Let's be fair: most people don't talk about 50SoG reinforcing preexisting ideas, but how it could cause women to get into an abusive relationship.

The first is a perfectly valid criticism and I agree completely with it (though I wish people focused more on RL instead of just the books/movie. Fight the disease and not the symptoms and all that), but the second it's just as annoying as the other extreme even if it's intended as an hyperbole.

And I think most people* see 50SoG as a silly fantasy they enjoy reading and not as a romantic ideal, which proves they have far more awareness than they get credit for.

*At least the people I know both offline and online who like 50SoG are like that. There may be exceptions, but that's true for anything.
