Yeah, but people found Twilight romantic too so that doesn't really surprise me. I guess this having originated as Twilight fanfiction should have made it obvious that the depictions of romance and sex in this series would be at least equally bad, but while I knew the books portrayed romance, sex, and particularly BDSM in an unpleasant light, I still somehow didn't expect them to be this bad. It's like the author has never even heard of "safe, sane and consensual".

Though apparently they've completely watered down the feature film, which is problematic for its own reasons.
