What I really really hate is all the concern-trolling about how this book/movie is going to teach girls horrible ideas about relationships.
Where is all the concern-trolling about what boys will learn from Transformers? Or from the Sharpe novels? Neither of these are exactly showing healthy male-female relationships, are aimed (although obviously not only enjoyed by!) boys & men, and also are wildly popular. And yet, utter silence on the horrors of what the boys might learn from them.
I think the real problem is that it's liked mostly by teen girls, and everyone knows that teen girls are especially heinous.
