That's very true, and I can understand the fantasy aspect; I actually dislike Twilight less than I used to, because I've come to think of it as a Harlequin novel. It's pure fantasy and I think there's less of an issue with the series itself (oh, and there are plenty) than with people who read it and accept it as fact.
Triangles bother me, because there's always somebody getting hurt and in stories, at least, it's actually never their fault. There's this back and forth tugging among the parties and really, for fantasy writers, do they believe so little in the female perspective (especially considering most of the writers are female)? That most women would do this? Especially when they're simultaneously being written as one stop away from awesome?

Maybe that's what really bothers me...
