Okay, right now I am very very mad. So please excuse some of the cursing in here.
So a few minutes ago I was watching the rerun of the MTV Movie Awards, which I would like to point out isn't actually a real legit award ceremony, it's just a popularity contest. But anyway, I'm very upset that Twilight won over Slumdog Millionaire in more than one category. Actually, in every category that Twilight has been in, they've won, except for best song, which that hoe Miley Cyrus won, which is almost worse. After today, I cannot watch MTV ever again. it saddens me to know that people who watch MTV like Twilight better than Slumdog Millionaire, and like Miley Cyrus better than A.R. Rahman, who brilliantly wrote the music for Slumdog.
So I casually expressed my resentment that Twilight won "Best Movie" or something, and before I knew it we were arguing about Twilight. What a great way to spend the weekend, right? I told you this weekend was gonna suck.
Fran (4:26:18 PM): Twilight is sexist and abusive.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:27:26 PM): Its not real Fran
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:27:31 PM): I don't see how its sexist
Fran (4:27:46 PM): It's not real but people watch it and read it and it conveys bad morals.
Fran (4:28:27 PM): Bella plays the weak damsel in distress,
Fran (4:28:40 PM): All Bella cares about is Edward,
Fran (4:28:47 PM): He manipulates her into marriage.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:29:18 PM): She wanted to be with him forever because she loved him
Fran (4:29:30 PM): They're not in love, they're infatuated with each other.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:29:38 PM): Yeah they do. They have a choice either to love them back
Fran (4:29:43 PM): if they were in love he wouldn't emotionally abuse her.
This is the kind of stuff that pisses me off, when people think that it's okay for a guy to control and emotionally abuse a girl. Whenever I bring this up the twilight "luvers" say that he does it cause he loves her and that it's not abuse. Well guess what? It is.
Emotional Abuse: Abuse is any behavior that is designed to control and subjugate another human being through the use of fear, humiliation, intimidation, guilt, coercion, manipulation etc. Emotional abuse is any kind of abuse that is emotional rather than physical in nature. It can include anything from verbal abuse and constant criticism to more subtle tactics, such as repeated disapproval or even the refusal to ever be pleased.
This is what Edward does to Bella. This is abuse. But obviously you guys think it's okay and say things like "aww, he cares so much about her". No. He had her kidnapped. What the fuck.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:32:52 PM): That's because nobody knows about vampires and he's trying to let her know that a life with him is a life without the sun because they "sparkle"
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:33:00 PM): She wanted to do it
Fran (4:33:20 PM): so what if she wanted to do it???? THAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. do you realize that 12 year old girls read this?
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007(4:33:37 PM): And so, she didn't go to college. She at least graduated from high school.
LMFAO. This is the funniest defense I have ever heard. Just because you want abuse doesn't make it right.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:34:56 PM): Yeah but like I said its not REAL. Its just there for entertainment. Vampires are 'in' again. So what if they read it? Its fiction
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:35:32 PM): And if they're stupid enough to actually believe it then that's their problem.
Fran (4:36:03 PM): dude, i know its fiction. the problem is that people read this and they think its okay. they send bad messages. of course no one is gonna believe it. but if you wrote a fictional book about how slavery is okay, you're saying that its okay because it fiction. right?
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:36:48 PM): Nope. That's why its fiction. Its fake
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:37:21 PM): Slavery was non-fiction. It actually happened. 'Owning' people is just wrong
Fran (4:37:29 PM): dude, you're missing the point.
Fran (4:37:30 PM): DUDE
Fran (4:37:31 PM): LMFAO
Fran (4:37:37 PM): DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS REAL TOO.
Fran (4:37:43 PM): SEXISM IS REAL TOO.
Fran (4:37:44 PM): LMAO
Fran (4:37:47 PM): Wow.
The sentence I love the most:
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:38:25 PM): But he didn't beat her.
o_o
Is there anything to say to that? That's just like WTF. Just because he didn't beat her doesn't make emotional abuse better.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007(4:40:46 PM): I'm trying to understand where you're coming from. I don't see any ounce of sexism in that whole Saga
Fran (4:41:45 PM): you're saying "its okay that the book has bad messages because its fictional and its fake". you honestly don't see any sexism? Bella is a weak character and is controlled by edward. he abuses her, and she makes it seem as if everyone needs a man to control them.
Fran (4:42:06 PM): the thing is
Fran (4:42:13 PM): She doesn't even notice the sexism
Fran (4:42:16 PM): she doesn't notice the abuse
Fran (4:42:22 PM): which makes the whole saga even worse.
Fran (4:42:31 PM): especially since little girls look up to her
Fran (4:43:53 PM): shes stupid, pointless, weak, dependent, and annoying.
Fran (4:47:28 PM): she is the weakest character ever written and she lets edward and everyone else control her.
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:48:09 PM): Like mental abuse or what?
Fran (4:48:17 PM): yes, mental abuse!!!!!
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:48:54 PM): Ohhhhhh!
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:49:01 PM): Haha
Fran (4:49:23 PM): and shes supposed to be independent
Fran (4:49:31 PM): but shes obsessed with edward
Fran (4:49:37 PM): and she doesnt care about anything else
Fran (4:49:42 PM): its ridiculous and sexist
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:49:47 PM): But she's like a lovesick puppy
Fran (4:49:54 PM): EXACTLY
Fran (4:49:56 PM): A LOVESICK PUPPY
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:50:05 PM): Hahaha!
Fran (4:50:14 PM): shes like obsessed and controlled by him
Fran (4:50:18 PM): like wtf
Fran (4:50:23 PM): why do you read this shit??
OMGIlovetwilightTwlightLuver007 (4:50:41 PM): Okay okay. It was entertainment. I like it
Fran (4:51:01 PM): Really???? you cant find any other means of entertainment????? wtf.
So this is the reason I'm so angry. That people have to stoop down to the "Twlight" level to be entertained. I really don't know why people like this crap so much.
For all you guys who like Twilight:
GET A LIFE.
GO READ A REAL BOOK.
STOP FAPPING TO EDWARD.
GO GET HIT BY A TRUCK.
