Twilight fans: Haha the cast HATES twilight that's hilarious
POC (especially Natives): we hate it too
Twilight fans: hey :(
Granted, I never read Twilight but...is this referencing some racism in Twilight or is there something I'm missing here?
Twilight literally caused so many myths & misconceptions about Native & Quileute people that the Quileute tribe had to put up an entire site dispelling the shit Stephanie Meyer caused. I literally cannot begin to explain how insanely racist twilight is as a series with the number of bullshit that happens to not just the Native characters, but other characters of color (but Stephanie Meyer targeted Native Americans specifically)
Here's the site so you can research the specific ways Twilight has harmed Native Americans & specifically the Quileute tribe.
Or you can look at my #Twilight anger on main tag to see me talk about how bad it is.
The Quileute tribe is currently attempting to relocate their community outside of the active tsunami zone they currently reside in and have an ongoing fundraiser. First thing they are trying to move is their school, which teaches kids from multiple tribes in the area. They have had no support from anyone involved in Twilight, not even the funny cast who hates it. I know times are tough, but anything helps.
