THIS is a legitimate reason to think Twilight is problematic. Not “oooh, but it’s girly literature cause the vampires sparkle and all the teen girls are into Edward”. As funny as some of the sparkly vampires jokes are - and they really sometimes are - Twilight’s very unique take on vampires is the least of the series’ problems, yet this criticism gets heard a lot more than the criticism of people who have noticed that something isn’t quite right in the relationship between Edward and Bella. I brought this up every chance I had when I was working with the youth theatre girls this summer. There was one in particular who was way gaga over Edward and how she wanted a boyfriend just like him, so I told her “Oh, you’d be ok with a guy who followed you everywhere, invaded your privacy, ignored your feelings, sabotaged your friendships, and isolated you from everyone you’ve ever loved? And nearly killed you on several occasions?” And I literally watched the switch flip in her head. This is why I hate the books, Edward scared the crap out me. He stalked her, broke her car many times, put her in danger, and so much more. Which is why 50 Shades of Repetitive Abuse is even worse. Christian and Ana’s relationship (Which is of course based on Edward and Bella) has ALL OF THESE ISSUES, plus the added dangers of BDSM when placed in the wrong hands. -- source link
