Very negative, saying the books & people who liked them were stupid among other things. Crazy. why get SO upset about something you can't just opt out of? It'll all blow over shortly. And yes, I agree about better use of time and energy. If you think they're that horrible, write something better.

I feel like, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and yes everyone has freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean you should use your freedom of speech to try to force others to live according to your beliefs. There are so many other things people could put that time and energy towards! There are children in this world starving, being abused, being trafficked. There are animals being tortured and abandoned. There are veterans living in poverty.

I usually only post once a week, and I have to go back and edit a few times before publishing but I just did not have the time or the ability to do that yesterday. I came back to read it this morning and UGH. This sounds like the manifesto of an insane person. But I stand by the thoughts. I hate the way people are being snobby and terrible about this movie/books and the way people do that all the time. Don't try to make other people feel like crap b/c you don't like what they like. That really drives me crazy. I mean, jokes are jokes. Let's all joke and laugh and have fun, but when you start using negative words, you make people who actually ENJOY the thing feel bad. What is the point of that? I would rather be a horrible writer than a horrible person. I mean, clearly.<br />Thanks for reading. I'm so glad you had Valentine's candy!

People are immediately afraid, and people HATE things that make them feel fear. <br />Also, I see writers putting down the writing. Maybe it's not War and Peace, but obviously this writing was good enough to be published, to sell enormous amounts of copies, and even be made into a movie. Put your jealousies and anything else aside, and be glad for an author, won't you? Books make people happy, you don't need to poke your negativity into that.

I can see this post being used as evidence in a trial to have me committed. I did not read the books, so I can't comment on quality of content but I CAN tell you that Anne Rice commented on the books and said that the writing was quality enough to be published, and that is a good point. YEAST INFECTION, 2 words that should NEVER be included in anyone's fantasy! And that is what this is intended to be, fantasy. Might be weird to some, but that's what is great about fantasy, it's not reality so you can push to unrealistic limits. It's why I love it. Reality is so boring and restrictive. <br />I kind of love Kanye. In a "love to hate him" kind of way.

I kinda think it might.

A...Oh I do love it when you're in ranting mode! And I love the way you use humour to get your point across. Couldn't agree with you more.<br />As for 50 Shades, great idea, but poorly executed (seriously, if anyone had sex as often as they did, the woman would have a severe yeast infection) and should not have come under the banner of BDSM. Unfortunately, a lot of the controversy comes from those who have admitted to never have read the book, but cries of rape and domestic abuse are unfounded, though I did question one scene.<br /><br />Oh bless Kanye, who lives in Kanye land on the top of Kayne mountain.

Anytime a Young Adult book goes mainstream, it means it's not that bad. I wanted to punch Bella in her stupid face and I could NOT look at Kristen Stewart long enough to watch more than 5 minutes of the first movie, but again they weren't FOR me. It's like when a movie critic rips all over a kids movie. The good ones will at least say, "The kids in the theater seemed to be laughing and having fun" well, that's good because THEY are the intended audience of a kid's movie. Not an adult critic.

I completely agree with you on all of this. I...YES! I completely agree with you on all of this. I actually wrote an entire thing right after the books came out because I was so sick of people using a silly book as a platform to bash other people and make them feel superior to anyone that read the books. That seems to be the way it goes. After something becomes big and a big group of people start liking it, ...then it becomes a trend to hate that very thing. It really is such a dumb practice in our society. It's like when the Twilight thing became so big, all of a sudden it was more popular to actually hate the books. So you were only a "cool kid" if you hated Twilight. Our society makes these stupid ass rules, and people fall right into the ignorance of it all. If anyone uses a book or television show as a way to try and feel superior or more intelligent than another person, than they really need to find a better way because they actually look more like a dumb ass than anything! ...and here I am being all judgmental... ;) ;) Vaginahttp://hdfloyd73.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221717568608371907.post-14698882555049133112015-02-13T08:20:28.020-08:002015-02-13T08:20:28.020-08:00Agreed.

Rape culture exists because of a criminal disregard for the necessity of consent. Yet I believe that consent was front and centre in 50 Shades -- didn't they sign a contract? What consenting adults do together is not rape culture.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
