I like your videos
Yo always notice the digimon in the back
Just your daily reminder; BEING ABUSED DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE PERMISSION TO ABUSE OTHERS. If you were truly hurt by someone, seek help from your friends, family and medical professionals, instead of hurting others and continuing this vicious cycle.
That’s so true, the saying hurt people hurt people may be accurate sometimes but it doesnt make it right at all
Right! You don't have to be what you come from!
@Turquoise Cheetah These comments might not stop an abuser from being abusive, but somebody who faces abuse might come across this comment might find it in themselves to stop justifying their abuser and finally cut ties with them. Some "creative" might come across this comment and think twice about the abuse-glorifying character that they have written into their story/show.
If none of the above happens, I still have the right to comment under a public youtube video. Whether its virtue signalling or not is something for the public to decide. I know my intentions behind posting the comment.
Clearly you've never been abused and have no idea what their going thru but by all means keep talking about what you shud do if ur black when ur not black thats what ur doing hope u feel good about it

It's always super funny to me that somehow someone saw Edward Cullen, 117 year old virgin who cried after his first time and swore off the dirty, and that's the foundation of Christian Grey.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
“..because now I’m behaving like a stalker” ...like an obsessed stalker? ... like an obsessed vampire stalker?? 👀
I like how its framed like "no, you see, its not that bad, Grey is self aware!" Despite the fact it actually makes it WAY worse. Being aware you're stalking but doing it anyway remorselessly is almost WORSE than just having no sense of boundaries.
👀
Obsessed 117 year old virgin Mormon vampire stalker??
That line never fails to make me laugh

"He can't help abusing people because he was abused."

Antônia L. Suarez now that he’s reading Twilight, they could do a video on that together! Or on Grey or something like that. I’d really love to see them collab!
Is no one else going to mention that she opened her beer with a Karambit knife.
I'd recommend a SMART Recovery or Women for Sobriety over AA, but that's just me. 🤷♀️
Perhaps Mikes Hard Lemonade can be the sponsor for the combined video of the next two books. And then AA can sponsor the one after.
"At least Stephanie Meyer's characters listen to good music"
*flashback to New Moon where Bella says she doesn't like music anymore*
Twilight was at its most emo at that point. Bella being "A guy I barely knew left me so I hate all music."
Xehanort10 I mean, I get that’s she’s upset but, girl, ALL music??? Really??
@@Ashley-Lopez Not wanting to hear music that reminded her of Edward would be understandable but Bella not wanting to hear any music ever again was going a bit far.
Idk about y'all, but I think it would have been the perfect time to get Bella *really* into Country music.
Or Disco since Edward really hates that lmaoo
It boggles my mind this series was written by a woman. Grey is written and portrayed like the Chad self insert of an Incell. Seriously, all of this behavior becomes TERRIFYING if you keep EVERYTHING the same but just set it in a trailer park on a welfare / gas station attendant income. 🤯
And like I do think gray is the self insert character, So I just have all the questions that I really don't want the answer to.
OMFG LOL
Yeah, I don't remember who on the 'Tube cracked it, but Christian is the author insert/Mary Sue(/Harry Lou?) here, not Anna. Because E.L. James is a frickin' tyrant and acts exactly. like. Christian. Except with the movie adaptations of her books instead of abusive BDSM relationships. On the odd occasion that her husband crosses my mind, I worry for him.
FiddlebirdBlue it was folding ideas
Dom jeans work so much better in that setting. At least we could accept how trashy it is
Even though Edward has a serious problem with stalking Bella and watching her sleep, I feel like he’s nowhere near as terrible as Christian because at least he never enjoys the thought of abusing her or takes advantage of her while she’s drunk🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 I hate E. L. James so much for bringing 50 shades into the world
At least Edward is always alert for Bella's consent and he would GTFO the second she said she doesn't want to be with him anymore
I've always thought of his obsession as the vampire version of what the wolves went through, but he had more self control
He does say he'd still stake her from afar if she asked him to leave.
Honestly after listening to this I'm going to go read twilight to clear out my ears
You know 50 shades is really bad when you start defending Edward Cullen ☠️
Look, at this point I'll just consider it a win that he never, ever utters the phrase "are you lost baby girl?" and never outright kidnaps her (just some mid-level stalking).
