Re: Rape Fantasies and...Rape Apologism?

[(Anonymous)]

You weren't wrong. But the thing is that, while you're correct that it really is ravishment porn and nothing more, it's being MARKETED as LITERATURE. And as "an accurate portrayal of BDSM," which it is not. That is why it's so gross. If the author/publisher were being honest about what 50 Shades actually is, I think most people who complain wouldn't have an issue. But it's being dishonestly marketed, it IS having a negative effect on people because of that. Ask a few BDSM folks sometimes about the large influx of ignorant newbies with extremely harmful and dangerous ideas, that correlates EXACTLY with the rise in popularity of 50 Shades, and many of whom are quite open about the fact that 50 Shades is where they're getting their inspiration. Ask a LOT of women about the way that quite a few skeevy men are trying very hard to use 50 Shades and its popularity as "proof" that all women want to be dominated and controlled by men, which is being to some degree abetted by the media. These things are why 50 Shades is a problem. Not because it's a ravishment fantasy porno, but because everyone associated with it is actively going out of their way to promote the stuff that happens in it as sexy and awesome. Stuff like stalking, terrifyingly controlling behavior, emotional abuse, literal forcible rape. That stuff belongs in ravishment fantasies. It doesn't belong in "literature" that is heavily promoted as being an accurate picture of what a sexy awesome romantic relationship looks like.
