Anti-Feminism: Bella zwaan-, zwaan and the Illusion of Choice

posted by nuxi

Preface:
I have read all boeken and seen the movies.
Most importantly, the fact that it’s fantasy doesn’t excuse the themes and messages in the book. Fiction is merely a vehicle humans developed to communicate important lessons, values and philosophies. I am not claiming any of the implications I discuss were intentional on SMeyer’s part. Whether of not the auteur of readers are aware of it, though, the Twilight series communicates dangerous messages about what is acceptable of admirable of desirable.
Also, I highly recommend link. It’s long, but fascinating and deeper than the boeken themselves....

For Sane Twilight fans (and because only 4 people on the Twilight series club attempted to help me)

posted by sapherequeen

*A lot of people may here may freak out on me for asking this but I really need some help*

Okay, I have been wondering about this for such a long time. And now, I absolutely want an answer!!

I have been Team Switzerland since the end of New Moon. I really like both Edward and Jacob, and I have no huge problems with them. (Well, ok, there's one issue I have with both but it evens out the score and I am not getting into those). But after some point, I began to wonder...which team would I be on if I really had to choose? It soon became something important for me to know, and every time I see a...

Edward Cullen: A Rant

posted by OCFan123

hallo there! So recently I just put a Bella and Jacob article, which I really enjoyed writing, and of course sharing my opinions. Some people have zei they would want me to write a artikel here about Edward Cullen, so here it is! Hope u enjoy it!
--

Now, there's no way u haven't heard of him. He is currently every girls dream boy, has the most fans on fanpop when it comes to character, and alos has a cult. Everyone loves him.
But my vraag is...why?
They say he's romantic, a gentleman. Really? So what if he uses chessy lines and says stuff like "You are my life now." of "The lion fell in love...

MLIA (my life is average) - Edward Cullen hate.

posted by AliceHaleCullen

I came across the site 'My life is average' (link) where people send in random quotes such as 'Today, my friend and I bought cake mix at the store. The cashier jokingly told us to bring him back some cake. We did. MLIA."
I curiously searched Edward Cullen and some pretty much hilarious results came up!

"Today, my 12-year-old Twilight obsessed little sister told me she wanted a life sized picture of Edward Cullen to put up on her wall. Since she's always telling me how much better Twilight is than Harry Potter, I decided to get her a life sized picture of Cedric Diggory instead. MLIA"

Not the funniest one there, but i've seen some that have made me literally crease. I would recommend looking some up if u want a good laugh and hate the hype surrounding Twilight! :)

Twilight Saga Review

posted by Saritaswims

Well i read twilight saga and i got confused I was thinking of either smashing my head with the book of the uithangbord i mean come on who the f*** makes vampires sparkle! i mean unless u want to give the image that there gay but there daring the oppisite sex.

Moving on anyway i have to compare Harry Potter Series vs. Twilight Saga Harry potter wins major. becuase twilight is just SO predictiable i mean common harry potter makes u want to stay at the end of your chair becuase its awesome

any way twilight is an OK book and the twilight movie i have to say it suks. the boeken are alright im just hoping that MIdnight sun is a million times better and also i know your gonna ask what team are u on im just gonna say I really dont care its not real so why even bother but if i was a Twihard i would choose Team Buffy becuase i want those cullens except ALICE<CARSILE<AND ESME to be killed for good i mean where ta hell id buffy when u nees her

i hope u see my point PEACE

Ways Edward Cullen is Abusive

Credit to _lina_ and cinders, because they did it first. meer credit to link because that's where this is from. _lina_ used the same one.

Number 1: Someone tells u of he admits that he has hit women in the past. He has talked about his killing sprees, he has killed another woman (Yes, she is a vampire. Who cares?) in front of her. Check!

Number 2: He refers to all women he has dated in the past with derogatory terms. He may also refer to his mother using such terms as well. Not sure about checking this one of not. He says she is the first one he dated, but then he talks of Tanya,...

