50 shades of issues?

There is a big debate about the 50 shades of Grey movie.  When the books came out, people made it a big deal as well.  I read all three books to see what the issue was about and found that it was exactly what to expect from this book [IT IS PORN!] It is like every other lady's romance novel.   If people is making a big issue about one book series,  then do the same with the other romantic novels and not single out just this one.

Another reason is the writing is horrible and/or it is Twilight fan fiction.   I agree completely with that statement!   Yes I didn't agree with Twilight nor did I like it!  I felt like it was a major let down and there was so much that could have been done with it.  I know what I was getting myself into when reading 50 shades of Grey and yes the writing was bad, but it wasn't to the point that you couldn't read the book.  For me it was a guilty reading pleasure.   I also found myself having a hard time reading books similar to it.

Some argue that it doesn't represent the BDSM community.   There is a difference between BDSM and a Dominant and submissive relationship.  It does uses the terms and what not that is used in BDSM and D/s relationship.  Though I do agree that in start of their weird relationship could be seen as date rape.   Others will argue that he is abusive, not BDSM or D/s relationship.   Yes he is abusive because the author added a twist (he had a drug addict mother and he likes to beat little brown haired girls that reminds him of his mother).  On a psychological point of view makes it interesting to read.

I'm not saying people need to read this book series or go to see the movie,  but I am saying that you should stop bashing it.  I thought twilight (both books and movies) were terrible,  but I am not going to make a big deal about it like people are doing about 50 shades of Grey.

Word of advice:
People need to stop raining on others opinions because the same can be done about the things that you like.  Don't like the book, don't like the movie?  Don't read it, don't watch it!
