Twihards are creepy.. - Page 4

And to give people an understanding of why we don't like Edward Cullen/Twilight, I'll at least give my perspective. I can't talk for others but this is how I feel.

I have no problem with Twilight as a series itself, neither do I have a problem with Stephenie Meyer as an author. We can't rule out the fact that though her writing may be amateur, it does contain some kind of substance since it attracted many people.

The reason I do not like Edward Cullen is not because he's a character with no flaws or that he's perfect. I don't know why people complain so much about faultless characters in fiction, since that's what it is...fiction. There's nothing wrong with Stephenie Meyer writing about her dream guy and not giving him faults. It's her story, she can write about what kind of people she wants. Heck, I love characters in other fictions who critics label as "faultless" and "too perfect to be true", who doesn't want to read about a perfect guy from time to time?

But (don't think by my rant that I like Edward by the way...I don't. If anything, I'm Team Jacob)....it's Edward's wrong actions which are not only condoned by the author, but praised instead that tick me off. SM made him stalk Bella at night and watch her sleep...which is plain creepy creepy creepy. And is Bella disturbed by that? Of course not, because that's just so dreamy.🤔 And his over-dominating attitude, over-protectiveness, and the way he bosses Bella around all indicate that there's a possibility he'll become abusive in the future. This is not only unhealthy boyfriend material, but should be condemned by the author in the form of other characters' criticisms. Does that happen? No. That clearly means that Edward's attitude should be taken as the norm for the ideal boyfriend, since SM herself says she wrote Edward to get across to her audience the perfect guy.

And Jacob on the other hand...he had great potential to outshine all the others in the story. New Moon actually became interesting to read because of him. His background, the history about werewolves, and his friends (who were really interesting by the way) all made the storyline normal for once, but once SM realized that Jacob's real personality would outshine her Edward's, she had to use the easy way out to make him the "bad guy", and ultimately ruined her story again.

Sorry guys, but if you haven't noticed by now, I don't like Twilight very much because SM ruined Jacob's character, and if you haven't noticed by my rant, I'm Team Jacob if I have to be Team something. Edward just makes me so annoyed.

One main reason I like Harry Potter over Twilight: Harry Potter's morals are easy to relate to because they're closer to the morals taught in my culture than Twilight. HP talks about how good will always triumph over evil, and how true love does not make one selfish that they ignore others in life (*cough* *cough* Bella), and how friendship, trust, loyalty, and love (in all forms) are more important than our own interests. I'm sorry, but HP reminds me of Ramayan and Mahabharat, which are very close to my heart, in its morals and intricate storyline, while Twilight goes away from them and everything I've learned in my culture. I can't learn to love a book which teaches me to be selfish in love.

Are there any Team Jacob's here?

I agree with all of the points you have written above but the only one I don't agree with is that it doesn't matter if Edward is perfect. It DOES matter to me. Even though I know it's a fictional character but still there has to be something in him that I can relate with and the thing that ticks me off the most is HE IS SO NOT PERFECT and his fans annoy me with rant about his perfectness. There are just too many things out that there that he does that makes him no where close to being perfect. A perfect person WOULD NOT be stalking a girl who is almost a century younger than him no matter what the circustances are. It's his stalkerish ways that put me off him completely and the fact that so many people believe it's romantic the way he watches her sleep at night🤢🤢🤢 I am sorry but that thought completely sickens me🤢🤢🤢 I don't see anything romantic in a stranger watching you sleep at night. I would have held the same opinion even if it was Jacob who was stalking her this way. And the reason Meyer doesn't point this out to be wrong completely bewilders me and makes me hate her as an author because she justifies his stalkerish ways. Furthermore, she RUINS Jacob's character. I am sorry but him imprinting a new born is something that I cannot digest. That is completely sick🤢🤢🤢 Acceptance of such behaviour of these twilight characters truly make me question SM's personality herself😳
