Fifty Shades is the equivalent to how popular pseudo lesbian porn "helped" make lesbian and bi women seem less scary. That incredibly crappy film was a start towards eventually socially liberating the BDSM community....no matter how hard they point and laugh at it. They have my knowing sympathy. XD

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

50 Shades actually made things worse. 50 Shades of Grey had a non-consensual relationship where the victim suddenly developed Stockholm syndrome. No safe word or anything. BDSM is, when you get to the bottom of it, consensual. Everyone is there willingly and if they get too uncomfortable, if they get scare, heck even if they just get bored and don't feel like continuing THEY. CAN. STOP.

The series glorifies an abusive relationship and the "BDSM" acts in the books are sometimes done in an unsafe way and since lots and lots of people decided to try BDSM due to those books there was a documented increase in people getting injured and requiring a visit to the emergency room. ...Also a study found out that people who have read the books are more likely to suffer from eating disorders, have abusive relationships, engage in stalking and do binge drinking. Though the study was not certain if the books were causing this behaviour or if the books were simply popular among those people. And I'm not even joking, you can read about it on the Wikipedia article for the books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifty_Shades_of_Grey#Glorification_of_abusive_relationships
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

These are all good points. Had a brainfart and forgot that 50 Shades is to BDSM what Not Another Gay Movie is to gay people. My bad. :(

Also, part of 50 Shades' popularity is linked to the rise of e-readers, so people could read their erotica in public without other people being able to see what book they were reading.

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

wasn't that what swapping dust jackets was for?

This is unusual because alternative sexualities and lifestyles such as polyamoury usually are accepted as part of the queer movement, even though, like BDSM, they don't necessarily include sexual or sexuality issues in the same way as L, G, B or T issues do.

Since when is poly an uncontroversial part of queer coalitions? I've seen exactly the same arguments about including kink in LGBT on the subject of polyamoury

I have a very hard time imagining Sigma being kinky.

I don't.

Now, I'm curious as to whether peeps think I'm kinky.
Does anyone take Donald Trump seriously, anymore?

Best guess is vanilla with a touch of femdom. Though my best guess is still a wild guess.

Same here.

I keep imagining Sigma going all Moderator on the person they're with...

...I am weird.

^^ I think you probably are. Like Eiki said, for some reason mentioning kink and you brings up images of Femdom.

How is kink defined? We already know you have a predilection for sex toys.

I though I'd mentioned it before? Certainly more often than being poly, which has only been going on for like a month.

Anyway, yeah.
