Yeah I completely despise those movies and everything they stand for. We need a new movie to come out that shows people how D/s should properly be handled and formed.

You’re right justadude, The movies perpetuate a false stereotype for D/s relationships, and what not to do to have a healthy dynamic.
I’m glad that since the movies came out D/s is a little more normalized and more okay to talk about, but everything it stands for and tries to teach people is a serious problem.

I agree with you Spankmon.

In the first movie he stalks her and it just gets worse and worse from there.

That’s insane that they fired her because she used to be a pro dom! So infuriating!
