Edward Cullen

First, imagine you're a horny 13 year old girl. Then you'll get the appeal.

I’ve had friends who are girls who like it and my gf who likes it but also thinks it’s weird describe it like this

To muscly older women fighting over you

And ya know when they explain it like that, I get it

When I got into Tsukihime I realized it was just Twilight for male 20 somethings, and that's when I finally understood

I hated it when I was just a 13 yo girl.

The vampire was an angry, soulless piece of the shit who looks and acts like a serial killer.

The woman was a daft cow who always had this dumb look in here eyes like a deer in headlights.

Match made in hell.

I rewatched the first one recently with my girlfriend and God is Edward a creep when seen through non teen girl eyes. Dudes a literal pedo creep but he's handsome and broken so it's ok.

I don't understand how the character couldn't be viewed as a creep. Is this some sort of conditioning or does it trigger appeasement behaviour?
