y'all know they got rid of twilight to get people to support this

but also. Twilight sucks, but it should be available to read. i think some context should be made available to go with it since the author includes some potentially problematic racist and sexist views. however, it's mainly being attacked for being an exploration of teenage girl sexuality that resonates/resonated with teenage girls.
