If by symptomatic you mean "one of the causes" then, yeah.
Social reinforcement of opinions of the masses, especially in the media, tends to hammer the point home. Keep telling women that they should marry rich instead of take care of themselves, and guess what happens? I'll give you 20 internet bucks if you guess it right. SPECIFICALLY internet-bucks. Theoretical internet dollars.
Also, am I the only one who, upon hearing the name "Mr. Grey," immediately thinks of Dreamcatcher instead?
Probably.
Also "Ms. STEELE." Mr. Grey. Steel. Grey. Steel is gray. DUHUHUHUHUH HOW FUCKING ORIGINAL AND CLEVER fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Anyway, at any rate, I've RPed smuttier, raunchier, and sexier literature over Trillian than what was in the books, the movie need not bother applying.
The success of this movie is pretty much what I thought about the success of Grown-Ups 2 over Pacific Rim at the box office domestically.
Man, there's another turd that needs to be removed from pop culture. Adam Sandler. I used to think he was funny.
Then I turned 14.
