Well... the way I see it (as a youngish female sub) is this:

Twilight's not "dangerous" or anything because ultimately it's fantasy. Edward is a vampire; you will never meet an Edward. You may meet a stalker-ish, abusive, controlling asshole, but you will never meet an Edward.

Fifty Shades, on the other hand, is "dangerous" exactly because it doesn't draw a clear line between fantasy and reality. Christian is a stalkerish, abusive, controlling asshole who lures in an innocent woman under the guise of BDSM and does lots of sketchy, borderline rape-y things to her. Unfortunately, you may meet plenty of Christians in real life if you don't know what you're doing. But largely, the reason 50 Shades is so problematic is that for a lot of people, it is their first contact with BDSM, or something that looks like it (I've said before that 50 Shades is a rape roleplay without the framing device of an actual roleplay), and so they can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality there. They aren't stupid by any means, neither women nor men, but BDSM, like a whip or a sub or a relationship of any sort, isn't a toy, and 50 Shades treats all four as such.

Great description of why the '50 Shades' craze is making me a tad concerned. We need to get the word out.
