I never thought 50 Shades of Grey would receive the kind of whiplash reactions in movie form as it did when the books were first published. They became special to you–possibly the most important books you’ve read in your entire life–and now it seems that the world is against them. For whatever reason, these books captured your imagination and brought you a large amount of enjoyment. Maybe you were shocked at how closely they resembled your own fantasies. Maybe you read the books and thought they were the most gripping, well-written pieces of fiction ever. The same for “It’s just fiction!” I understand where the impulse is coming from 50 Shades of Grey has caused some women to have a “sexual awakening,” or began their interest in reading altogether. I’d need both my hands, my feet, and someone else’s hands and feet (preferably not severed) to count the number of times “Get over it!” has appeared on my Facebook timeline this week. You type, “It’s just a movie! Get over it!” It almost feels like you, personally, are being called into question. You log onto Facebook to tell people how much you liked it, and BAM! You’re slapped in the face with shared articles about how it promotes abuse, about how Christian Grey is a stalker, about why the books aren’t a good example of a healthy D/s relationship. You liked 50 Shades of Grey and its sequels.
