I Just Realized Something...
16 years ago
Okay, for the record, I hate Twilight. Maybe it's because I don't think vampires should sparkle. Maybe it's because I had fads. Maybe it's because I have a kid sister IRL that has brought the over-saturation of the damn saga to my own family.
Anyways, I had a little revelation relating to the Twilight saga today. For those fortunate enough not to know, the Twilight series is basically about a love triangle between a teenage girl named Bella, a vampire named Edward, and a werewolf named Jacob. So, tomorrow at my local mall, a few actors from the Twilight movies are going to be signing autographs. When I left the mall at close, there were already about two or three dozen people in line, with lawnchairs and sleeping bags. A good number of these were young girls, maybe 16-18ish.
My first urge as I passed by this line was to inform all of these fanatics that they were just this side of insane, waiting overnight just to get a scribble on a piece of paper. Then I noticed a few of the shirts they were wearing. Two in particular really stuck out to me; 'You can have your vampire, I WANT THE WOLF' and 'I'll HOWL for Jacob'
I thought about those for a moment, and then it struck me. Massively popular movie, hooking young girls into fawning over a sexy werewolf...wanting to join his pack and be a werewolf with him...'Holy shit'. I thought. 'This movie is going to tug a lot of young, teenage girls towards furry.'
Seriously, think about it. One of the MAJOR starting points for the furry fandom was the were community. Now there's a very popular teen romance flick with a werewolf as one of the main characters. It's going to be like what Interview with the Vampire did for goths. So yeah, for all you straight furs complaining about there not being enough straight girls in the fandom...
Happy hunting, more are probably coming, and they'll be hot for wolves ;)

Ive talked to alot of these girls who obsess over twilight... its sad really.
And persoanlly.... more then half of them wouldnt get the furry thing,
think its wierd and move on and the other half would be creeped out. or
they will try to bring out the fan fiction, or Edward cullen fan-art....
Which would be VERY bad seeing as twilight is already a wet dream orgasmed
all over the paper in horribly written and boring context of brooding teenagerdom.
And honestly, if you read much from Yiffstar at all, we're not that high on literary standards around this here fandom :P
impression. Only a small few have been able to pull it off and
when they do its damn breath of fresh air.
and my point still stands.
It's a shame that he's probably not one of the "good" guys...guessing from what I know of "ooh, vampires!"
