Twilight plays a huge part, but what's really interesting is that, if you think about it, a lot of female-oriented fiction and media does that as well. Including those that aren't targeted at the younger females, which I initially thought was the major problem.
I was looking over the recommendations of a Young Adult Reading List, and a lot of them had that dreaded three-way love triangle, which surprised me. Though it shouldn't, because yeah, of course, these are young adult novels and it's just a fantasy; most outgrow the idea and know that it's silly, that it doesn't really work like that, that drama is waaaay over-rated.
ARGH, what am I even talking about. Sometimes I confuse myself.
I'll have to look up his works! I actually have a graphic novel version of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" that I got as a gift, so I need to crack that open!
