So, Edward killed these people for being an under-aged alcoholic, living and presumably having sex with a woman before marriage, being an atheist/agnostic, and a prostitute?

Yes, truly they deserved the death sentence.

Sarcasm doesn't work so well over the internet.

Still, very creepy.

Well, the old man was killed for having a mental illness, which obviously meant he was a threat to society. The girl wasn't actually a prostitute. She was just a girl that made Edward lust for her. And, obviously, that was her fault. She tempted Edward into thinking these sinful thought, so therefore, she must be a bad person.

So, basically, Edward is ALWAYS more creepy than you think. ALWAYS.

Wow, that's actually worse.

Meyer may have not consciously written him to that extreme, though her writing has shown that she's cool with slut-shaming and ableism.

Still, he's barely developed beyond being incredibly hot and rich, so any view of him wouldn't be so inaccurate.

What mental illness did you characterize the old man with?

[sos_sporkers]

Well, I was aiming to make him severely socially dysfunctional, hence his freak-outs around people.

I sympathize. Writing characters with disorders you don't have or know nothing about can be tricky. I once tried writing about a character with narcolepsy. Really tricky to get done at times.
