3. Major Theoretical Lenses for Analysis
- Foucault’s History of Sexuality: Argues that labeling (discourse) produces sexuality rather than just describing it. Media labels kink to control and manage it as a category.
- BDSM Subculture Studies (Weiss, Newmahr): Subcultures have detailed internal labels (e.g., "rope bunny," "brat," "little") which popular media often simplifies or distorts.
- Queer Theory (Butler, Warner): Kink labeling can challenge heteronormative scripts OR reinforce them by exoticizing non-normative desire.
- Moral Panic Theory (Cohen): Media labeling of kink (e.g., during 1980s “Satanic Panic” or anti-BDSM campaigns) can pathologize communities.
