{{quote|''Mona's Mum was crying and her face was all red, but she wasn't thinking about anything much. Her dad had the same creepy crawly things in his mind that he ALWAYS has. Money, and tied-up women, and all the different kinds of drugs he sells.

In most media, [[Good People Have Good Sex]]. Thus, one of the easiest (and quickest) ways to show a character is evil is to have them engaging in a lifestyle that can easily be made to look deviant. In this case, have the character practice [[Useful Notes/BDSM|BDSM]] or similar. Sometimes, but far from always, [[Rule of Creepy|portrayed]] as [[Unsexy Sadist|creepy and unsexy]] as well as deviant.
 
More and more often, modern shows and movies allow a character (often a [[Brains and Bondage|smart one]]) to [[Casual Kink|be into BDSM]] and still be a [[Safe, Sane, and Consensual|decent character]]. However, the old prejudices are still common, and [[Double Standard|Double Standards]] apply: If it's a woman who is into the practice, she might be portrayed in a somewhat respectful (if didactic) fashion. If it's a man, however, he's usually ridiculed (if he's the one being tied up) or else is portrayed as a dangerous lunatic one step away from becoming a serial killer/rapist.
Line 85:
* In the fifth season of ''[[Dexter]]'' one of the serial rapists/murderers he and Lumen are hunting is shown having (consensual) sex with a tied up woman. Though in fairness, he seemed more interested in just plowing her. The woman actually had to remind him to finish tying her down in mid-coitus.
* ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' has Crowley, a [[Depraved Homosexual]] sexually sadistic demon.
* [[Darkseid]], while possessing the body of [[Smallville/Apokiliptians/Characters/Apokiliptians|Gordon Godfrey]], feeds on the dark energy in the souls of dominatrix club goers in ''[[Smallville]]''.
