Indeed. The sad thing is, some fans eat this type of glamorization up. There are a lot of bad fan fictions out there where they romanticize and glamorize stalking, kidnapping, raping, Stockholm Syndrome, etc. With the rise of popularity of fictional villainous characters (particularly comic book villains), you also see a spike in the number of bad fan fictions where girls swoon over being stalked, kidnapped, tortured, etc. by someone like Loki, the Joker, Bane, etc. I'd like to think that these are kids who are just too young and naive to know better but Fifty Shades who's core fanbase are older women disprove that. Fifty Shades is all about a lead male who was stalking and controlling the female and yet it was marketed as 'sexy' and it got the author millions of dollars and a movie deal so I can see why Hollywood supports it. It's all about $$$ after all.
