Jacob isn’t a bad character, he was just put in the hands of the wrong author.

The way people demonize Jacob and do everything they can to diminish his complexity or any of his redeeming qualities in hopes of explaining why Edward is better (the "right choice) or just how Jacob is shitty and you shouldn't like him... Im used to people online missing nuance or just ignoring it when its come to certain characters...but most of the criticism revolving Jacobs character is just so fucking stupid.

The imprinting - Stated multiple times not a fucking choice, Jacob States how much he hates it. The idea of losing control or at least just autonomy, I was genuinely baffled when people online managed to shit on him for something he literally can't fucking control. His disdain for imprinting is a lot more prevalent in the books or at least just explained. A lot of his fights with Bella about Edward are about her potentially losing herself to become a vampire. and The sacrifices of which she will be making if she turns into a vampire. His immaturity in comparison to pasty white disco ball - Is he immature yes, but he is also 16 years old and that pasty tampon is 107 I think....It makes more sense for Jacob to struggle to be as mature because he isn't an adult, he is a minor. I know that Edward is supposed to be mentally stuck at 17 but wtf does that mean like really explain...maturity is something learnt through experience, cognitive development etc. The werewolf transformation is also insinuated to not just affect them physically but mentally. Its more than just the ability to shape shift. It changes the nature of which they fucking function. Regardless of whether you ship Edward an Bella or just like Edward there is a prevalent power imbalance...He is controlling and overbearing..he isn't young or youthful he has "lived", he acts like An adult and treats his peers and especially Bella as if she is younger. There relationship isn't equal.

anyway, long redundant probably incorrect rant, I just wanted to defend Jacob...
