Oh, well, I guess I was too into Raina and Gabriel to really mind them being evil ::laugh::
Gabriel ROCKED. 'Nuff said. ;)
Plus, I think a lot of her sadists come off more like serial killers than sexual "deviants". At least, to me they do.
I know. It's like she thinks that it's because they're sexual sadists that they're also rapists and killers. I wish she'd differentiate the two categories, yanno?
I'm also really ticked at how idiotic most of her subs and masochists are.
No kidding. :P People like Nathaniel need to be in serious therapy, not tied to a stage and called Bad Kitty. Those sort of people do NOT make good subs, because they are not mentally healthy. And nobody in their right mind would treat Nathaniel the way Anita and co. do. Grrrrrrr.
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.
YOU WIN THE INTERNET. No, really. XD
Yeah, thank you for that, it made my day a bit brighter, knowing that not everyone has gotten suckered into LKH's ideas of what D&S are.
The fact that ABVH is meant to appeal to people of a lot more liberal leaning, I think, makes it more harmful.
Ja. All she's doing is perpetuating the inaccurate stereotypes, which only re-circulates the notion that anyone into BDSM is sick in the head, abused, cruel, or perverted. Which...uhhhh...not so much.
The fact that LKH claims to engage in D&S is...really fucking scary, since she's so malrepresented it in her AB:VH series.
