My thoughts on the matter. (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,21093.0.html)
Did that picture merit a whole thread? I know any Twilight thread is going to end with it being ripped apart and shat on and I would probably be one of the people pointing out how terrible it is, but seriously, couldn't that have gone in the pointless thread (where it has actually already been posted before anyway)? What did you want to come out of this thread?
Also, the New Moon movie was ridiculously, hilariously, stupid.
I do however virulently hate Twilight because it's not just a really poorly written book with a lot of creepily dedicated fans (bad enough, but certainly nothing new) but because it's a book aimed at young girls which glorifies a lot of really unhealthy attitudes towards relationships, sex and self-worth. All of the fuss over Harry Potter gave me the shits but I think Twilight is actually harmful to society, so it nspires more than the usual vitriol.

QuoteAll of the fuss over Harry Potter gave me the shits but I think Twilight is actually harmful to society, so it inspires more than the usual vitriol.
Please. Twilight's as harmful to society as Harry Potter, Jane Eyre, Transformers, or Star Wars.
Bella spends the rest of the book going crazy, imagining Edward's voice and partaking in ever more self-destructive activities. During this time she befriends Jacob Black, who turns out to be a werewolf but is still way better for her than Edward. She finally regains Edward's attention after she deliberately jumps off a cliff and almost dies. Edward, being a thirteen-year-old girl, thinks Bella has died and goes to Italy to commit suicide. He attempts to do this by exposing himself to the sun at noon in an Italian town. Since sunlight doesn't actually harm Twilight vampires, one must assume that Edward is hoping some macho Italians will see him in at full sparkle and beat him to death for being gay.
Bella teams up with Edward's sister Alice, who turns out to be straight and taken but is still way better for her than Edward, to rescue her ex from his emoness. After a crazy mix up that finds Bella and Edward temporarily in an Anne Rice novel, Edward reaccepts her.
This novel thus teaches two important lessons to young girls everywhere:
1) If a guy dumps you and says he doesn't love you anymore, he doesn't mean it. All you have to do is beg and destroy your life to prove that you really love him, and he'll come right back and love you even more!
2) It is perfectly cool to string along innocent but decent guys who are crushing on you and then dump them immediately as soon as your ex-boyfriend reappears, and totally normal if said ex-boyfriend forbids you from seeing your old friend. After all, your love for your ex must be far stronger, because he makes you feel 'alive' and 'dangerous' since he's always on the verge of killing you. And stalking you. We can't really mention that enough.
The plot revolves around a villain from the first book, who is stalking Bella. But this is just a background to the real plot, which is about Edward stalking Bella. The book focuses on the choice Bella must make between Jacob Black and Edward Cullen, two tall, good-looking, devoted men with cool supernatural abilities. This is exactly the kind of problem that normal women face every day.
Halfway through, Stephenie Meyer realizes that Jacob Black is far cooler than Edward and performs a quick character assassination by having him mouth-rape her. Bella punches him and runs away, but later discovers she loves him, which teaches us more lessons:
1) If a girl says she doesn't love you, just keep sexually assaulting her. Eventually she'll realize she likes it.
2) Leading two guys on for years because you 'love them both' is perfectly acceptable, as long as you feel really bad about it at some point.
Right before they have sex, Meyer remembers that she's writing out her fantasies for an audience now, and so she abruptly pulls a PG-13 "fade-to-black", disappointing any male Twilight fans who were hoping for a closer look at Edward.
When Bella wakes up, she is covered in feathers because the sex was so rough and passionate that Edward bit a pillow. Then Edward points out that Bella is covered in bruises. She brushes off his concern and then the two of them whine about how unhappy they are now because they've made each other unhappy by being unhappy, and then we kind of stopped reading for a couple of minutes. But we learned a few more things:
1) It doesn't matter if he hurts you
2) He only did it because he loves you.
Excluding all the questionable sex, you might start to think that maybe this book isn't an entirely bad influence on teenage girls, with its 'don't go to bed with anyone unless he has proven that he loves you' message. And then Stephenie Meyer takes that trust, uses it to get your address and credit card numbers, and then breaks into your house and poisons your dog.
Man, that is some bull shit. After reading a book, most people do not go on to lead their life as if they were the lead character of the book. Those are good arguments when discussing Twilight as a literary work (and possibly when discussing the mind of Stephanie Meyer), but I think calling the books "detrimental to society" is way harsh. In this way you could argue that Agatha Christie novels are detrimental to society because it presents murder as an upper-class puzzle game.

