Fucking creeps. They say men only think about sex, who bought 50 Shades?
50 shades is a fraction of the amount of women who every day are writing and reading fanfiction, which is often nothing but guys fucking in the most degenerate ways you can think. No franchise is safe, even real life.
50 Shades is the greatest indictment of what the average woman actually is.
People can argue "oh, but those women you post about don't represent them all" against my usual comments, but this can't be deflected.
50 Shades is the best selling book of all time. What is in it represents what they all desire, which is to be a gold digging leech.
50 shades is just the first time it went super mainstream. "Romance" books have been around for generations, as has fanfiction, and nearly everytime its the same type of man and sex.
But I don't see it as their desire to be a gold digging leech. I see it as them wanting to be completely without responsibility or power under a dark man who abuses them "with love". Its mass appeal just says how un-diverse they are in their sexual desires, because women are average as biology proved long ago.
Which becomes a problem when they cannot separate their horny from reality, so they seek those men out (who rarely are as benevolent as they are in fiction) and then cannot accept responsibility for that mistake (because they are women) so they take it out on everyone else, including their newborn babies from that failed man.
They claim that when a woman is being a creep she's just being "cautious".
They can claim what they want, they're still fucking creeps.
There's no expectation of privacy on public transport. I don't really find someone taking a picture and posting it problematic at all. I am aware, yes, that women would get butthurt if you did it to them. I disagree.
The tax you pay for being poor or living in a city where public transit is your only viable option is harassment from crazy people and living in a culture where strangers creepshot and gangstalk you over how you instinctively rest your legs.
The fact that being on public transport is a miserable experience is unfair and a topic that should be addressed. Having your picture taken? You don't have to be poor or on transport for that.
I don't find it problematic either, but I 100% fucking guarantee that there'd be uproar if these were pictures of women instead. Someone could even end up arrested over it.
There's an expectation of privacy when you're doing nothing interesting.
If you're doing something weird, interesting or embarrassing, expect to be photographed.
But if you're just sitting there, you shouldn't have to worry about that. It proves that they really are creeps as well as sadistic hypocrites.
