I’ll never stop talking about this. But the fact that Stephanie Meyer took very real legends and stories from the Quileute tribe and centered them around vampires will never sit right with me.
Like bro people care more about pretendians in the twilight franchise than actual native peoples. Not to mention, these films fictionalize genocide and create this narrative that their peoples death resulted from things that aren’t even real, vampires.
thinking about how so many films and shows that have contemporary Native American representation exist to make white peoples feel as comfortable with the fact that they benefit off a system of genocide.
lmaooOoo I hate talking about twilight with non natives 😭 “tEAm edWard thOugh.”
YOO THIS IS TO ALL THE TWILIGHT FANS. Idc who you are, if you have the means to pls consider donating https://twitter.com/mikahsncz/status/1291625058620891142?s=21 https://twitter.com/mikahsncz/status/1291625058620891142
thinking about how this franchise continues to profit off the exploitation of the Quileute tribe and how that money could help their tribe relocate. Donate, share. Once you click on the website there’s a link where you can directly pay pal them!!!
this is so so upsetting. All of these movies have grossed over 3.3 billion dollars yet the Quileute tribe doesn’t see any of that money.