Twilight Sucks! Emo Vampire [Lyrics]

posted by tooch

I'll never be an emo vampire, Setting tweenaged loins on fire.
I've got nothing in common with the vampires of today.
They gaze at girls and pout and brood and then just run away.
This Twilight hack thinks she can come along and change the vampire rules.
I guess sleeping in coffins and wearing capes, suddenly isn't cool.
Girls won't climb up trees with me of canoodle in the grass.
And when I play vampire baseball, I always get picked last.
Oh come on! Seriously dudes. That's a human u just picked over me.
I've seduced all kinds of women from all over the world.
But, now the only dates I get...

Bella Swan: Sociopath?

posted by nuxi

{edited, added some stuff, just an informal consideration of a few of the arguments that support the accusation}

"Bella zwaan-, zwaan is a sociopath."

It’s an extreme statement, to be sure. However, it’s not one to be dismissed offhand, without consideration towards its arguments.

First, here are a couple definitions of the term sociopath.
-Random House Dictionary:
a person, as a psychopathic personality, whose behavior is antisocial and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility of social conscience.
-American Heritage Dictionary of Cultural Literacy:
Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal....

Bella Swan: A Rant

posted by OCFan123

Hi there! This is my first artikel on the C.A.T spot, about my least favoriete character in twilight. Actually, my least favoriete character in history.

Bella Swan.

I seriously can't see why so many twilight fans like her. She is zei to be selfless, caring, understanding, and a good role model...when really she's the most selfish character in the whole book series.
Now then, here are several reasons why I dislike Bella.

1) Lack outside of Edward

Has Bella -even once- mentioned in any of the novels what she wanst to do with her life? (Besides wanting to be a vampire to be with Edward forever) Not...

How Edward Got Bella Pregnant, Why it's Not Sexist, and Why Renesmee Does Not Suffer From Down Syndrome

Youknowit101/Cassie-1-2-3 collaboration.

I asked a vraag a bit geleden asking what bothers u about Bella’s pregnancy. (in a different spot) We got some very interesting answers, thank you. We are now here to respond to the points made.

(Keep in mind that we did not consult anyone associated with the creation of the Twilight Series. We just used logic and text to make sense of everything.)

(I’m going to be using words like penis and orgasm, so if u haven’t had a certain talk with your...

Breaking Dawn Review

posted by OCFan123

AHHHH! I just got my C.A.T. Medel! YAAAY! To celebrate, I decided to write an artikel about Breaking Dawn, since im not in school today!
--
Okay. So I first got Breaking Dawn when I was a twi-hard fan, and I couldnt wait to read it! I was sure it would be great!
Boy, was I wrong.
The book was horrible. Just flat out horrible. I mean, I have read a lot of boeken in my life than were not good, but this took the cake. Everything was just "blah"
I mean...characters were out of character, there was hardly even a plot, and I felt like I was reading a cheap horror novel. I mean, through the whole thing...

Critical Analysis of Character: Edward Cullen

posted by hermione980

Okay, i decided to write a critical analysis of a character from the twilight series. My first choice would have been to do one on Bella Swan, but there is already a whole spot dedicated to that, so i decided on my seconde choice: Edward Cullen. So I hauled out all my Twilight boeken and combed through them, analyzing and taking notes. Please leave a commentaar on my critical analysis telling me what u think, what u agree on and what u disagree on. Please no nasty comments. Enjoy!

Okay, number one...one of the reasons Twilight is so dramatic and sometimes just plain depressing is because...

