azura09–who served as as this blog’s lone guest curator (thus far)–has an important article up over at Autostraddle.
In it she details her experience working for an Austin based publisher–specifically: how the non-consent/heteronormativity/misogyny underlying 50 Shades of Grey have become a template for the way kink is packaged and presented in erotica.
Her account is horrifying; but also essential for the light it shines on the current mainstreaming of deeply problematic/irresponsible/unrealistic depictions of BDSM/kink.
