So I came across Lindsey Ellis's "Dear Stephanie Meyer" on youtube, uploaded january 2018. Her message is that Twilight was unfairly attacked just for being a slightly silly and non-self-aware wish fulfillment fantasy marketed toward women. I just want to ask you, who seem to be part of the resurgent Twilight fan community if you're familiar with that video, and if indeed it began the idea that it's okay to like Twilight again.
i saw the video a while ago but i dont think its what started making twilight ‘’likeable’’ again or began the idea. i found myself agreeing with most of it, back then twilight was hated bc it was a self-insert (like men dont do that with their male characters all the time? lmao whatever)
nowadays tho i dont think twilight is unfairly hated, i think there are a lot of valid reasons to not like it. it’s racist, extremely so. and the writing choices can be downright objectively bad, like breaking dawn? such a mess
i know i went off of what your question originally was i just didnt want ppl getting the wrong idea about what i think is good/bad about the series. i wholeheartedly understand why ppl dont like the twilight saga these days, but make sure you point out actual flaws instead of saying something like ‘she’s a mary-sue, she’s stupid’ etc
