While the 50 Shades of Grey books and movie are a vanilla's persons perspective about BDSM (
E.L. James Interview on 20/20); with its extremely poor representation of a Dom/sub relationship and over all BDSM scenes. There is one good outcome to the books and movie.
It brings BDSM into the popular culture. I knew about being a submissive person all of my life because I enjoyed being told what to do. I just had no idea there where other people that felt and thought the same way as me. However; I found out about the whole BDSM sub-culture not through 50 Shades of Grey, but from an anime convention that happened to have a panel about BDSM. (I did read the books though, to see what they are about and... well to keep it short; I gave the books to my mom and she loved them)

Those that have been this lifestyle for a while, should embrace the new wave of 50 Shaders. Be grateful that they are willing and eager to learn more about this lifestyle. Not all of the Shaders think that the books and movie are the holy grail to BDSM. The books and movie just peaked their interest and (hopefully) you will be delighted to share and give advice on what you love to do. Hell; maybe even one (or more) of the Shaders could end up being a new play partner. Whats so wrong with that?