Seriously, Twilight suddenly didn't look so bad after 50 Shades, and then the same happened for 50 Shades when I learned about 365 Days. I'm honestly kinda scared now what kind of literary horror show has to come along next to continue this slow downward spiral of messed up romances.
@@hey_itsmillie Maybe someone will make a romance novel out of one of the horrifying cases where the father locked his young daughters in the basement for 10-20 years and raped them so they would have kids, except the author would likely make it a step-father to follow the disgusting faux incest porn trend.
Kind of feels that is what we can expect after 365 days
I'm honestly still in complete shock everytime I remember that film got made
@@hey_itsmillie Allegedly the Cuties movie is the opposite of what the Netflix poster, blurb, and trailer implied it was. The actual original movie poster sure is completely different from the one Netflix made.
120 days of sodom is light years worse
All three of their themes in one story
There is something I want to say. When a guy doesn’t want you to hang out with other guys and doesn’t let you hang out with them, it won’t stop there. They will at some point not want you to hangout with your friends, and then it will escalate to your family and who knows what else. I speak from personal experience and this is what happened. This goes for men too. If your girlfriend doesn’t want you hanging out with other girls it will escalate to what I said. When your partner doesn’t want you hanging out with the opposite gender, you need to leave that relationship! It will only get worse from there.
Exactly!
Hear, hear.
In 2021, the Pence rule makes all the sense. Hang out with all the women you want, as long as your wife/so is there and there are witnesses to kill any metoo false allegations BS.
It's why companies aren't even hiring or mentoring women anymore in some cases. Throw in 'anti-racism' and before long this will be a non-coed, segregated nation. At least then no one can accuse anyone of anything and all spaces are safe. We did it!
@@RobertMorgan Robert that has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion, it was about tactics abusers use to remove their victim from their support systems, slowly overtime so they don't realise and by the time they do, and want out, they can't ask anyone for help easily.
Which goes for both men and women, though unfortunately women are far more likely to be the victim of it.
Also, me too bs? I know who I don't want to be in a room with, it's you. Anyone that calls it bs clearly has 1) never spoken to a woman in their life about what harrassment they have received (hint, it's more than you think, a hell of a lot more) 2) doesn't have any respect for women. Feel free to correct me on this, but considering how you have worded everything, that is the general vibe I'm getting.
As for anti-racism? Why is that even an issue for you??? That's a GOOD thing. It means people are not being discriminated against for their race and are being treated with respect. Please clarify. Robert racism is a bad thing. People not wanting to be called slurs, have rude remarks aimed at them because of their race, and not being killed by police for existing is extremely reasonable.
It will not result in segregation of people (it's the last thing anyone wants, why do you think particularly people of colour would want that again??), it is simply people wanting to be treated with respect and not get assaulted/killed and treated like a human being, regardless of their gender, sexuality or race.
It's that simple. Literally "hey, don't be a wanker and don't assault people".
Safe spaces are made for particular groups of people, mostly because sometimes people outside of those spaces are hostile and extremely intolerant, and it's good to have support groups. I myself are in an autism support group, because I'm autistic and non-autistic people have different experiences that I cannot share with them. But I can share similar experiences with other autistic people, and we can learn from each other.
Heck, you could argue churches are a safe space for Christians.
Here in Australia, we have men's sheds. Mental health for men is particularly important, especially as we have a blokey culture here. Men's mental health in general worldwide is also not very good, it's appalling actually. There needs to be more support for it, but I digress.
Men's sheds are a safe space where men can share their woodworking, metal working, engineering etc skills and also talk about their experiences and feelings, and it's been extremely helpful for men with mental health issues, and for men in general.
These examples are not segregation; they are like groups of people gathering and supporting each other for a period of time. They still very much interact with people outside of those groups (bit harder for us autistics because autism affects social skills, but that's why the group is there so we can work on that).
Tldr; women's experiences are very much real (am woman can sadly confirm), they are not bullshit 99% of the time, racism bad and basically just treat everyone nicely? It's not hard and it's free.
@@emmad4308 Well said.
