The\u00a0Fifty Shades of Grey<\/i><\/a>\u00a0movie has been surrounded by a lot of buzz, good buzz, bad buzz and a little bit of both. As expected, that\u2019s exactly what you get when you produce a film based on a highly sexual erotic novel with BDSM tendencies, that just so happens to have gotten its start as\u00a0Twilight<\/em>\u00a0fan fiction. What was completely unexpected, however, is the latest protest one particular organization is making over the film, as it as nothing to do with its sexual atmosphere in the story.\"The<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, a new online campaign called was launched last week and is seeking not only a boycott of \u201cFifty Shades of Grey\u201c<\/em>\u00a0but also donations to support battered women. While the campaign and its supporters don\u2019t necessarily seem to be taking a stance against the explicit BDSM content, they do claim that the film glamorizes violence against women. This seems much more like an opportunity stunt than a legitimate stance against the movie, but if it means getting donations for this noble cause, well, we advise you to do both, watch the movie and help the cause. Has you might have already noticed, everything you see on the book adaptation is consensual and, if anything, only diminishes the main male presence who spends a millionaire sum of money to get what he wants and almost turns the female submissive role on its head when she\u2019s the one empowered by his full attention.\"dakota-johnson-jamie-dornan-set-fifty-shades-grey\"<\/p>\n

As of now, neither E.L. James, author of the original book series, Universal Studios or the main stars have responded to the controversy. But according to the organizers of the campaign, speaking with\u00a0The Washington Times<\/a>, the response has so far been miraculous. They say that they\u2019ve received confirmation a number of contributions made to domestic violence organizations around the country, and in just six days time they\u2019ve accrued 1,200 followers on social media.<\/p>\n
