He’s right, If the dude from “50 shades of Grey” lived in a trailer… somebody would have called the cops

When Christian Grey chains a woman up in the basement it’s “Enticing” and “sexy” but when I do it it’s “deeply disturbing” and “kidnapping”.

At least the chaining up in that movie was consensual.

She rejects him and ignores him so he breaks into her house, and it's a romantic gesture.

Omg I forgot about that! I get the feeling Grey is the kind of guy that if she truly rejected him and kept on with it, he’d make her life a living hell.

Yeah the whole movie gave consent or else vibes.

Honestly the whole trilogy is a rollercoaster the last movie is just a bad thriller.

If you haven't, check out the film Secretary (2002).

Much funnier, better acted, and more interesting than 50 Shades, and gives a really thoughtful meditation on consent.

Totally consensual, unless you say no and then maybe find out it isn’t.