Large amounts of people aren't creepily obsessed with Agatha Christie books (as far as I know), either.
Yesterday night I couldnt go to sleep because my crush had denied me so I grabbed my Eclipse book and read where Edward said “You are the only one who has touched my heart, It will always be yours, sleep my only love.” and I pretended I was Bella and cried myself to sleep. Edward is perfect. MLIT
Yesterday morning, I told my boyfriend that he should come into my house through my window like Edward to watch me sleep. He did. MLIT!!
Sigh...I'm seriously considering breaking up with my boyfriend of 4 years because I want to be loved the way Edward loves Bella. Does that even exist anymore?
Today, I had to have blood drawn. When I very nearly fainted afterwards (much like Bella and blood-typing), I secretly wished Edward would appear to carry me and cool my head with his icy hands. MLIT.
Probably each other's to avoid contaminating anyone else.

Agatha Christie books aren't targeted at tweens.
er, neither are the Twilight books, dude.
Of course it does, but the article linked says that the book "teaches young girls a lesson", which is different from the subtle influence a single movie or book is likely to have on your views - the word "teaching" makes it sound a) as if Meyer has gone out of her way to labor the point, that this is something she actually wants to get across, rather than simply being the result of her being a terrible writer,
This is going to make such a great plot twist for my fanfic, thanks Liz.

I guess if the books were written even half-competently I wouldn't have half the beef with them I do now. It's the combined frustration with poor storytelling and distaste of rabid, obsessive fandom that really irks me.
Bella is more of a freak than Edward.
That's rather different though, since that aspect of the books isn't practical to emulate. Even if you did decide to be like Poirot people are unlikely to start mysteriously dying every time you go on holiday and attempts to involve yourself in any cases that do arise will be quashed due to your unfortunate lack of an international reputation as a Belgian super-sleuth with a superb moustache.
The thing that bugs me more than anything else, is that the book, "The Host", proves that Stephenie Meyer can actually write a good story. The Host is vastly far and above Twilight in every single way
TVTropes

Another sigh swept through the halls of Hogwarts. "Oh, Merlin. That feels so good." His rapture turned to fright as he felt a tentacle work its way into a second window. "I don't--"
"Trust me. It'll feel good. Remember this?" He pulled the suction cups a little harder and Hogwarts groaned.
"Do that again."
Also Ikrik, It's completely possible to love a book personally, but hate it in every way critically. That might be what your old roommate is doing.
Oh and I'm reading the partial manuscript for Midnight Sun. I'm on page 12 and it's ridiculously entertaining. Meyer released it so you can just google it and get the manuscript. I highly recommend it, hilarious. I would quote some of it but it's really just all horrible.Can you find it on her site? I thought it got leaked all over the place and she threw a bitchfit and quit writing, I didn't know she put it up.
surely you don't think culture has no effect on people's behaviour or thinking?Culture influences people in sort of the same way that guns kill people. Which is to say, culture influences people, but I can stick my fingers in my ears and go "na na na na" so really who's to say that culture influences people? It's like that flavored powder you put in your water. It's a part of every drink you take but it doesn't really add anything. We can pay lip service to the fact that people's behavior is influenced by outside forces yet in so very few cases are those outside forces really a factor. To have them actually up space is to render us supremely uncomfortable about our power over ourselves.
Caleb, you are a librarian, right? What have you seen with regards to Twilight's demographic (unless you already said it and I missed it, in which case point it out)?