Amanda yelling “no bad” about Christian Grey made me envision her spraying him with water like a dog. Edit: if Christian Grey were a dog he would be an angry, horny, little chihuahua that bites people who come within two feet of their favorite human (sometimes they bite their favorite human if they pet or pick them up wrong.)
This made me snort
Somone need to do it
BárbaraRAB what we really need is someone to “fix” Christian (and no not the way Anna thinks she did. He needs to get neutered.)
Angry, horny, little Chihuahua 😂😂😂
Christian would be a lot more likable as Chihuahua.
One of the things I hate most about the 50 Shades of Grey series isn’t the mess up representation of BDSM or even the characters themselves. What I hate is that she plays it off as because Christian was abused he has a need to abuse others. Now, that does happen but the percentages are very low. As a survivor of abuse, I hate that most media either portrays survivors as broken and weak or broken and abusive. It is so wrong.
Monique Varney Aw, thanks.
I thought this would be the christian perspective aka christianity I WAS SO WRONG

Carlton enters the chat.
So the whole “Edward’s stalking is less bad” comment. I think that person was referring to KrimsonRogue’s review of 50 Shades. Krimson did not argue that Edward’s stalking wasn’t as bad as or less than Grey’s. Krimson stated that Edward was undoubtedly a creepy stalker, but “his” stalking came easy to him. What I got from that statement was that unfortunately yes people can and do stalk others like how Edward does Bella. But to stalk someone at the rate Edward was doing to Bella ( breaking directly in her bedroom 2 stories high, unnoticed, staying for hours, for several nights, for months) seems almost impossible for a human to do. Meyers celebrates Edward’s stalking, but because of the impracticality of Edward’s stalking and the fact that the story is in a fantasy world, his stalking can be easily overlooked (no excuse, just saying). EL James mimics the stalking in Grey’s character possibly hoping for the same pay off. Unfortunately, for James’s story, that plan backfired because the story is set in reality. With enough funds or skill, Grey’s form of stalking can and does happen handily. Not to mention Edward wants to love Bella. Grey blatantly wants to hurt Anastasia.
Agreed. I think it's also about the amount of "steps" it takes for each of them. Edward alone can just on a whim decide to very easily break into Bella's room, he's also doing it in secret, only he knows and he'd probably be too ashamed to admit it someone else what he's doing. Christian is very comfortable talking to the guy he pays to do it for him and also goes to more trouble than Edward by driving long distances and interrupting his work schedule to stalk Ana.
@@spokeforhours yes! That's always how I've viewed it. Like, of course they're both terrible and still stalking, but for Edward it's simple and almost effortless to just walk out of his house and break into Bella's. There's more... thought and resources and effort in how Grey does it which makes the whole thing feel weirder imo
@@mcd08 I've also thought that because Christian is paying someone else to do it that this whole other person knows literally everything about you and since this person is morally flexible enough to work for Christian who knows what he could potentially do with that information?
Ah thanks! I was wondering what she was referencing also Christian stalks her because he's controlling Edward does it to protect her no matter how misguided he is
I remember hearing somewhere that the reasoning given for Edward doing that was because he wanted to get accustomed to her blood scent so he doesn't wanna rip her to pieces or something-
Connsidering "Pump It" by The Black Eyed Peas to be a hard, violent song is like the white people think mayonnaise is spicy meme.
Seriously, when she read out the word “violent,” I thought he would pull up some Meshuggah or something, but this bitch went with BEP💀 Oh yes, how intimidating
I avidly listen to BEP and their music is absolutely not hard and violent. Like wtf go listen to some LINKIN PARK or FFDP if that’s your style.
Aripup :D Oh forget Linkin Park and even FFDP, I was expecting something like Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, Bathory, Silentium… or at the very _least_ Arch Enemy. Though to be honest, Eminem has an old song called Kim that’s basically a murder fantasy about his ex, and it would fit Christian very well.
Seriously. Any kind of metal would have been harder and better for running anyway.
