Comments on: Salon.com Twilight Article! http://twilighters.org/2008/07/30/saloncom-twilight-article Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:10:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alaina http://twilighters.org/2008/07/30/saloncom-twilight-article/comment-page-1#comment-303374 Alaina Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:07:22 +0000 http://twilighters.org/?p=1808#comment-303374 This was such a biased, offensive and demeaning article that I am suprised you even posted it here. The author basically said "the books are horrible pieces of trash which demean women, and those who read them are anti-feminists who only want to fantasize about Edward. They described Bella as spineless, week and a "place holder" with no personality (excuse me, but I think Bella is such a great protagonist because she is just like every other teenage girl who feels insecure and unimportant.) But I think what makes Bella such a great role model for young adults is her ability to love unconditionally and to see past stereotypes and prejudices. Her love for all the Cullens, her father and her mother is her "superpower" which everyone seems to think she lacks. She is most definitely not a Mary-Sue by anyone's definition (hello, did anyone read New Moon?!) and the people who read it aren't only "pre-teens and their moms". Don't they know about all the college age students, the boys, the adult women and men, and the grandparents who have fallen in love with our beloved book? Now would their be such a fan following if the saga was little more than a Harloquin romance. This isn't Gossip Girl here. Stephenie has a degree in English literature and is influenced by some of our societies most beloved classics... her writing style is detailed, unique and rich and her creativity is endless. That is why we "Twilighters" worship the pages she writes on :D This was such a biased, offensive and demeaning article that I am suprised you even posted it here.

Bella's age, the number of Cullens, etc. The article is totally untrue- Bella has a great deal of personality and so does Edward!! And who cares if his skin is cold? =] There were a TON of mistakes!