So it might be the case that women are perpetually bombarded by messages about how the shame they should feel over their bodies and their desires and about what they should sacrifice in the name of love, but ultimately their feelings are their own responsibility, or more likely the responsibility of the parent whose actions are apparently the only factor in the entire system of influences that could have been meaningfully different, bringing it back down again to a single person's arbritary choice, conveniently enough the choice of the person with the least cumulative power. Problems with body image? Just another type of narcissism. Keep dating bad guys? Just have to pick them better next time. Addiction? It's all about how much you want to stay clean. At no point does a game or a book or your memories of your dad beating the shit out of your mom make it impossible for you to choose, thus all of these things are ultimately worthless when we're talking about influence.
I didn't sleep well that night, even after I was done crying. The constant whooshing of the rain and wind across the roof wouldn't fade into the background. I pulled the faded old quilt over my head, and later added the pillow, too. But I couldn't fall asleep until after midnight, when the rain finally settled into a quieter drizzle.
Thick fog was all I could see out my window in the morning, and I could feel the claustrophobia creeping up on me. You could never see the sky here; it was like a cage.
Breakfast with Charlie was a quiet event. He wished me good luck at school. I thanked him, knowing his hope was wasted. Good luck tended to avoid me. Charlie left first, off to the police station that was his wife and family. After he left, I sat at the old square oak table in one of the three unmatching chairs and examined his small kitchen, with its dark paneled walls, bright yellow cabinets, and white linoleum floor. Nothing was changed. My mother had painted the cabinets eighteen years ago in an attempt to bring some sunshine into the house. Over the small fireplace in the adjoining handkerchief-sized family room was a row of pictures. First a wedding picture of Charlie and my mom in Las Vegas, then one of the three of us in the hospital after I was born, taken by a helpful nurse, followed by the procession of my school pictures up to last year's. Those were embarrassing to look at -- I would have to see what I could do to get Charlie to put them somewhere else, at least while I was living here.
It was impossible, being in this house, not to realize that Charlie had never gotten over my mom. It made me uncomfortable.
I didn't want to be too early to school, but I couldn't stay in the house anymore. I donned my jacket -- which had the feel of a biohazard suit -- and headed out into the rain.
It was just drizzling still, not enough to soak me through immediately as I reached for the house key that was always hidden under the eaves by the door, and locked up. The sloshing of my new waterproof boots was unnerving. I missed the normal crunch of gravel as I walked. I couldn't pause and admire my truck again as I wanted; I was in a hurry to get out of the misty wet that swirled around my head and clung to my hair under my hood.
Inside the truck, it was nice and dry. Either Billy or Charlie had obviously cleaned it up, but the tan upholstered seats still smelled faintly of tobacco, gasoline, and peppermint. The engine started quickly, to my relief, but loudly, roaring to life and then idling at top volume. Well, a truck this old was bound to have a flaw. The antique radio worked, a plus that I hadn't expected.
Finding the school wasn't difficult, though I'd never been there before. The school was, like most other things, just off the highway. It was not obvious that it was a school; only the sign, which declared it to be the Forks High School, made me stop. It looked like a collection of matching houses, built with maroon-colored bricks. There were so many trees and shrubs I couldn't see its size at first. Where was the feel of the institution? I wondered nostalgically. Where were the chain-link fences, the metal detectors?
I parked in front of the first building, which had a small sign over the door reading FRONT OFFICE. No one else was parked there, so I was sure it was off limits, but I decided I would get directions inside instead of circling around in the rain like an idiot. I stepped unwillingly out of the toasty truck cab and walked down a little stone path lined with dark hedges. I took a deep breath before opening the door.
Inside, it was brightly lit, and warmer than I'd hoped. The office was small; a little waiting area with padded folding chairs, orange-flecked commercial carpet, notices and awards cluttering the walls, a big clock ticking loudly. Plants grew everywhere in large plastic pots, as if there wasn't enough greenery outside. The room was cut in half by a long counter, cluttered with wire baskets full of papers and brightly colored flyers taped to its front. There were three desks behind the counter, one of which was manned by a large, red-haired woman wearing glasses. She was wearing a purple t-shirt, which immediately made me feel overdressed.
The red-haired woman looked up. "Can I help you?"
"I'm Isabella Swan," I informed her, and saw the immediate awareness light her eyes. I was expected, a topic of gossip no doubt. Daughter of the Chief's flighty ex-wife, come home at last.
"Of course," she said. She dug through a precariously stacked pile of documents on her desk till she found the ones she was looking for. "I have your schedule right here, and a map of the school." She brought several sheets to the counter to show me.
He leaned away and looked me in the eye. "We're going to get that thing out before it can hurt any part of you. Don't be scared. I won't let it hurt you
"That thing?" I gasped.
He looked sharply away from me, toward the front door. "Dammit! I forgot Gustavo was due today. I'll get rid of him and be right back." He darted out of the room.
I clutched the counter for support. My knees were wobbly.
Edward had just called my little nudger a thing He said Carlisle would get it out.
"No," I whispered.
I'd gotten it wrong before. He didn't care about the baby at all. He wanted to hurt him. The beautiful picture in my head shifted abruptly, changed into something dark. My pretty baby crying, my weak arms not enough to protect him...
I see your fifteen minutes and I raise you New Moon in a Minute (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bXeQ7baYEE).
I'm starting to feel like the backlash is more tedious than the films and books could possibly be.
"Ten"?
Well, uh, it's not that hard. When you're writing, you have all the time in the world to do research and design the dialogue.
They're documenting the attacks to show how horrible they are. They're not saying "hey, let's show those anti-sparklers that we mean business." It's a "holy fucking shit Twilight fans are fucking scary." I'm not sure I really want to read through all of this, it's incredibly depressing. That said, if I saw anyone being attacked by a twilight fan, the sparkle lover would get dropped hard. Attacking someone because they don't like and insult Twilight is one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard of in my life.

