My problem with 50SoG is not that it's a ravishment fantasy. It's that it is an abusive relationship presented as a romance with a few minor difficulties.

I have no issue with fiction depicting messed up relationships, rape, or any other dangerous/unhealthy behaviors as long as it knows that's what it's doing.

50SoG does not. It's marketed as, and ELJames has called it, a sweet romance with some kink. The kink is then presented as the unhealthy part, when it's the controlling, gaslighting behaviour Christian inflicts on Ana that's the real problem. And she stands up to him at the end... and then goes right back to him in the next book, where the whole cycle of his being horrible to her then 'fixing' it repeats again. It's like looking at a textbook abusive relationship, but there is never any acknowledgement in or out of the text that it is.

THAT's my problem with it. Go have all the kinky fantasies you want, go write all the non-consensual sex you want. Fiction is fiction, and we don't need to be protected from fantasies. But stop holding it up as a perfect romantic relationship -- THAT is dangerous.
