re: #125 Dr Lizardo
So, one of my colleagues was all breathless yesterday that 50 Shades of Grey is being released next week, to which I responded, “Pfft. Watch Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom if you wanna see something scandalous that’s BDSM related.”
She just Skyped me. She was pretty much speechless. She did at least get the idea of the film as an allegory for Fascism. I did warn her that it was, shall we say, explicit.
I read 50 Shades, and to be honest, I wasn’t impressed.
I write kinky erotica and I loathed 50 Shades. The writer knows nothing, nothing, about BDSM. What’s-his-name, the main character, is a stalker and an abuser. He’s not anything like a real dominant should be; safe, sane and consensual.
It also pissed me off royally that a piece of shit like 50 Shades is a bestseller. Grrrrr.
