BTS List - That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...

babbling becuase not much time!
From:(I had to read all the responses too, and, wow, great discussion.)
I read everything I could when I was a kid, and then we had to have Special Meetings to let me check stuff out of the "adult" portion of the library because of policies back in the 1960s (we were supposed to be happy with the kid's section until we graduated high school). I read everything in the kid's section by the time I was in junior high. And at home, I read through the five foot shelf of books, and all the stuff my parents had, and yeah, I found Gor in the adult library, and it was hot, and I read Rafael Sabatini in early high school and got a hard on for pirates and.....let me see, I had to ask my Dad what circumcision meant in 8th grade because we were on the road driving to Texas so no dictionary handy, and I was reading a Michner novel about Israel, and he damn well told me what it meant.
The only problem he had was comics, and given all the freedom I had to read in every other way, I cannot complain too much. My parents were big on reading (and yeah we talked about what I read when I wanted to), but they didn't try to control it in any way (other than the comics, sigh), and gee, I turned out okay (and am a feminist too, and I wrote some pretty hot non-con and rapefic if I do say so myself).
So while I don't want to read Twilight, and snicker a bit at sparkly vampires, I have absolutely no problem with the people who do and who love it, and share your question of why the continual insulting of 12 year olds (my mum lives not far from Forks, Washington, and she was trying to say fandom is worth today, and I reminded her of the Beatles, and Frank Sinatra).
This culture gets very nervous about young women, whether children, adolesent, or in their twenties, expressing pleasure and joy. And we seem to go through periodical *omg book is all at fault* (Rowling, or Judy Blume, and now Stephanie Meyer).
So, um, great meta and lots of think about but must dash now!
