We don't talk enough about how much society openly despises teenage girls and the things that they like. It's one of the purest, most distilled forms of misogyny.
God forbid a color or a pattern or a beverage or a game or a show or a musician or a style becomes associated with teenage girls, the circlejerk shitting on it never goes away.
The last vestiges of Twilight hate are still out there, it's truly eternal.
My partner recently watched the movies and is reading the books for the first time. They're still hesitant to admit they like them because of the stigma. We've both watched worse slop on YouTube and I'm not allowed to make fun considering I'm out here reading stuff like Rage of Achilles to get my romance fix.
i hate twilight because its worshiping abusive relationship dynamics and written by a white mormon woman
Romance is a goofyass genre, we're allowed to be a lil silly with it :3
On some level I think society feels it has to hit the gas hard on misogyny during a girls transition into womanhood, just to really rub it in and cement that stuff early on, so they get an outsized proportional response of that hatred.
