Oh, well, I guess I was too into Raina and Gabriel to really mind them being evil ::laugh:: Plus, I think a lot of her sadists come off more like serial killers than sexual "deviants". At least, to me they do. I'm also really ticked at how idiotic most of her subs and masochists are. Especially because house wives have rape fantasies, you're not automatically a submissive just because you once had a wet dream where some guy did you hard. I don't understand why none of the more dominant characters aren't sexual submissives, a lot of people who have lots of stress and power in their day-to-day lives like to give up control during sex.

But usually when someone gets the wrong impression about BDSM it's because they're uberconservatives or some such thing, since there is a lot of propaganda against it. The fact that ABVH is meant to appeal to people of a lot more liberal leaning, I think, makes it more harmful.
