What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

^ Pretty much this.

The fact there's 3 of those abominations and a film is just disgusting. I wish she'd have her hands sliced off and tounge pulled out so she can never spread her filth across this planet again, absolutely abhorrent to glorify this.

Just round them up and destroy them pls.

I'm not going to get much into this because it's completely useless.

And srsly, Simbaholic? You should check a doctor, what you just said makes you even worse than people who write mature content, IMO. Wishing those things to a person is childish as hell. Just my opinion.

Coming from someone who glorifies a book like that, your opinion means very, very little to me.

And I couldn't care a less about that, coming from someone like yourself.

Promotion of abuse =/= mature content. I feel there was a line that was crossed somewhere a long time ago, jesus christ.

And so? People who think they can do what happens in books in real life are just plain stupid.
I'm not some kind of psycho just because I read that book. I'm free to read whatever I want, that's all. And if you can't respect that, then there's a problem.
It's like games, I don't turn aggressive just because I played violent games.

And NO, just because I LIKE something, that doesn't mean I GLORIFY it.

No, you're not. The issue here isn't that people enjoy the book, it's the book itself that's harmful to society because some people don't realise that it's not a healthy potrayal of a relationship at all and end up being victims of abuse because of it. It's normalising and romanticising a devastating situation that literally anyone can end up in.

It hasn't affected you. That's good, but what about the people whom it did affect?

Honestly, I think the biggest problem is that many people don't exactly understand BDSM relationships. FSoG definitely isn't the best representation of it, but many people blame it on "the BDSM", which is associated with "abuse", sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the book, I'm just giving a "random opinion" related to BDSM and society, to be honest.

Also, I don't understand where this discussion came from, nor who is "glorifying" the book/movie. xKendo simply compared it to GoT, which features things such as abusive relationships, rape, etc mostly during it's first season. Although it also features such aspects, GoT was highly loved and glorified. I'm not defending FSoG, as I understand and can also see everything stated here, I simply can't understand why both didn't receive equal hate.

But, seriously, people, insulting each other over this? Is that seriously necessary?

She literally said what I was going to say.
It is bad that there are actual people who can't understand that real life =/= books, but I can't stand that people insult other just because they like to read these stuff .-.

Yup, the problem here is that clueless teens are definitely gonna be curious and read it, and want a relationship just like the one presented because they don't know any better. It's just saddening that it has to happen in the first place. Of course it's not like abuse is gonna stop if the book is gone, but it's just saddening knowing that people have been and will be affected by it negatively.

Maybe there should be a compromise of a mandatory note somewhere in media explaining that the contents are not healthy.

This wasn't supposed to get heated, sorry. I just have a friend who ended up being stuck in an abusive relationship like the one potrayed in that book and it really hits a nerve with me.
