Twilight: The Death of Feminism

Indeed, but I think the suggestion of swapping the vampires for Nazis might qualify. Imagine if teenage girls the world over were getting excited about genocidal megalomaniacs instead of chauvinistic stalkers...also, sparkly Nazis. SPARKLY NAZIS.

A thread was recently started at the alternatehistory.org forums with the premise: how could Twilight be made worse? Someone introduced the concept of various things from the Warhammer 40K universe vs. the Twilight vampires, so I threw together the following:

Imperial Communique 1337-47-666-BBQ
Action Report: Exploration and Liberation of "Meyer's World"

snip awesomeness

I would read this story, I'm sure many other people would too.

That is insanely revolting. In effect, the prank... *could* have been funny IF the family was not involved, and they didnt actually rip up her book, instead just painted the crap on her wall with easily washable paint.

however, it was not funny. It was not biblical. It was cruel. Now she's getting forced into therapy and confession and actually thinks shes crazy? And she's an alcoholic to boot. How funny. how terribly lulz worthy.

I am honestly sick to my stomach. That's revolting.

...And interestingly enough, reminds me of Equus. :spock:

Fucking disgraceful. That anon on the first page was right.

The email for the link-phobic:

What makes this idiot think a silver bullet wouldn't kill a Werewolf? Clearly she knows nothing about Werewolves, so I'd figure she'd assume shooting one with ANYTHING would kill it as much as it would a Husky.

And, besides New Moon, what makes her think a Werewolf would look just like a wolf? If that were the case, it'd be called a WOLF YOU FUCKING BITCHCUNTWHOREAGFSBLSER!!!1! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

For what it's worth I've always thought werewolves were cooler (and creepier) when they just looked like eerily large, extra-menacing wolves instead of bipedal whosawhatsits.

Okay, I could believe that email was genuine, except for the line where she mocks the idea of a silver bullet killing a werewolf. Obvious troll is obvious.

If I had a twenty-year-old cousin that did that to my yogurt, I'd admittedly probably punch them in the face and be done with it. But that 'revenge' is disgusting. Twilight Sucks has become the new worst forum full of the worst people.

Also, if I knew the email address of the OP's mother, she would be getting an anonymous link to this thread.

We are not 4chan.

An important, oft-overlooked fact.

Seriously. I have neither the means nor the desire to launch e-attacks.

The OP in that thread - from what I can see, her name is Rachel Gutman. She is from Las Vegas, NV. Her MySpace is here. It is possible that this is her YouTube account - it belongs to a Rachel Gutman, from Las Vegas, NV, and includes a video which features 'Jimmy' (she mentioned her friend Jimmy in the TwilightSucks thread). However, if this is the case she has certainly lied about her age. The girl in the videos also doesn't look very similar to the MySpace picture, so I may well be wrong about the YouTube. This is her XFire. She is on the 2K Forums here.

He asked for her mother's e-mail.

He's still waiting.

Is it sad that I don't know what half these websites even are?

And where did you find all this info from? Better yet... why do you care THAT much?

Maybe our savior shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth...

So I have to read Twilight for my American Lit class. We're going to examine reasons why these books seem to resonate with the general populace on so many levels.

I think I'm going to go through the first book and highlight and tab any mentions of Edward's physical beauty in any form. I know it's already been done. If anyone's interested in picking things in the book out but would rather not read the book themselves, here's your opportunity to tell me to find it.

(seriously guys anything to make this more interesting for me PLEASE)

Change every verb in the book between Edward and Bella to "rape".

This could have merit.

That wouldn't change the way the book reads that much.

Oh, how about you highlight all the "feminist" behaviors of Bella that emphasize what a helpless little princess she is?

I suppose you could also talk about how Bella's lack of personality makes it so easy for the reader to insert their own personality into Bella.

You could use the book as toilet paper and give the results to your professor.

Demand your money back and transfer to another college. Immediately.

You could instead treat it like stats class.

Get a random sample of 50 Twilight fans, and determine their mean IQ. Do this 10 times. Then make a graph of the distribution of sample means.

When the mean of the means ends up being about 40, explain THAT's why these babbling idiots like this shit. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