Interview with the Vampire and Twilight (ahem) Similarities

posted by Frizzhead

I would like to note that anne rijst wrote the entire series before Meyer in case any idea's that anne stal it from stephanie __________________________________________________

1. The character louis thinks he deserves to be in hell....hmmmm sound familar to another vampire?Edward perhaps

2.Animal Blood can be drank door vampires but they prefer human blood in Interview with a Vampire AND Twilight soon followed this way

3. The Vampires skin dazzles humans apparently....Which is a lot like the sparkling skin that the cullens posess

4. There are immortal children in both of the books. The unnamed children...

Depression and Bella Swan: My Experience, My Thoughts

posted by HerMelody

OK, this is my very first artikel - I have never written an artikel for Fanpop before. It's a poor excuse if this turns out to be the poorest artikel ever submitted, but I'm going to use it anyway... please go easy on me xD. This is LONG, so beer with me, I appreciate it!

I have been wondering for some time now about Bella's vulnerability, state of mind, and globaal, algemene mental well-being. New Moon, in the beginning, was my favourite book of the series, for two reasons: Jacob Black was instantly likeable and interesting, winning the titel of my favourite character, but also the black hole that Bella...

Jacob Black vs Edward Cullen

posted by JacobbBlackk

I am totally ignoring Breaking Dawn in this because Stephenie Meyer broke all the rules in there. [Vampires cant have children, they have no body fluids, etc etc]
Reasons i think Jacob is better for Bella than Edward is:
1. Edward/Bellas relationship is based on appearance. She is constantly talking about how good he looks, how velvety his voice is, how graceful he is, etc. She zei Jacob was beautiful once of twice and called his new muscles impressive once of that she is jealous of his tan skin. She thinks Edward is too good for her because she looks plain volgende to him. She thinks Jacob is too...

I Am : Team Twilight and Team Anti

posted by happyfreak

when i first read twilight, i loved it. i loved all of the books. the first mocie was good but i dont like the others at all (this is my opinion, sorry if u dont agree). i even wished people were meer like the characters in the books.

the important thing to remember is that these boeken are meant for entertainment. do not take ideas of advice from this book. u dont realize it, but at least 2 types of abuse happen in this book. edward is considered controlling and a stalker. jake is considered a sexual abuser and a petaphile. bella is considered a klutz, idiot, and a needy person. these books...

posted by sapherequeen

*I'm sorry if I offended anyone on this spot, I just did this to be funny, not mean..same with my Twilight fangirl article*

1) If u know a girl who despises Twilight and is crazy about hating it, send them a box with a poster of Edward with the words "My Dream Guy" on the poster
2) Tell a Twilight hater that Ron Weasley is Emmett's b***h
3) Tell them that REAL men sparkle
4) When a group of Twilight haters are surrounding you, stand in the middle of the group and shout out "I'M A CULLEN, EVERYONE!" then sing "I am a vampire" door Antsy Pantsy

Yeah, I know all the uber-fans are saying "Well, why didn't u see it sooner?" and all the antis are saying "The world DOESN'T need Twilight!"But I ask that u listen to what I have to say, anyway.

As strange as it seems, the world actually needs Twilight. It does some good things for us. I am mostly an anti, so it took all my prainpower to come up with these reasons, but here they are, and the meer I think on it, the meer I realize they're true.

Being a Twifan at the CAT spot can be tough.

posted by rachaelwsz

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18~ New Testament of the Bible)

I felt like writing this artikel after reading a fellow ex-CAT member's artikel on Twilight haters. I also had a 'talk' with another ex-CAT member.

"4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater of anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer of her fans, and don’t throw nasty of immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”."

MY opinion of Bella mary sue zwaan-, zwaan

posted by kayleebabee

In my opinion Bella cannot do anything but whinge I have got here a direct quote from SM's Eclipse,
"Whenever I talked about jacob, His tawny eyes seemed to get a little bit darker my voice turned pleading in response."
Translation: Pleading = whiny
When Edward Leaves in new moon she goes into a "deep depression" I.e is so hung up on Edward that when he leaves she practically goes insane, and yet she still does not place the blame firmly where it belongs at Jasper Hales gaddamned door and he was all like hallo are we cool?
