It also peeves me that Mervin is hitting Renesmee so hard on the adult-mentality point when she's always disregarded Author's Notes on Suefics in favor of what's on the page. I remember that we did that a lot with Gethsemane Butler's Sweeney Todd Mary-Sue in particular. And NOW Meyer's word is suddenly sacred? Oh, COME OFF IT. I may not be remembering fully, as I've been skipping over a fat lot of the posts, but it seems she's just cherry-picking Meyer!canon and on-page!canon in order to produce the most negative interpretations possible.

Sorry, just venting. It's good to know there are two other people who feel the same way...

"I just hope someone calls out Mervin on this ("Dude, you're being as immature as the characters you hate."), but it's unlikely anyone would do it without being dogpiled and demonized. :/"
Yeah - somebody got into a debate with ~three different people just for saying that she didn't think children were innately selfish little shits and that their upbringing had a lot to do with it. I don't think calling out Mervin on her attitude is going to go well. At all.