@@nalinea18 my god when he said violent I was like "okay what does he listen to, cannibal corpse?" And dude busted out with the black eyed peas I nearly pissed myself

Just a quick PSA about Christian and therapy: Showing up to therapy is not the same and DOING therapy. Therapy shakes you up, because it's not just about what happened to you and how it made you who you are, but also "these are the unhealthy parts of you, how do you want to work on them?". It's understanding where people went wrong in the past and led to you today, but also knowing that you are in control of who you become and how you act. Have an automatic response to triggers like myself? Find a therapist who will teach you to slow down the moment or even stop yourself reacting when you feel the emotions - and then calmly explain that you've been triggered and need some space. Self soothe, and then come back. Theapry is about healing, not abolishing a person's responsibility over their own actions.
IT IS NO ONE'S JOB TO FIX YOU EXCEPT FOR YOURSELF.
Yep. To complete therapy most crucial is client's work. It's not surgery when I sleep and doc do all the work.
We should rename this book: "Grey: The mind of the inner twitching pwe pwe"
Ahahaha!
“If she agrees to even one of the points on [the sex contract], she’s the one making the concession”.
That is an excellent point
I listened to this audiobook. AWFUL. His thoughts were like a douchy frat bro. Even Anastasia deserves better.
Anastasia should've stayed away from Christian she wanted a relationship & he clearly doesn't. She wanted a vanilla guy who takes her out on dates & Christian clearly states he doesn't do those things.
@@catspawgardner3213

“Your brain creates this nice little protective barrier for you.” _That’s dissociation babe!_

Yeah, me too. lol
Omfg as soon as Amanda said "she's trying to find him another sub, and that's just-" an ad for Arbys immediately popped up and screamed "2 for 6!!" at me. I don't even know what the ad was for because the timing was so perfect it had me almost fall out of my chair laughing.
"his inner twitching pwepwe" is the funniest shit ive heard in my life
"I stop to change the music... I want something... violent. 'Pump It,' by the Black Eyed Peas, yeah."
Ah yes. We all know the _violent,_ thrashing banger that is "Pump It," played at beach parties everywhere circa 2009.
The difference in my mind between Twilight and 50 Shades is that one takes place in a universe where fictional creatures exist, at least leaving room for strange behavior to have a potential explanation considering we cannot actually understand how a vampire or werewolf would interact because it’s OBVIOUSLY a fictional scenario. 50 Shades takes place in the exact same universe we exist in, there are no special circumstances. Obviously both books have problems but I see one as obviously fictional with no relation to our world and one as a piece of fiction that I can not separate from the world we live in.
Same, I get the issues but I'm getting tired of seeing the constant comparison, it's not Meyer's fault that James decided to do this.
@@chichonete exactly thank you
It makes no sense to compare a book about vampires whom mind you stalk their prey and werewolves do this to. To book based in reality like fifty shades of grey. This is coming from an expert on vampires and werewolves.
I will never understand why the 50 Shades author wrote fanfiction about a cringey book series where the only cool thing about it are the vampires and werewolves, but she took out that part of the universe completely and just rewrote it with some bland milk-toast guy of a main character who has mommy issues no redeeming qualities besides his money?!? That's...so boring? At least make him a tentacle-monster or some crap, be innovative. His twitching pwee pwee controlling his life is just nothing special really 😒
@@adrianaheiler9794 Yes I know right
"completely naked except for jeans" is all that keeps repeating in my head...
All we need now is a gender-swapped retelling of this story, and the cycle would be complete, I can already think of names for the characters: Alexander "Alex" Steele for Anastasia "Ana" Steele and Christina Grey for Christian Grey, not the most original names but what do you expect from Fifty Shades?
Oh god yes
Not Alex, please D:
Omg
Originality isn't the point with gender swaps because the names have to be similar to the original names.
If the twilight author can do it, E. L. James can. Would she call it Fifty shades of white?? Idk
I've recently watched TV series Hannibal - you know, the one about about cannibalistic serial killer, and it still didn't disturb me as much as Christian posesivness and treatment of Ana
Hannibal is actually a well written, well thought out masterpiece with no pretence at moral superiority, though.
