They're pretty gullible (for a lack of a better word) and some think every relationship should be like Edward and Bella's when, in fact they shouldn't be. Also, do you know the impact it has had on horror. Now vampires and werewolves are something many horror fans despise because of this. Love is misrepresented constantly in the media, and I have yet another thread talking about this. Some women end up with terrible and abusive boyfriends because Twilight has taught them that psychotic stalkers are hot. However, as women gain experience on what real love is, they discard these juvenile idealisations.

As for how it's impacted our view on vampires and werewolves, I think it's just a trend that's going to die soon. Have no fear, the merciless beasts of yore will return one day to inspire awe and shock in all those who behold them!
