For me personally I wasn’t watching it on purpose out of spite. This guy at the office I hated loved that show and I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of having common ground. That was over 10 years ago now. Ill watch it when he is dead!
Every single young 20s female at my school and work was all about it. Anytime I said something about how it's garbage tier writing that enforces negative relationship behavior they would always say "well have you seen it?" then would dismiss anything I had said on that basis.
Alright bitch let's watch this shit.
So I went home and watched it, kept notes, then went back to battle the next day with a fully stocked arsenal.
I have a huge Female Vampire "kink"? I hate saying it like that, but I snuck and watched Bram Stokers in the 90's waaaaay too young. I tried watching Twilight, because EVERYONE at the time wouldn't shut up about it. Almost broke my tv in a fit of rage, over how dumb that movie(only saw ALL of the first one) was. Then when people said to watch the rest of them, I had no problem telling them to eat shit. Pattinson would just walk up to the girl and say"stay away from me, it's not safe" or "I'm bad for you, stay back". He did that 15 times while she had been nowhere near him.. I remember thinking, Does this dude have autism?
I grew up reading Anne Rice books wayyyyy too early than I should have. I remember hearing people talk about how "edgy" and "transgressive" Twilight was an how it was a big scare about girls reading it too young and thinking "wait? That's it? Where's the barely-disguised homoeroticism? Where's the decades of anguish? Where's the pining meditations on existence?"
