I find the twilight renaissance funny, and I’m all for eliminating cringe culture, but let’s remember that smeyer changed Quileute legends and beliefs to fit her narrative, gave animalistic/abusive traits to her Native characters, reinforcing the uncontrollable “savage” stereotype, made the “pure”, pale vampires constantly insult and antagonize the werewolves (whose land they were living on) for no reason, and overall wrote some pretty racist stuff about her Native characters
Also, her entire concept of vampires is super racist. In her books, becoming a vampire makes you 1. Super hot and 2. White. If you weren’t white before, becoming a vampire makes you white and it is specifically the process of becoming white that makes you super hot.
Perfect tags from @leepacey. Fuck this Twilight resurrection bullshit
