There are several references to BDSM (i.e., bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism) in culture and media. References are found in books, films, television, music, magazines and online media such as podcasts. ==Newspapers and magazines== Recent events and figures related to BDSM have been repeatedly spotlighted in the media. * In 2002, the ''Washington Post'' ran an article revealing that Jack McGeorge, a munitions analyst for the UNMOVIC, was also a leader in the Washington, DC BDSM community. Following this, several commentators compared his BDSM activities repeatedly with the torture techniques used by Saddam Hussein. Others compared today's discrimination of BDSM practitioners with the situation of homosexuals in the past. * Following the discovery of Armin Meiwes (also known as the "Rotenburg Cannibal" or "Metzgermeister" (''The Master Butcher''), European yellow press described his case, giving hints about "sado-maso-games" between the delinquent and his victim. * In Germany ''EMMA'', a well-known feminist magazine, published by Alice Schwarzer, continued its ''PorNO'' campaign against ''hatred towards women'' and ''violent pornography'' aiming to ban pornography in Germany. In it, Schwarzer states, among other things, that sadomasochistic practices are generally to be equated with violence against women. Her judgment on female sadomasochism ("Female masochism is collaboration!") has often been criticized for implying a state of war between genders.〔"Weiblicher Masochismus ist Kollaboration!" from EMMA Heft 2, 1991〕 *''EMMA'' magazine tried to bash Helmut Newton, accusing him of "pornografization of fashion photography", and criticized his "therein unrestrainedly realized sadomasochistic obsessions".〔An extensive analysis of the magazine and Schwarzer campaigns is available at (Papiertiger#Emma ) (German)〕 * Recently, BDSM support groups and publications repeatedly criticized a biased media coverage of BDSM.〔Manuela Münchow, Bundesvereinigung Sadomasochismus: ''Stellungnahme zum Grünbuch "Gleichstellung sowie Bekämpfung von Diskriminierungen in einer erweiterten Europäischen Union" der Kommission der Europäischen Gemeinschaften (Brüssel, den 28.05.2004 KOM(2004) 379)", 31.08.2004 (German), and the detailed chronology ''Der Papiertiger: Presse'' ("media coverage") in the Encyclopedia of Sadomasochism (Datenschlag.de )(German/English)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BDSM in culture and media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
