I don't think so. For one thing, it encourages bland young women to take all manner of emotional abuse from monsterous men in the name of "love".

I haven't seen any of the films, nor read any of the books, nor do I intend to. Vampires are not romantic as far as I'm concerned. They're addicts at best and predators at worst.

Yes, and no matter how crappy he treats her, she keeps going back for more. Talk about codependent.

Oh, plenty of people have noticed, and commented (which is how I know so much about the books; I read the literary and social critiques). It's just that the masses are, in general, quite ignorant in all senses of the word. I can't understand why these books have become so popular, other than they tap into some sort of codependent need that some people have to be in addictive relationships.
The stuff that passes for "romance" and "love" always makes me wonder what the hell is going on in the world...
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
