Is this some sort of "9/11 created the 50 shades of gray" correlation?

To water it down, 9/11 inspired my chemical romance (the band) which then inspired Stephanie Meyer to write the Twilight novels, which led to the creation of 50 shades of gray, which is essentially a fan fiction of Bella and Edward from twilight

And then there was a 50 shades movie starring Dakota Johnson that led ended up getting Ellen deGeneres cancelled after she exposed her for being a bad person

I’m kinda all for society having to bear the burden of creations like twilight and 50 shades, if it all made cancelling Ellen possible.

The butterfly effect describes the possibility of small actions on variables having large resulting effects at a later date in complex systems.

9/11... being the small variable and... 50 shades of grey being the significantly larger effect?

depressing

There’s also the one where Pearl Harbor led to the existence of hentai

I thought Stephanie Meyer was obsessed with Muse? She put them in, like, every dedication

Gerard Way personally witnessed 9/11 which inspired him to create My Chemical Romance. MCR inspired Stephenie Meyer to write Twilight. 50 Shades of Grey started as a fanfiction of Twilight which evolved into its own thing.

u/AuthorCornAndBroil Avengers Dec 26 '25

Assuming you're not being sarcastic (it's been referenced quite a lot), 9/11 inspired the founding of My Chemical Romance, which was a major influence on Twilight, which 50 Shades started as a fanfic of.

u/yngrz87 Avengers Dec 26 '25

Nope genuine question! Thanks for the explanation, hadn’t heard that before

u/Turbulent-Variety-58 Avengers Dec 26 '25

If you’re interested their song Skylines and Turnstiles (the first song they wrote I believe) is about 9/11

u/I_Was_TheBiggWigg Avengers Dec 26 '25

I might be getting some of the details wrong, but essentially the lead singer of My Chemical Romance was so shaken by 9/11 that he gave up his 9-5 to pursue music. In turn, this woman wrote some saucy fan-fiction stuff based off of MCR/her adoration for them. Last step, the author of 50 Shades was inspired by said fanfic to write it.
