People still care about Twilight?

Only the ones who think it's representative of the perfect romantic relationship.

Really? Because I don't hear about it from anyone except the anti-fans who somehow think its one-time popularity proves girls want to be abused. Everyone else has grown up and moved on.

I personally know 8 people who still view it as the perfect romance, ranging in age from 14 to 59, including my step-aunt who is a school librarian and who is proud of pimping the series to every pre-teen girl who asks her for a book recommendation. They are still out there.

sa

I do fully admit that my step-aunt's promotional activities have given me a personal grudge against the series though.

That shit always made me laugh. Women have been into guys who are mad, bad, and dangerous to know since Lord Byron and probably before; it's a phase for a lot of us and like any phase it passes harmlessly most of the time. Anyone who thought Twilight was particularly dangerous in that respect has never ever read a single Harlequin Romance or YA urban fantasy.

Edward was a textbook stalker though.

DA. He was, yes. He was also not especially unique in that, and finding a fictional vampire stalker romantic does not translate to being OK with being stalked in real life. Like the other anon said, it's a harmless phase.

One that my step aunt has been encouraging in preteen girls since 2007.

Whatever, I'm bitter.
