I don't understand Twilight. Really.
Why would Stephanie Meyer unleash such a horror on the world? I mean, it's horribly written, anti-feminist, and glamorizes an abusive relationship.
The abusive relationship thing. You know what really scares me about this? That the book was aimed toward girls ages 11-15. Yea, this anti-feminist piece of crap was aimed toward little girls. This book, whether intended or not, depicts an abusive relationship. I mean, Edward is watching Bella while she's sleeping, breaks her car so she can't see her best friend, had her kidnapped and baby-sat against her will. All under the guise of "Edward's just protective...".
I heard someone actually say this on Friday. It scares me. Do you really want little girls reading this? I'm just waiting for the fifth book in which Bella find a way to explain her bruises. "Edward's just protective..."
People compare this piece of shit to Harry Potter. What. The. Fuck?
Why?
I mean I was there when Harry Potter mania started. I was already a fan of the series, but still. Harry Potter was a good book. Not literary crap.
I just read this:
Each book in the series was inspired by and loosely based on a different literary classic: Twilight on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice; New Moon on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet; Eclipse on Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights; and Breaking Dawn on a second Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night's Dream.

The bitch just insulted me! I sincerely feel insulted!
How dare they compare "New Moon" to "Romeo and Juliet"! It's bullshit! "A Midsummer Night's Dream", too! WTF?
....
Okay. I'm calm.
Her vampires are glittery crap. I mean, I wouldn't be so opposed to them IF she had done research. She did absolutely no research. I mean who does that?! She hasn't read Dracula, or anyone else's depictions of vampires! Even if she didn't want to read (it might hurt her head!) there's this new thing, they call it the Internet. You go to this site called "Google" you type what you need info on, and presto! You have it. USE IT!
I detest Twilight fans (to which I lovingly refer to as "Twatlighters"). They say they love vampires, but Twilight vampires aren't vampires! Vampires have to:
- Not sparkle.
- Have a natural aversion to crosses. It's a must.
- Have fangs.
- NOT SPARKLE!!!!
- Weaknesses, since Steph's vamps could obviously take over the world.
- ...did I mention CAN'T SPARKLE!!!!
They are "wampires". They're nothing, and a complete and utter brain-fart.
This is it. I'm done trashing Twilight for today. So, all of you "future Mrs. Cullens"....have fun with your abusive husband, mkay?
Thank You, Steph, for unleashing this horrible plague upon the world.
