I love utterson so much I really do but his sense of humour being how it is I know if I knew him in real life I'd make slapping him into a sport.

i legit can't stand most talks about books like 50sog or 365 days because the conversation legit devolve into "won't someone think of the poor stupid women who might read them and think it's romantic and ok? :(" REAL QUICK.

like, sure. talk about how badly written they are or whatever. in case of after, the cautionary talk of "hey, this isn't ok irl. if someone does this thing to you in your relationship, get out quick" still make sense and acceptable bc the series audience are predominantly teens. but the other two series were meant for adults. just because they're trashy erotica meant for adult women doesn't mean you have to treat their inteded audience as stupid.

people point out sometimes how the criticisms of these series are often drenched in misogyny and the critics would quickly argue that pointing out all the dangers and red flags depicted in the stories isn't misogyny and neither is criticising books written by women meant for other women. but that's not it. it's the way you go about it. it's the way you treat adults like they don't -- and can't -- know any better if they pick up these books and, god forbid, like them. it's the way your criticisms seem to assume that the audience of these books would immediately look for their irl counterpart of christian grey or whatever.

you can't talk to adults like they're children. and these stories are so concretely aimed for women, and the way they're criticised for all their dumb stuff is so different than the way other books of other genre get criticised for their dumb stuff; of course people would link that to misogyny. and it is. even if you don't realise it, you're still operating with the biases that women need to be protected and coddled because their stupid little tiny brain can't know better. you just think it's okay and fair game because the subject matter is something so ridiculous and, indeed, contains reckless handling of dangerous scenarios. that's still not reason to assume its audience are dumb.

this rant is brought to you by: i adore amanda the jedi but good lord, her comment section can be so unbearable at times when it comes to these sort of stories.
