They Are Creepy And They Scheme And They Have No Right To Go To A Place They Are Not Wanted - Tumblr Posts

Uh hot take. But don't worry this is a first of many to come🔥🔥

It irks me that members of this fandom(Yes, I am talking to you team Jacob/wolfpack) are still yet to understand the narrative or role in which the wolves played in the story of twilight. I can't believe that some people think to this day that the wolves were really presented to be the antagonists of Twilight. They don't even realize the harm that that's actually causing to our own particular ideals when we do that. Erasing the trauma and all the shit they had to go through, as young boys at that(not even to mention my girl leah) at the hands of these sinister creatures. And what's worse is that their actions make sense in narrative as the reaction to the many social and ethical issues occurring in the story. It all makes sense!! Never were the wolves meant or presented to be irrational. When will people realize that the Cullen's word is not law. They are often times racist, genocidal, misogynistic, classist, and many other things. What any of them says or implies in the story may in no way be true but are based upon their own individual prejudices and moral viewpoints. They're not the primary narrator of these books, Bella is. Their thoughts and ideals are not the primary narrative. Their words or their theories are not law or actual truth in canon) A lot of the characters in twilight are hypocrites. But especially the cullens. In no way shape or form should we take the anything the cullens say as the actual narrative. And I'm honestly disappointed that so many do. Especially supposedly sensible people in this fandom. It is honestly in many ways a result of all the paranoid reading many on this site engage in but especially those in the twilight fandom. And coming from a Black Amerindian woman, I find it really interesting that many of the things Twilight, and in the case of Smeyer(yes, her mormomism but thats another contentious thread im coming back to later) are presented as doing are really just a projection of many own implicit racial biases and how themselves see and view BIPOC characters. Hmmm it's really telling...
