@ ladyschrei From what I've noticed, a lot of people look down on it because they find it 'creepy' and 'abusive'. They're mostly just largely misinformed about it.
Lol I wish there was more BDSM fics on Mibba, there seems to be a lacking of them around this site.
I don't see why people would look down on BDSM. I won't lie, I didn't know what that was until this year, but I see nothing wrong with it as long as it itsn't turned into sexual abuse, like you said.
I've never done anything involving BDSM (still a virgin here lol) but I like to read BDSM fanfictions so I have a bit of an idea of some of the things that are involved. That, and one time I looked it up on Wikipedia to find out what it really was lol XD
But, all that aside, I see nothing wrong with BDSM or anyone who partakes in it. Besides, it's no one else's business. LOL.
@ AmorarEsDeVivir I won't read it because I know if the BDSM is as bad as people say, it'll only make me kind of angry. >.>
I only know about what's in the book based on what people have told me, so I'm not familiar enough with it to make a claim about whether it's actual BDSM or just glorifying abuse. All I can do is encourage people not to take it as a truly accurate representation. From what I've been told, it is inaccurate but not exactly considered abuse. To me, it seems like Christian simply moved way too fast with Ana, a novice shouldn't ever be introduced to things like electrical play so quickly like people said the book did. But like you, I don't really have any room to make real judgement on the book
I was discussing this with Bella the other day. I haven't read the book either, nor do I intend to, if for no other reason than I've heard the smut is very badly written and I couldn't possibly take it seriously. But the accusations and claims of abuse bother me, because of exactly what you're discussing here.
Of course, if the book grossly misrepresents BDSM and dominant/submissive relationships in a way that portrays them as abusive (if that makes sense at all), then that's something else; I'm not familiar enough with BDSM or with the book to make that call.
Oh I know xD
Lol jk but yeah. If someone thinks BDSM is abuse, they can go fuck themselves with a spikey dildo
