Umm… I think it goes without saying that there’s adult content?  Just references though.

Anyway… enjoy?

Methinks Bella likes Edward by *Scargut-the-Gutless on deviantART

Background Info:
John Green is the (completely awesome) author of a few of my favourite books, Looking For Alaska, An Abundance of Katherines and Paper Towns.
He and his brother Hank also have a youtube channel (Vlogbrothers) in which they often talk to each other, but they talk about Big Issues also for the world & stuff.
Oh, and they’re are the founders of Nerdfighters.com which is just kind of made of awesome.

So, without furthur ado, this is John Green’s opinion of Twilight (the source being his youtube channel, obviously):

The writer of this article, Hank Sartin, is definately anti.
He mostly talks about the lack of feminism in the series despite what Stephenie Meyer says.
He also touches briefly on the idea we were getting at two posts back with the adults reading kids’ books and about the influence of Harry Potter on the YA genre.

So nostalgia and escape are certainly part of the puzzle, but Twilight’s popularity also speaks to a rear-guard cultural movement, a conservative response to the radical changes in sexual politics of the last decade. Stephenie Meyer has claimed her books are feminist because they are about Bella making a choice, an assertion that would be laughable if so many people weren’t nodding in agreement. The Twilight novels espouse values more suited to 1809 than 2009: They offer up chaste romance with an ideal man, initially mysterious and menacing, who eventually confesses his love for the heroine and protects her from his own unruly desires—and from evil men who want to ravage her (or “suck her blood”). Feminist? Hardly. The Twilight series aims to clean up the sloppy excesses of grrrl-power feminism. It teases readers and viewers with the prospect of burgeoning teen sexuality only to cap it with an abstinence-only message coded through vampirism. As Edward warns, there’s no safe sex when he could lose his precarious control of his urges at any moment. So, one supposes, heavy petting is out, too. How much fun can it be to live as an immortal playboy when you can’t even get to second base?

It’s an interesting article, kinda ranty, but if you want to read more: click here.
