First, let me get this straight: I'm not a অনুরাগী of Twilight. In fact, I hate it. But I can see why everyone's so hyped up about it.
আপনি see, I've recently been introduced to a new theory- The Twelve-Year-Old girl theory. It's mostly used in music, like for জনপ্রিয় প্রতীকী like Hannah Montana, Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers, but Twilight also fits into this catagory.
What is the Twelve-Year-Old girl theory, আপনি might ask? Well, let's just look at people at the age of twelve first. When আপনি turn twelve, you're on the thin line between childhood and the teen years. You're young and vulnerable, আপনি want to have fun, yet still remain composed and cool to your peers. It's also the time where you're most prone to follow trends and fads, just because everyone else is doing it and/or it's popular. This may include good things, for example, yoga অথবা whatever, অথবা bad stuff like drugs. (NOTE: this doesn't include all twelve-year-olds. Some remain to being themselves অথবা just being neutral).
This also applies to Twilight. The emotional abuse and lust is bad, but yet girls like it. Why? Maybe pressure from the rabid অনুরাগী at their schools are so great that they pretend to squeal over it. অথবা maybe it's because they don't have enough experience with বই to tell the good ones from the bad ones. (NOTE: Again, this doesn't apply to all twelve-year-olds, just the majority of them). The Twelve-Year-Old girl theory covers both of these points. I'm not calling any of আপনি Twilight অনুরাগী dumb, just that maybe you're a little book/romance-naive.
I would like to add a little sub-theory to that theory: a little somthing that I (and the Latins) would like to call: 'argumentum ad populum', which means 'appeal to the people'. A logical fallacy that some really #1 Twilight অনুরাগী use,'argumentum ad populum' suggests that if many people believe it, then it must be true. It's also an opression of opinion, and has resulted in many tragic events in history, like the Holocaust.
If আপনি don't fully understand 'argumentum as populum', then let's put it this way: If many people believed that Jupiter was made of chocolate, would you? Maybe, maybe not. Would it be true? Not without proof, it wouldn't.
There's also this theory called 'the perfect man theory', which I kinda made up. Girls like Twilight because it has perfect Edward and his sparkly-coated, Adonis-like body. I understand that everybody wants true প্রণয় and all that crap, but it doesn't necessarily have to come in the form of a fictional character. Also, no man is perfect, I can tell আপনি that.
Now, these three theories do not cover all fans, especially the sane fans, but it's how I think Twilight came to be so popular. Hoped আপনি liked it. If আপনি didn't, then আপনি can find me on here, the C.A.T. club, অথবা the AAR club.