The thing that gets me about these stories and the way they're written is that they make Dominants seem like all we think about when we see a pretty face is what that person would look like in handcuffs and chains. In my entire life as a Dominant, and we're talking over three decades, I've probably had a thought close to that once, and it was simply the idea that a person I knew looked pretty when they cried. That was it. It's the stereotype that when a man meets a woman, all he's thinking about is how she'd look straddling him. If a Dominant, male or female, only thinks about Dominating every appealing person they meet, then they have a problem.
when i first dove into research of the scene, perhaps i was lucky bc it was post-50 shades era so it didnt take me too many of clicks through articles and blog posts to understand that actual, reliable, and responsible Doms are nothing like christian grey.
but like, honestly ... even without the easy access i had it shouldnt take more than two braincells to figure out that at the end of the day people that are into bdsm are just people. i doubt the average person thinks about sex 24/7 and how someone else would look in sexual situation. if someone thinks people do that, then theyre either hanging out with the wrong crowd or simply projecting.
but hey, maybe e.l james dont have more than one brain cell, let alone two. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@mophead_xu I think about sex 20/7 because I need to sleep a few hours a day. ;) (Sub here.)
Or you could just go to a therapist instead of glorifying your problems with healthy relationships.
You should write a version of this book with a correct Dom-Sub relationship, I'd read that
@@lenaeospeixinhos
That’s already been written, it’s called “The Boss” by romance author Jenny Trout, who also did a chapter by chapter analysis of this trash fire of a series on her blog and eviscerated it beautifully and hilariously. 😊
Why does this read like an American Psycho fanfic written by someone who doesn’t know its a parody?
"Still better than 365... SO HE'S A SAINT I GUESS"
*the literal most pain filled eyes I've seen*
"I'm not the monster you think I am "
These stories aren't even BDSM. They're just fanfiction. If this man was looking for a slave specifically, I might think that the way he goes about things are a degree above completely unacceptable, but that's all. He only gets away with the shit he's pulling because he's rich, and seeing as that part is true, that should terrify the shit out of people. If Christian Grey lived in a trailer park and drove a '67 Ford pickup, we'd be watching an episode of Criminally Listed. The sad thing is that to be a good Dominant doesn't require money. It doesn't require a playroom or any of that crap. It doesn't require a single toy. Some of the best Dominants I know are just blue collar humans, and really, I think that would be a more interesting story to tell. Grey's perversions become acceptable because his wealth makes him eccentric. And that taps into the psyche of the bored, middle-aged house spouse who feels unappreciated and wants to remove the burden of responsibility from their lives. That contract he made up should have benefited them both equally. And his relationship with Mrs. Robinson was so disrespectful to any would-be sub, it was disgusting. If he needed to keep her in his life, he should have been her submissive, and the two of them live their lives as sick fucks together, leaving any innocent bystanders out of it.
Honestly, I think he's up there with Patrick Bateman. I wonder what he thinks of Huey Lewis and the News...
I like your thoughts and deeply agreewith you. I also think he got away with his behaviour because she didn't know sh*t about BDSM. It's way to easy to fall into a would-be-Dominant if you don't know your way within the community and don't know the safety messurse that are taken. And they way she learned everything soley from him or the Internet was a major red flag. Imo she also needed to get to know other ppl within the community.
This. This right here. Being a good dom is about respecting your sub.
I agree with you just so much! This whole series is like a slap to anyone's face who knows what BDSM actually is! I got so angry at the writer for calling abusive behaviour as BDSM and then trying to justify it! Just disgusting.
@@muskanc6521 say it louder for the people in the back. You can't just abuse someone and call it BDSM. Abuse and BDSM are not the same thing.
Well, of course everyone wants him. If my guy doesn't put a GPS tracker on my car, break into my house to watch me sleep, and make me wear a collar with "his property " on it I have to question does he really love me? The amount he stalks me is proportional to the amount he "loves" me. 😱 Some of the crappiest crap I've ever read. (50 Shades not Grey, because I'm Not a masochist) I would wonder how these crimes against literature got published in the first place, but well how many seasons of Bachelor, Real Housewives and Kardashians have there been? We devour 💩 like it's 🎂 .
It's literal description of abusive relationship mindset. "love - control"
"it's the way I'm made"
Did... Did Christian just say that he's built different?
plot-twist: Christian was built from dextro-amino acids like Turians and Quarians in Mass Effect
I’m too sober for this
Someone has to tell Christian "Bro, this is cringe"
Christian: “You’re a sex slave?”
