I'm so sick of anti-feminist trolls here getting a free pass. [View all]

Why the fuck is it allowed?

Posting flamebait trying to shut down criticism of a movie which as ANYONE WHO PAYS ATTENTION TO FEMINIST ISSUES OR EVEN FUCKING BDSM ISSUES FOR FUCK'S SAKE knows GLORIFIED NON-CONSENSUAL VIOLENCE aka DOMESTIC FUCKING ABUSE.

IT IS GLORFYING AND EROTICIZING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN! (Like SO MUCH porn does these days. 'but sexxx! so that makes it ok, right? as long as it's sexxxy it's just fun!' /kneejerking ignorant assholes)

And the many, many apathetic "so whats" from those too disinterested to consider that perhaps EROTICIZING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN just MIGHT have something to do with the FUCKING PANDEMIC OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

That's it. I'm fucking done. These people get a pass and we're supposed to patiently hold their hands and sweetly phrase our objections to HAVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PORTRAYED AS EROTIC AND ROMANTIC.
