    In that regard I have to praise Stephanie Meyer: she made her money and then fucked off, never to be heard from again.

      I’m not sure who ever decided it was a good idea for celebrities to write their own brain garbage into social media accounts instead of having their media team handle it. It’s like how you’d never get Hollywood actors appears in a toilet roll advert until the ones they did in Japan got onto the web, and now it’s totally normalised for them to be undignified. I guess all of this coincided with the old star system being replaced by the primacy of IPs and endless “franchises”, where once the film poster used to just show Sandra Bullock and say “look, it’s Sandra Bullock you idiot” and that was enough.

      Except the Twilight series glorified toxic relationships, normalized abuse and underage grooming, and hit an uncomfortable number of red flags in DSM-5.
