I'm guessing it's that the main character's baby is the "destined" lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.
Either way, I think Meyer would've come up with her drivel one way or another.
Could also be about Mormonism more generally and the disturbing amount of children Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, the two key founding figures of their religion, were married to. (I mean, 1 is disturbing enough, but the true number is higher, which is even more disturbing.)
My family is Mormon, I was raised Mormon. Everything about Mormonism is disturbing. It has every single vice attributed to American culture, then, and now. Every form of bigotry, hatred, and fake normalcy. Taking advantage of the desparate and disadvantaged. One leader, Wildrow Woodruff, gave himself hundreds of spiritual wives as birthday presents to himself. Some were dead infants. Imagine mourning the death of your young daughter, only to find out that the old man you believe to be the mouthpiece of God himself, has married her, to be fucked by him in the afterlife. There's so many disturbing pieces of Mormon lore that are normally ignored by non ex-Mormons. Mormons are seen as funny and as having weird beliefs, but not as monsters, which the "good" Mormons are.
Wildrow Woodruff sounds like a dollar store version of Woodrow Wilson. I have nothing more to contribute. I wish to scorch Utah napalm and mustard gas.
I have a racist uncle that's Mormon (like all of my family). He got shot in the head on his mission in Oakland. Unfortunately, he survived. He said that Oakland should be gassed, I immediately said the same about Salt Lake. He ignored me lmao. I'm going no contact so hard with most of my family.
Funny enough folks like your uncle are exactly why I say we should brutalize Utah, too many folks from outside of SoCal run their mouths about LA. Only San Diego and the Inland Empire can talk about burning down LA, outsiders aren't allowed to talk shit.
Also going through SLC was one of the worst driving experiences that didn't involve black ice or snow that I've ever had, couldn't even look at porn at the rest stop afterwards because of Utah shitty porn laws.
Utah and Idaho are late stage capitalistic theocratic hellscapes. Shame, because Utah is beautiful.
Same with Idaho, the Snake River and Craters of the Moon are godsdamned awe inspiring and then ya talk to the people. The Native Americans are the only particularly tolerable folks, that and the occasional Californian who is up there cause it's cheap.
Oh, I've been on the Snake River, in Montana though. Didn't realize it was that long. My grandparents own a cabin up there in West Yellowstone. We're old money Mormons. It's... not great. One of my ancestors owned a company that paved Salt Lake. Another was the second wife of Joseph Smith's bodyguard. I'll never forgive those dumbasses (there were many more) for what they did to so many people. I'm sure that I'm related to the racist farmers pretty closely, sorry about that. God, I hate most Mormons. It's like they don't have a single hobby or ounce of personality.
Wow that is some old bastard blood ya got, but it ain't your sins nor your crimes. The actions of our ancestors are not our own unless we claim them, three branches of my ancestry helped expand the institution of slavery in the South I repudiat those actions. Those same three branches Harrowed the North back during the Norman conquests which due to the impacts on my ancestry and our history I fully support.
Funnily enough my neighbor when I was a child who was like a grandfather to me came from a similar Mormon background to you. He was a descendant of Brigham Young, he was a good man who wished Young was his contemporary so he could've killed him.
I've been watching a lot of ex-Mormon Alyssa Grenfell on YouTube lately and learning just how disturbing it is, both from a doctrinal perspective and in terms of the history.
She's pretty good. I got my information by looking through tons of stories and monstrosities on r/exmormon, until my accounts got permabanned like 3 separate times. Kinda miss that place. Maybe I'll make another in a month or two.
That's a bit fucked up.
Just a little biiiiittt
