In this re-imagined narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a pro-feminist visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy's eyes, some of the more sexist gender roles and patriarchal Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed - in hilarious ways. Ultimately this remix is about more than a decisive showdown between the slayer and the sparkly vampire. It also doubles as a metaphor for the ongoing battle between two opposing visions of gender roles in the 21ist century.

I agree that you can see that in a number of films. However, when a girl these days talk about a man they want -- with descriptions of such damaging behavior -- they don't cite Pretty in Pink or Say Anything. They cite Twilight. And they were doing that well before the movie was made.
The writer is to certainly partially blame, but her story is also not unique, it fits into the larger pattern of the standard Hollywood themes. That is framing stalking and predatory, controlling or overprotected male behavior as "romantic" - even look at 80's comedies like Pretty in Pink or Say Anything - both filled with stalky behavior that's is meant to make people swoon.
It's interesting that the pro-feminist take is from a show created by a man while the more sexist gender stereotypes come from the book written by, and a film directed by a women.
