I'm thoroughly annoyed at the hate these books receive. I will never read them -- they are boring as fuck to me, but the objections to them really make me want to bash my head against the wall. It's fucking escapism. Next we'll have someone object to Bond based on the fact that it glorifies bad driving.

On a side note, I found the A to my B: I've never met a person who remotely resembled either fictional party, so I'll just assume you found some compatible person to fall mutually in love with. Yay for you.

I think it's perfectly understandable that teens like the stuff. It's a perfect self-insertable ugly duckling story with defanged romanticised vampires guaranteed not to frighten anyone and whose vampiristic attributes do nothing but enhance their allure. Very badly written, technically, but when you're young you often don't really care about that, or don't have enough reading experience to notice (I read just as bad and silly stuff when I was fourteen). Grown women should recognise the bad quality, I think, but as a guilty pleasure I can understand it.

I just wish people wouldn't equate it with "what women like" and "a female-oriented story". It's so bad! The romance is awful! I feel insulted.

I'm annoyed too. Mostly because you hardly see a hatedom pop up for media that attracts a large male or general audience. You will never see that Bond analogy play out.

Twilight is basically on par with average fanfic, quality and content wise. But apparently apparently escapism isn't a thing that counts outside of it? Someone better go tell Harlequin to shut down welp. Literature is clearly over.

Guys don't seem under the same kind of social pressure that makes them assume that everything consume has to be "good for them." They are allowed to freely admit things that look and feel good are awesome.

It'd be okay if the readers just took it as escapism and realized it's fiction, not a description of what an ideal relationship should look like IRL. My problem with those books are the idiots who actually base their real-life relationships, including abusive bahavior, on those books.

[velvet_mace]

Why is what someone else does with their real love life your problem? Doesn't this strike you that you are treating adult women as if they were incapable of taking responsibility for their own lives and choices? I mean the sheer idea behind this is layer upon layer of patronizing. You are essentially saying that an adult woman is incapable of understanding that they are in miserable relationship because they read a popular romance novel.
