Worse than pushing gender stereotypes Twilight is turning an obvious case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder into a romantic character and nothing could be less desirable than a relationship with a person of the kind. I mean it. I have been there.
“I worry about the girls who seem, with quite a bit of personal conviction, to put one of the main characters of the Twilight “saga,” the vampire Edward Cullen, on such a high pedestal that they think he is the ultimate ideal of a boyfriend. That he is not. These girls need a wake-up call: Edward Cullen is a caricature of an emotionally, psychologically and physically abusive boyfriend — and one with supernatural powers no less. It can’t be healthy to have an attachment to a fictional character with those qualities, much less a real person.”
