61. “Renesmee.” Just the name. Even Albus Severus is miles less stupid than that.

62. The birth scene. *shudders* EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW—

63. Also, the sheer absurdity of fading to black for the sex and leaving that in.

64. Meyer breaks her own rules.

65. By those rules, Renesmee shouldn’t exist. Yet she does.

66. And is an epic Mary-Sue. Seriously? Reading Tennyson?

67. And further screws over any tatters of vampire mythology that may have remained.

68. The whole bit where Jacob imprints on her is all sorts of wrong.

69. Imprinting is pedophilia.

70. And child grooming.

71. And just downright creepy. It’s a really perverted view of the concept of soul-mates.

72. It’s also sexist (as is the entire series)—the girls get no choice in the matter.

73. Sneaking into a girl’s room and watching her sleep isn’t romantic, it’s incredibly creepy and stalkerish and just plain wrong.

74. And if it was, say, Tyler instead of Edward—would that still be okay, Twilight fans?

75. Tweens take note: “perfect, wonderful gentlemen” do NOT screw with your car to keep you from seeing your friends.

76. Nor do they take you hostage.

77. Nor do they manipulate you to do and be what they want.

78. Edward is, then, emotionally controlling and—guess what?—abusive.

79. He has anger issues and takes them out on Bella.

80. The books promote unhealthy relationships in general. And that does matter.