-Stephanie Meyer has no knowledge of science. Humans have 24 chromosomes, Werewolves have 25 and Vampires have 26. For some strange reason this is revealed.So having Downs Syndrome gives you superpowers? Sweet, I always knew they were hiding something.
Who hasn't thought of a girl and gone "wow, he's/she's a lot like *character from a book* maybe I should get her/his number."Me. I'm an outlier for most of those questions, though.
-In Stephanie Meyers world, pedophilia is totally ok. Werewolves imprint themselves on people and that basically means that they fall in love with them forever, ever. The two times that's happened in the books so far have been with babies. These are like...16 year old boys (I think) who are in love with newborns. Meyer tries to make it sound natural but it just comes off as super creepy.
The sound you hear is Vlad Tepes breaking the fuck out of his Coffin to seek vengeance.

She almost brags that she purposefully didn't do any research on vampires before she started writing...
That is not how science works lady, come on.
She almost brags that she purposefully didn't do any research on vampires before she started writing...
Actually, I rather like that idea. What she ended up with was crap, but it's not like we're talking about something that exists outside of fantasy so it's not like the vampire anti-defamation league is going to get pissed by your insensitivity when you come up with something different to what everyone else has, which is what she did. It just wasn't a good thing, but that's the fault of her bad writing. The idea's sound.
I would want to do my best to research whatever it is I'm doing because then I can not only pay respect to the classic mythology but can also change them in such a way that suits me but still stays true to the creature.That assumes you think there's value to staying true to the creature. Effectively saying that "This creature is what the term vampire has been alluding to all these years," isn't really bad writing in and of itself, particularly when you consider that the modern vampire is a chimera stitched together from all manner of different legends. In this case staying true is hardly even possible anyway.
Vampires being creepy creepsters instead of really cool isn't necessarily a bad concept in and of itself. I just think Meyer was too crappy of a writer to pull it off well.

Her work is much better on many levels that she did not intend at all than the one she did, such as the "Edward is an extremely awkward 108 year old virgin" standpoint, and the "Bella is the emotionally manipulative villain" standpoint
So did you intentionally misread my post? I said extremely awkward, the book tries to make him look like a perfect Greek god made (diamond-fragment-covered) flesh. It works better when he is thought of more realistically (repressed as hell).Her work is much better on many levels that she did not intend at all than the one she did, such as the "Edward is an extremely awkward 108 year old virgin" standpoint, and the "Bella is the emotionally manipulative villain" standpoint
No. Nope. Sorry. The Twilight Saga is about as complex as a toothpick. The whole Edward is an extremely awkward virgin is true, we kind of know that, the allegory is obvious. Stephanie Meyer stated it a bunch in interviews and I'm sure it's spelled out in the book at some point. They have to stay virgins because otherwise their beautiful relationship just won't work, as much as Bella thinks otherwise.
And seriously, give me some quotes for how Bella is an emotionally manipulative villian. Hell, give me some quotes about how Bella is even a character who has any kind of personality traits at all. There is nothing there to her character, I read through all of...Breaking Dawn and the most I can come up with is that she loves Edward with all of her heart, loves Jacob Black...but only as a friend, and wants to keep her freak-child.....of whom she calls Renesmee but everyone calls her Nessie.

Damn.
I guess I really didn't get how hardcore fans of the series actually are until I stumbled upon this. This is dedication.
I am not surprised by the quality of those tattoos. The art ones are horrible and the text ones are mostly boring. When I first went to that page I looked at the scrollbar and went "wtf?" until I found out that most of the page are comments.
For the sake of asking, how much would it cost these poor people to get these removed in like 6-9 years when Twilight is dead and forgotten?
I think the shading on that looks great. It looks just like a real apple's skin. I was there was a better picture of it so you could see that it's not as scratchy as you are probably assuming. And none of those are that poorly done. I mean, honestly, can't you guys separate poor quality vs poor content?

i guess all the people i know just have really insanely awesome tattoos. it really isn't the content, those just look like bland tattoos compared to what i'm used to seeing.
here let me find an example.
I wouldn't say that's an example of a good tattoo while you're trying to say the other ones aren't. Really, not many of the ones on that site did it for me, but the one Emaline commented on is more interesting than that one. I'm not knocking the line work or anything, the picture is too small to judge it by, but it's not very detailed or elaborate, which I think is what the others are trying to say. And seriously I'd recommend looking at the tattoo thread in Pony Debates because there are some amazing tattoos in there that the one you posted doesn't even hold a candle to.
I'm an artist. I like things to be visually engaging. I honestly don't mind tribal tattoos, I just think they're banal. I honestly like simple black tattoos over very colorful ones, but I happen to think there's more interesting work out there. Like this (http://img.yourmeatismine.com/image/3989.jpg)
