And if it was labeled as rape fantasy rather than BDSM, I'd have less of a problem. I have a problem with erotica in general that has rape scenes that the book/author pretends are consensual. Label it what it is.

[siofrabunnies]

Oh, I completely agree with you there. That's also a recurring problem in romance novels, right up there with "it's not rape if she enjoys it".

Hell, I'd be fine with a page at the start saying "This is fantasy only. Here are some abuse hotlines/websites. Etc."

[othellia]

This, although replace "rape" with "emotional/mental abuse."

The thing that annoys me about FSoG is the fact that the BDSM aspect gets brought out over and over again (whether it's abuse/just fantasy), but the scariest things are the parts where he stalks her, yells at her, calls her "fucking stupid", and Anastasia keeps internalizing all of it.

Happily(?) though, a lot of the reviews have been pointing out the disturbing aspects of this vs focusing on the sex. Probably because the movie was such a softcore R.

and that's the really insiduous way it normalizes the things people are less likely to immediately recognize as abuse.

my dad calls my mother "fucking stupid" every day of her life. it's not out of love, and it's not romantic. it's nothing anyone with a shred of self-respect (which has been whittled away in my mother after years of this behavior) should aspire to or want.