Anastasia: “ima person and my names anakin.”
There actually are people who use BDSM in a therapeutic way, HOWEVER, and I can't stress this enough, BDSM HAS TO BE CONSENSUAL, whether it's therapeutic or just for pleasure. If it's not, it's abuse, and abuse is never, under no circumstances, okay!
Also, not to forget, Ana isn't even into it! She's only willing to endure it because she's so infatuated with Christian and willing to let literally anything happen to her just so she can be with him.
In a therapeutic way? Just because people in need of therapy find an amateur way of somehow coping with their issues, it doesn't mean it's healthy or even therapeutic. Normally it's not constructive and rather worsens their problems, because they don't work on their real issues.
It's like using a cool pack on your head to feel better when you have fever because of a serious inflammation. It may make you feel better for a while, but it won't solve the problem.
@@miskatonic6210 ah yes, one of those who think all BDSM relationships mean that you're fucked up. I don't have time to debate you,but fetishes between ONLY consenting adults is not inherently messed up. The individuals might have issues, and BDSM is not therapy. But the theater of ritual can help many who have anxiety, like myself.
I don't really think it's used as therapy bit the rest of your comment is pretty accurate
@@miskatonic6210 yeah, idk what the therapy thing was about. I just like bdsm bc it's hot, not bc I'm fucked up lol
@@miskatonic6210 ok karen
In other news “Canadian TH-camr Died From Brain Aneurysm Due To Reading Illogical FanFiction”
I think the TH-camr you're talking about is Dominic Noble (but maybe not, there could be more people saying the same thing) but he said that Christian's stalking is creepier because that is something that is really happening in real life and is romanticized in the book. Dude reading minds of people around you and jumping into your window on second floor is little less plausible than someone hacking into a bank,that's why it's worse. Not for the story, but because some readers might believe that it's okay if their partner does it.
When I see new sponsor I’m like: “oh, good, at least she gets money and not only loosing her mind reading something like THIS”. Thank you so much for all of your work
Twilight: still a better romance than 50 Shades.
She's a person and her name is Anankin...oh, wait.
I nearly snorted my drink all over my desk when she said that.
Honestly, the enabling of him to continue abusing and stalking her is the most realistic part of the whole thing.
we should be paying your therapist.
That said... love the content :,D
Good thing this video is sponsored AM I RIGHT
@@AmandaTheJedi hahaha SO DAMN RIGHT! They're awesome and they choose wisely the channels they sponser.
Ah yes, the freight train. The most erotic form of train.
"Anna better run, better run, better run" this was amazing 😂😂😂
I am going to write a 50 Shades fanfiction as a Criminal Minds episode. That would make me feel better.
Omg I love this idea !!
Everybody gangster until Amanda breaks out the Mike's.
My little bdsm heart breaks a bit more with every thing I learn about this book
Same
You know, when I first read the title, I thought that it was a Christian, religious fanfiction of Fifty Shades, and me and my bro just cracked up.
same here lol
@Dog-Ears with Dylan im scared to ask how it went
This reminds me of the Christian Harry Potter fanfic lmao strange aeons here on YT has great videos about it lmao
Wouldn't that just be Twilight again?
@@jesuszamora6949 Twilight, but this time, without vampires! If that isnt a bestseller in the making, i dont know what is.
Worst character ever : Bella swan
Anastasia grey: hold my mimosa, I’m on this!
Laura: Hold my ice cream!
*hold my weak black tea
🎶 IIIIII'M NOT OOO-KAY... I'M NOT O-KAAAAAYYYY! 🎶
I had a playlist on Spotify for when I was reading the fanfiction this started as and this was the only song on it
@@AmandaTheJedi That sounds like a horrible way to listen to this song, but there's really no better song to fit this book. I had to watch this video twice to actually figure out what the heck was going on. 😵
"She's a person and her name is Anaki-
No
She's a person, not an object"😂😂
"My DJ. DomJeans"
Oh my God!
