Shades of Grey

[reformedcharacter]

I call bullshit. If that was the case Mein Kampf would have the same sales as Fifty Shades of Grey - same basic style. They're both full of bullshit too

Mein Kampf - otherwise known as 50 Shades Of Cunt

Dumb question but does mentioning that book mean I just Godwin'd the thread?

See you don't get the book... it's about how a Vanilla girl reaches the power hungry corporate hunk who needs to learn how to love.

I get the book. I just think it's plot is horribly unrealistic. Wealthy men aren't the type to fly in and play financial and emotional Superman to average women. That's a part of the fantasy. If you were to remove all of the plot content that has absolutely no basis in reality, the book becomes about a rich guy and his sex slave. *shrug*

I could say the same thing about most the porn you all watch...

the difference is it isn't socially acceptable be seen enjoying it on the tube to work in the morning

More proof we women may not have much power in the world but we do rule the roost.

Yes. Yes you could. Men don't defend their favorite porn titles by claiming there's some sort of value to the porn's unrealistic story-line or oversimplified character interactions, though. Porn is porn whether we're talking internet content, DVD, or a book. It only exists to get off; Not to become the basis for fan clubs filled with fuckin' idiots who provide credence and credit where it's simply not due.

I don't think any person has claimed there's social value to 50 Shades of Grey

O, RLY?
I guess you're right.

I don't mean to sound like I'm bitter at you just for reading it. I know YOU have enough sense in your head to see the book for what it is, and after all, there's not a damn thing wrong with porn. I just feel it's getting far too much public recognition for no good reason.

It's a joke within most of the BDSM community
