Edward when so much of what he does is really, really, really scary and unhealthy.

Most kids who don't frequent social justice spaces on the internet don't even know what "problematic" means. I read loooots of books that were more problematic than Twilight in my teens (ever hear of the Black Jewels Trilogy? Good Lord, those books) for reasons that I did not pick up on at the time. I bet you know lots of perfectly healthy, functioning adults who did, too. It's not a new thing that began with and because of Twilight.

da

Yes, but I've never heard a person, in all seriousness, say they would love to be with a guy like Daemon.

The other difference: canon acknowledges Daemon, Lucivar, Saetan, etc. to be serial killers and psychopaths. Edward, on the other hand, is ~perfect~ and ~loyal~ and ~good~ and the sun shines out of his ass. Even though I'm pretty sure he's killed people too.

I didn't need social justice spaces to think that the whole "sneaking in her room to watch her sleep without her knowledge and/or consent" thing was fucking creepy.
