You know, i was 13. I didnt have any friends, girl friends specifically. I was the weird kid, the one with the highest notes, the one in the band. I was an outcast. Recess was me eating next to a trash can.
You know what happened when i was 13? Twilight happened
And i wasnt an outcast anymore
I finally had something to talk about with other girls. I realized that they talked about more stuff than just boys and they realized i was more than the smart kid. I realized how hating pop music was stupid, how mysoginist it was the whole conception of just like rock and metal because that was what the boys did. I embraced liking boy bands, liking pop, fangirling over an actor and getting involved into fandom stuff. I improved my english soley because i wanted to read a Twilight fanfic that was completed in english and not in spanish.
Twilight marked a before and after for me. It formed me, it helped.
You know what i did the moment i knew Smeyer was a racist piece of shit and how much her books ruined the life of the real Quileute tribe?
The books i got (as a gift btw) are there somewhere collecting dust. I didnt care when Smeyer released The Host. The fandom hates her and they did their best to make her forgettable.
Everyone makes fun of Twilight. Everyone have shared at least once a post about how bad the book is or have agreeded in real life with someone about it.
We dragged her name into the mud.
The fandom makes their own headcanons. We have tried and keep trying to rewrite the whole thing. We share post after post about how racist Smeyer is.
You all can do the same with JK Rowling.
You can make her forgettable. You can stop defending her. You can stop watching the damned movies, you can stop buying the books. Block her twitter, dont give her a plattaform. Treat her the same way Smeyer was: by mocking her and making her a joke.
A whole generation of teenagers did it with Twilight.
What's stopping you all from doing the same?