STAP IT, MAKE IT STAAAP
You listened to the audiobook? Girl, you are braver than all of us
"Bro!! That's CRINGE!!" is my new favorite commentary on Grey
I think someone might have misrepresented what the person said about "it's easier for Edward to stalk Bella and thus makes it better". What they said is "at least in Twilight Edward is a vampire which means he didn't have to go out of his way to stalk Bella, where as what Christian does is very intentional and possible so it makes it more creepy because it's more "realistic". The person didn't mean to condone Edward's stalking vs Christian's.
Noooo I REFUSE to belive the Pump it by BEP was really in there 😂😂
I SWEAR! I LAUGHED SO HARD. I had to stop the audiobook and go check the ebook to make sure.
E.L James and Stephanie Meyers: perpetuating misogynistic men since whenever their problematic books came out
Nope
@@Jeremysepicreads .....Yes
Starting off this video cracking open a cold one for the boy is a big mood
The actor that plays christian is in this Crime Drama called the Fall, where he proves, he can play someone infinitely more creepy than Christian, and this always acknowledging that Christian is very, very creepy. I didn't actually watch it, my mum was, I kept on seeing snipets when I entered the room, it looks .......kinda horrible.
Fantastic show, both Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson are amazing in it. Says a lot when he was more comfortable playing a serial killer 🤣
I CHOKED with the DJ's DOM JEANS
Honestly these books would be remarkably well written if the intent were to write a convincing narcissistic psychopath sadist preying on a young vulnerable girl instead of pretending it's supposed to be romantic.
we need 50ShoG altverse where guy is openly shown as as disgusting creep. Like that one character from one book who owns place and rent flats but in book it's mentioned that he wanks to sec cam footage.
If wouldnt surprisme if the author actually thought "why not both?". Like, write him exactly with that intent and still thinking that's romantic.
@@pedrovallefin8406 yeah, society is simply hilarious. Mental problems are taboo, but on the other hand some of them are romanticized. Look at: how people see Joker and Harley or simply some songs that are about stuff toxic more than Koga's Gym but people see them as cool
In gonna need a full cover of "better run"
okay so as someone who's both been in an abusive relationship and who is pretty involved in bdsm lifestyle; I can say for a fact that Christian's behavior is far more in line with an abusive stalker boyfriend than someone who's just into being a dom. It really REALLY bothers me when people conflate 50 shades with bdsm...
I needed a good 15 seconds to realize that he connected "Pump it" with violent by any means.... and then I erupted with laughter .... oh my lord lmaooooooooo
He insists on getting her a Blackberry, has an ego problem and is in a toxic relationship, oh my God is he Ryan from The Office?!?!?
To be honest, after experiencing the horror that is 365 days, I'm not even affected anymore. It's like every other day, an even worser movie comes out which desensitizes me even more.
Could we get the full version of that "Anna better run" version of pumped up kicks? 😂😂
Surely listening to Moby is on brand for a stalker, considering his creepy behaviour with Natalie Portman.
4:21. To quote my old friend Mysterious Mr. Enter, "What I'm doing is wrong, I know it's wrong, and yet I'm going to continue doing it anyway". Applicable for so many characters nowadays, acknowledging your wrongs and yet continuing to do them is not how to flesh out a character. Pointing out your flaws does not make them ok!
I already know a Fifty Shades of Gay is probably coming soon...
Sounds great, as long as it isn't played straight. Gay parody would be great, emphasis on parody.
I'd be surprised it doesn't exist already
@@alyssabrown-carleton6173 oh it exists
Let’s just slow clap it out for Kristen Stewart and Dakota Johnson for doing The Best They Could with what they were given 👏🙏
Concerning 4:51 : I was not the one who made that comment, but I am pretty sure the original one who made the comment the commentator mentioned was Dominic Noble in one of his Fifty Shades of Grey videos. I am also pretty sure he was not in favour of the stalking (Gods, no) but his original comment was something along the likes of that Edward's stalking was too him less creepy than Grey's, because Edward's could be explained away by his vampire powers, making it less real in a way. While Grey's stalking was a lot worse, because it could happen in real life.
Probably grossly misrepresenting the point he made, will edit comment when I find it.
