You know, I could appreciate at first the concern people had - it's never good for popular things to be modelling abusive relationships, after all, and if there's a possibility that it's happening, that needs to be addressed.
That said, read that list.
Tell me the examples are not weak and/or ridiculous.
I don't have the context for Edward wrecking her car and trying to keep her from seeing her friends, but I am willing to believe that they willfully excluded dimensions of the story - such as, idk, the legitimate danger that comes from hanging around vampires and werewolves?
Nevermind that there's a difference between patterns of abuse and single behaviours and it drives me batshit when people don't bother to differentiate between the two.
EXAMPLE OF OVERPOWERING/OVERRIDING AND MAKING ALL DECISIONS:
SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT

In what strange parallel dimension would I ever have gone to prom of my own free will? If you weren't a thousand times stronger than me, I would never have let you get away with this.
