i can and will judge anyone who pays to see 50 shades of grey and is excited about it
Why? People got excited over Sharknado too. Bad movies can be fun.
As for people who are excited in a non-trainwreck-y way, I get the impression that most of them are people who never learned to access some of the more X-rated wonders of the Internet, either because they didn’t have a chance to get their how-do-computer phase over with while they were still in diapers, or because they lived and continue to live in subcultures where porn was prohibitively socially unacceptable, or both. (And really, if getting caught with porn (even by my friends) would make me a pariah, I probably wouldn’t take the risk either. Especially if I believed them when they said it was immoral, and I would have little reason not to.) They have consequently been porn-starved their entire lives, and are clinging in desperation to anything they can get. Such people may deserve our pity, and our aid if we can find ways of giving it to them, but not our mockery.
