I wrote up a long rant about BDSM fiction
Simply because I had to get it out of my system. (and posted it in my more private journal)
But now I'm trying to decide whether or not I should post it here too. lol?
1. Despite my gender/sexuality tag, I don't think I've ever actually talked about sex in depth on this journal. I don't want to change that. It's not that I mind being open about this shit, but eh. Just for pragmatic reasons I'd have to keep everything carefully locked down.
2. Not sure anyone would care.
3. Not sure if I'm talking out of my ass. (Clearly my feelings about all this are in the minority.) Plus it's really just a lot of incoherent ranting -- probably not that great for discussion.
It's vaguely related to my (locked) Twilight post a couple years ago, but not a rehash. More accurately it has to do with my frustration with 50Shades -- but not so much 50Shades as its ongoing cultural impact (especially as someone who keeps a close eye on publishing). Like Twilight, I have serious mixed feelings about the series (oh yeah, it's shit, but is it really fair to judge the people who do enjoy the books? I'm not sure)
Oh well. I'll think about it... because clearly this has been bugging me for a long time now... and I haven't posted anything really interesting beyond manga blather this year....
