If Bella were something resembling normal and viewed Edward's creepy stalker stuff as being creepy stalker stuff, then he'd be showed up as the creepy stalker (sorry, I can't think of any alternative descriptions that wouldn't get me a warning) that he is. However, since she's subscribing to the whole 'stalking is twu wub and being a brainless sap that only exists for this one man is how one should be' view, she's supporting Edward's actions, and thus reinforces the idea in the minds of a lot of the more young and impressionable fans that his actions are all right- after all, he's a protagonist and Bella didn't really object, did she?

Anyway, just wanted to say these last things- 1, if you took her love for Edward out of her character, Bella would have so little substance that she'd dry up and float away, and 2, yeah, he's got uncontrollable bloodlust, but Rosalie and Emmett and Alice did, too, and they were a lot more normal than him. Edward's a self-pitying creep and Bella's an emotionally abusive git.

I honestly don't know where I was going with all of this. I think all the things I couldn't phrase properly earlier got together and decided to turn themselves into a Twilight rant.

What bothers me is how his creepiness is portrayed. Edward is, by all means, a strange creepy stalker. Not a romantic perfect dude for someone's twu wub.
