Breaking 50 Shades
The Community Post
We’re creating this post to continue the discussion started today (April 8, 2015) on our “Breaking 50 Shades” HOA where we explored the ways in which this phenomenon used “traditional” values and ideals of love to go viral, as well as the role controversy played in its propagation and an in depth look at the triggers and factors at play in the 50 shades phenomenon.
