As a fun game, read through the books, making notes on bits where Bella and Edward seem to have a good relationship and interest in each other, and where Alice and Bella have a good relationship. The lesbian overtones are stronger than the supposed main couple. Which I find funny. He.

Ha, I remember noticing this way back when I was reading the books.

This needs to be studied, documented, and written about. I suddenly feel very compelled to get past the first page of the first book I picked up for literary criticism. I happen to hate Stephanie Meyer's writing style so page one forced me to put down the book immediately.

We shall call it, "Lesbianism in Twilight".

We could also turn this in to a theory about how Meyers is projecting her own sexual desires within the book and so she might be in-the-closet bisexual.

It starts around book two or three I think. Can't remember though.

I would do it myself, but frankly I'm a lazy b*****d, so, you know, doesn't fit my character.

I'm going to have a ton of time on my hands for the next three weeks or so. I might actually consider not being overly lazy and doing this. We'll see how boring things get and whether Bayonetta shaking her a** on screen will ever stop entertaining me.

I'll also come up with a much more clever title. XD

Why Do People Take Twilight so Seriously? It's a Romance. It's Schluppy, Flat, Formulated and Delicious. It is The Whip Cream of The Literary World, Like ALL OTHER ROMANCES.

Bella isn't Any Different from The Stereotypical Disney Princess Character. I Liked her In The Same Way I Like Belle, Or Ariel, or Aurora (Until she Became a Hardcore Mary Sue). But Because She is a Character is a Romance Story She isn't Someone to Look Up to, To Model, or To Even Respect. She is a Character that Exists Solely for Vicarious Pleasure.

Even if that's the purpose, the books fail at THAT.

As much as I harped on Claiming of Sleeping Beauty elsewhere in this and compared it to Twilight, at least the former delivered on the smut. Twilight won't go that length, so to say it's merely to be harlequin romance style smut doesn't work either.

Twilight is Teen Christian Kid Smut. They Get the Rollercoaster Ride of a Romance Without Shaming themselves By Reading About Sexual Intimacy. It Goes through The Angst of Adolescence instead of The Woes of Womanhood. Twilight is the Marijuana of Romance. You Start There and Then Get into The Harder Stuff.

You see, PC, you are a smart person. You know that these characters are not characters worth modeling your life after in any way. Not every one else knows or understands this.

By the way, I like how you make everything you say a title. : D

Holy s**t! You're The First Person to actually Notice that I'm Not Capitalizing every word and Have Some Sembelance of Formula. Kudos!

And If People Who Read the Story Can't Understand It Then We Need to Address that Problem Instead of Blaming Twilight. Otherwise We Are Blaming a Symptom instead of Treating the Disease.

Lol, really? XD I thought it was kind of obvious and kept meaning to say it and forgetting.

Yes, this is true. It's nothing new that women idolize this s**t. It all started with Disney.

D:< I know! I'm always surprised when older people say they still like Disney. I was sick of their movies by age 9. I swear they have like the same fight/conflict scene rehashed in most of their newer movies.

It's very hard to get me to have interest in children movies but Toy Story 3 was really good and Despicable Me was also surprisingly good. Despicable Me isn't Disney though.

The most awesome thing about this thread is now my political opponents are randomly asking "Have you even read Twilight?" Good to know the quality of people I am debating with.
