I for one have a pretty hefty outpouring of rage for her depictions of BDSM. Seriously. I've had friends who know I'm into some of it read her books them come to me all worried and ask if I've been raped. Uhhhh...nnnoooooo...it ent like her books, folks! I wasn't sexually abused as a child...and none of the other subs I know were, either. We aren't submissive because we're scaredy cats or weak-willed people, either! Plus...she actually DOES borderline depict it as evil...a lot of her "bad guys" are sexual sadists wrapped in leather who get off by kicking folks and forcing them to do shit that, guess what, AIN'T LEGAL. :P
I can't recall ONE. SINGLE. DOMINANT who was a sadist who wasn't...yanno...an OMG EVIL PRICK who didn't know the meaning of the word "consent." Seriously!
I think the real reason folks who are into it don't go bashing her door down in a dog-collar'd lynch mob is because most of us (least the ones I know anyways) are actually pretty tolerant of idiots getting the wrong impression.
