Ah, that's typical Utah/Mormon weird, and that's pretty a pretty tame example. A lot of the daughters out there end up named for their dads-- Stephenie, Alfreda, Homerlynn, et cetera. I think it's just not weird enough for them to note the spellings.

TBF a lot of black people don't want this, either. Seems like it is often done by white people as an exercise in virtue signalling.

What a retarded article. She didn't say anything racist at all or that you can only have black people if they're villains. She just didn't want these specific white characters to be made black or chinese or whatever for no fucking reason.
I may be the only one in this thread who has actual knowledge of the Twilight series (don't ask) but making the main characters different races would also actually fuck up the plot. They're not biologically related, but they live their entire lives based on pretending to be a human biological family. What are they gonna have four kids of different races? Each of the wampire mains also has a detailed backstory that doesn't make sense if they're not white. One was a wealthy socialite during the great depression, one fought for the Confederates in the American civil war, etc. They're all old enough that they would have been born when race really mattered, so to change their race you'd have to dramatically change their entire fucking character.
The director is fucking retarded for even suggesting it tbh

As someone who frequented Twilight Sucks back in the day, I can tell you the Twilight hatedom was 99% non-conformist middle-to-high school aged weeb girls and 1% non-conformist middle-to-high school aged weeb fags. We started hating Twilight because it was popular and it just so happened there were legitimate things to hate the books for like glorifying abusive relationships and behaviors or the pedo plotline in Breaking Dawn. It had nothing to do with The Patriarchy or The Man or Whatever The Fuck "brainwashing" us. We were just petty little shits who thought we were smarter than everyone else, which teenagers have a strong tendency to be.
Holy shit, talk about a blast from the past. Nutty was my first lolcow, before I even knew lolcows were a thing.
It was called Midnight Sun, sharing a name with a gay bar which was ironic considering how much pillow biting Edward did in Breaking Dawn. Back in 2015 Meyer published a genderbent version of Twilight, Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined.

The Twilight fandom was kind of my community watch long before I found the farms. We had Fandom Wank but that's been gone for a long time.
The hate because of the glorifying abusive relationships and the pedo plot.... The hatedom kind of supplemented that with the fact that it was badly written and edited. In fact, there was quite a faction of people who hated it for that alone. They wanted the people reading these trashy YA books to pick up real literature, you know, Shakespeare, Jane Eyre and stuff, and these people were reading the marshmallow fluff and loving it. The literature snobs and the artsy fartsy crowd were all clutching their pearls and bitching about it. But as long as people were entertained, they were never going to read anything else. You can talk about how great the Wall Street Journal is all you want, but people who love the National Enquirer are not going to just put it down.
The only other thing I can remember coming up multiple times was Bella not going to college because she was getting married, or not going to college right away after getting married. I never understood that because she was a vampire and she was going to have plenty of time, and the Cullens went to school all the time anyway. But a lot of the people who complained about that went on to a series of books called The Selection after Twilight was over, and they ended up complaining about a princess who wanted to go to college and a have normal career instead of being queen. So I think some of them are just an unpleaseable segment of the internet.
God I thought that clip of Nuttymadam was gone forever. I wish to God she would start a makeup channel. If she would cry on camera with a fresh makeup job, I would watch.
There is something other than Meyer's toddler tantrum going on with Midnight Sun. Everyone would make money if she would finish it and publish it. It stopped short of the chapter in the meadow, which is what everyone wanted to read. I'm wondering if it's not sitting in a vault somewhere waiting for some anniversary or if she's hoping for a movie remake when she can release it.

Also, Inuits. The state with the largest population of Inuits is Utah, IIRC, not Alaska, as most people would suspect.