Agreed. What Dom actually said was that Edward's total disrespect for privacy, and his controlling and stalking of Bella, could be explained - not excused - by the fact he's a vampire and has had no close contact with humans for one hundred years and therefore has no concept of acceptable behaviour. Dom's opinion was that this could have been an interesting character arc if the narrative ever acknowledged how wrong his behaviour was and Edward learned and changed his behaviour. But it didn't. Instead Edward's behaviour is held out as romantic and Dom had a big problem with that.
The one thing about Edward i didn't hate him for (not that i like him much) was that he tried to give no Pain to Bella, and was bashing himself if she was in pain even in intimacy. He actually considered what she might like, and even knew that other "normal" men would be better for her. Chritian creeps me out, and bdsm is ruined for me. And I'm just a teen... ugh
God bless Amanda, she really does go above and beyond. We appreciate you- holy shit
When I was fifteen, I came accross a copy of fifty shades of grey. My dad was with me and he saw the cover (The official cover where grey has ana pinned on the wall. If you get what i mean) he just looked at it for five minutes with an unreadable expression. In the end I got it. I seriously regret ever reading it. I thought it was good book but I was seriously wrong.
If I could erase this book from my mind then I would.
I wish someone had told me letting someone else read this shitfest was an optin. I am an obsessive completionist - and in case of twilight and 50 shades that was a nightmare. Not in the "oh my god, you're choosing wrong!" more like I was frightened for the mental state and fate of the characters. At Least in the moments when it wasn't boring me into a coma.
I also realize - it was Christian who spoke clearly and openly that the only difference between him and the irredeemable villain of the series was that he was richer and better looking. Writing that meant James was clearly aware of who each and every character was - and that the reasoning of "Miss Steel" were just stupid and Christian was a mentally broken manchild with no impulse control. and let's not forget the ridiculously short passage of time in these three books. If any woman I knew made the choices Anna did - I'd pretty much call the athourites as well as their parents and plead them to get them both some clinical help. Jesus christ there was no noticeable character in this series that was emotionally and mentally well balanced.
A horror show in the name of romance.
Here's when i can't say, "still a better love story than twilight"
The insanity
Amanda, please visit a phsychatrist
I'm a certified couch salesman, we can go sofa shopping. Then I can also ask her how she's feeling and if she's comfortable on the couch in the store. So nothing a Psychiatrist wouldn't do, except I wouldn't give her drugs for issues that shouldn't be medicated immediately.
This is probably her therapy
Psychiatrists specialise in prescribing medication for mental illnesses. I think you mean a psychologist, they work through the issues of the client. I think it’s important to know the difference.
The Black Baron hey, how about you don’t put down a profession that helps millions of people live happier, healthier lives. Cheers.
This brings some really good memories back. I remembered being forced to watch the twilight when it first came out. When they got to the part where edward is just looking down at the girl while she sleeps, I was like "Uh wtf?" and my girlfriend at the time was like, "Aww isn't that cute?". "Um no, not really. Kinda weird." "Well maybe you just aren't as romantic." I will never forget the look on her face when she woke up later that night and found me looking down at her. That look was far worth the ensuing argument and feeling like a weird stalker. Plus I think I ruined that franchise for her forever so brownie points. Moral of this story is, if any of you think this behavior is OK or cute or adorable or romantic. Try it. Let me know how fast everything burns down around you.
2:07 - to be honest, when I was little my dad called me 'little maggot"... which sounds a lot more cute in my native language. He meant it genuinely affectionately, too, just a sweet pet name
me dad calls me neanderthal and me mum occassionally refer to me as "having limited intelligence" lol.
sounds mean to other people prolly but it's all in affectionate good fun. i mean ive had me share of calling them names for laughs as well hahaha. thats just how our dynamic goes.
the way she said “bro, that’s cringe” at 8:10 was perfect
Thank you....and my condolences.
E.L James wasn't even trying to hide the fact she was ripping off Stephanie Meier was she?
Me, a christian, reading the title as “from a christian point of view: “whhha-ha-haaaaaat?
Rereading the title. “Oh.”
Holy Shades of Grey
He sounds like the makings of a serial killer. Makes me think of a profile from an episode of Criminal Minds.
I don't get why it's called "jumping one's bones" when it's refering to only one thing that could be thought of as a "bone" under the right circumstances and that' not even a bone.
