Fifty Shades of. . . Why, Exactly?

A blunt critique

By Alice B. Schellinger. Published 11 months ago Updated 11 months ago 1 min read

The Fifty Shades of Grey franchise has been nothing short of shocking since its release. From books to films, the story is less of a nod to the BDSM community and more of a glamorization of outdated “romance” tropes that show women that love should hurt. Highly would not recommend.
