That's what I read in the books initially. A girl that can see past his facade and and a boy that only wants to be loved... Maybe it's the mother in me that wants to see a boy be saved from not being loved, or the women in me that thinks we can change a man, who knows, but I honestly did not see the rest of it until it was put into a movie, where words are not fancied up or used to create a different perspective to what it really is. It somehow has ruined the books for me now. In the real world where there are no words to create a different ending, this would not end well for most women

I read something today which made me laugh, cos its kind of true
.....
I cant find it, but it was along the lines of the only reason Fifty Shades of Grey is romantic is because he is a billionaire, if he lived in a trailer it would be an episode of criminal minds
 
But we have just all found about McGrath shooting animals, so the raw public anger and disgust hasn't had time to go away yet. Give it a few days and it will die down.

In regards to the Bali nine executions, have the protests been that big? I wouldn't have thought that many Australian (except for family and friends of the bali 9) would really care what happened to them. I certainly don't.

In a trailer, the red room would be a cellar underground I suppose.

Mr Darcy will always win.
 
@Trala I think you probably get what I was trying to say now anyway but if I can try to make what I was saying more clearer - all that I was saying is that it isn't ironic to publicly shame or want a person imprisoned (somebody specifically said to me it wasn't legal and it seems that was wrong) for a hunting activity while also wanting a person on another thing not want to face execution. It would only be ironic (and unprincipled) if you said on the one hand that execution was morally wrong and then said someone should be executed for hunting activities.
Yeah I do.

Sorry I missed your point first time round, babe.

But I do disagree with you.

In my mind you can correctly use the term "ironic" in relation to this situation, I think it would be ironic if you can find it in your heart to forgive and support two men who were publicly remorseful, who made a poor choice by using young misfits to smuggle drugs, but not forgive and support a man who was publicly remorseful, who made a poor choice by participating in a legal hunting ground in order to senselessly kill some of our most magnificent beasts... 7 years ago.

Personally I think the word is being used correctly in that context.

And that's so true! I've not read the books, but I've read excerpts, and it's abusive trash. How anyone can see a love story in there is beyond me. I would forgive people for not realising how legitimately terrifying the whole thing is if it was written well and the abuse was concealed with some nice wording, but it reads like a twelve year old just skimmed the Wikipedia article on BDSM and felt a little horny and decided to try some writing instead of having a wank.

Honestly thats pretty much how they read! I have heard it started off as twilight fanfic, so that says a lot too

Yup, it did. At that point it was called Master of the Universe and the author's online pen name was fucking Snowqueens Icedragon. What a joke.

I wanna write bad fanfic and make millions!
 
It does seem lucrative! Just don't resort to passing off at least four counts of rape in one book as well as countless other instances of abuse as romantic. ;)

is it rape if her inner goddess does yoga?

@Reaper & @Trala 2 cents - I wonder if they actually meant hypocritical (behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case). Double-standards caught up in a lot of outrage.
 
I would TOTALLY ILLEGALLY download that

So would I! (not really as I am aware that illegally downloading stuff is the most awful thing that you can ever do in your life, much worse than murder, and that all those poor millionaires need their private jets and tropical islands so that they can be rich in peace and tranquility away from the common people like myself.).
