Oh hi Stephenie Meyer

[gwynnywonk]

So, Smeyer, why is it that you had to ruin being Mormon for all of us mildly articulate Mormons? I'm getting really tired of having to defend Mormonism to a bunch of people tired of your outdated mysogynistic sparkle books. Feminists are riled up for one, people who actually like good books for another, and OH LOOK now people are saying that your racism stems from the Book of Mormon. Since this is my religion, too, I feel like I have to defend it. Unfortunately, that means indirectly giving credit you and your books. This wounds me very deeply because I hate your books, characters, and so-called plots along with all of the ridiculous fan-crack that comes along with them. Here I am, defending something I hate, because I'm trying to vindicate something I love dearly.  To my credit, I am doing this by telling everyone that your books are mindless tripe that isn't deserving of more critical analysis than a 12-year-old's first Harry Potter fanfic, but at the same time I dislike it. I'm sitting here typing responses to anti-mormon comments triggered by your books, at two in the morning, annoyed at the amount of inconvenience and pain that you've caused. Mormons have struggled for years to gain a toehold as a simple, family-based religion with good values and better living. Your Mormonism has caused people to analyze your brainless series far beyond what your talentless writing warrants and it's us that's left with the backlash.

Thanks, DUMBASS.

Cheers,
