Как раз в тему «любви» женщин к «плохим парням» статья попалась:

http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/reports/news/a38300/maxim-korea-woman-tied-trunk/

Вот так выглядит обложка сентябрьского номера журнала 'Maxim'. В ответ на возмущение общественности редакторы объяснили, что цель данной композиции - стилизованно изобразить преступление, а не подчеркнуть красоту сексуального нападения ('... to express crime in a stylized way, not beautify sexual assault...') 

Под заголовком "Настоящий плохой парень" (The Real Bad Guy) перечислены отрицательные персонажи, сыгранные актером Kim Byung Ok (мужчина на фото), и написано следующее: "Девушкам ведь нравятся персонажи-плохие парни? Вот такой он, настоящий плохой парень. До смерти его хочется, не так ли? ('So girls like the ‘bad guy’ characters? This is what a real bad guy is like. It’s to die for, isn’t it?/Dying for him, right?"')

4 сентября 2015 южно-корейский Maxim официально извинился и пообещал изъять номер из продажи, а средства от уже проданных журналов передать в фонд групп по защите прав женщин.

Maxim Korea features a man posing next to a woman tied up in a car boot

In perhaps the worst cover idea of all time, Korean Maxim have decided to feature a man posing next to a car and smoking a cigarette. Oh, wait, sorry, we've missed out one small detail - there is what appears to be a naked woman, bound by duct tape, trapped in the back of the car, with her lifeless legs lolling out of the boot.

The man in question is Korean actor Kim Byung-Ok, who is best known for playing violent villains in a series of thrillers. The cover line reads "The Real Bad Guy", with the words underneath reportedly translating as: "So girls like 'bad guys'? This is what a bad guy looks like. Dying for him, right?"

Other pictures featured inside the magazine, reportedly involve a victim's eyes looking up at her captor from the trunk of a car and a corpse lying abandoned in a black plastic bag.

There are so many things wrong with this, it's hard to know where to begin. But let's start with the fact it is glamourising violence against women. Or with the way it is dangerously blurring the idea of a 'bad guy' who maybe has a bit of stubble and doesn't text back when we want them to, with a man who has presumably kidnapped and murdered a woman and shoved her in the boot of his car. The cover line even seems to have victim-blaming undertones, seeming to suggest that if a woman falls for the former, she can expect the latter - if you think you like a 'bad guy', this is what you could be in for.

This is especially shocking considering how high domestic violence rates are in Korea. A 2010 National Survey of Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence, found that 53.8% of respondents who had been married had experienced spousal abuse in the past year, and 16.7% had suffered physical abuse.

When Maxim posted a preview of the cover to their Facebook page, it was quickly flooded with criticism, with an online petition launched soon after calling for the issue to be pulled from sale. It now has over 9k signatures.

Korea has increasing violence crime rate and sex crime rate. Still, Maxim Korea is denying the pain of crime victims, their families, and women who hold everyday fear, putting more weight behind commercial gains and freedom of speech. We strongly demand Maxim Korea to stop selling its September issue and recall what has already been sold. We also plead the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Korea Publication Ethics Commission to make a public announcement regarding the issue and come up with measures to stop a next potential case similar to this.

The petition also points out that Korea is 117th out of 142 countries on the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index 2014 and that images like this contribute to the very worst parts of that.

The editorial department at Maxim Korea have reportedly defended the photos, saying: "We did depict the crime of murder and body abandonment in a film noir way, but there's no hint of a sexual offence in the picture, and no fantasising of sex crimes either." But as the petition writers argue: "It is just natural that sexual crimes are implied when a sex-related medium deals with a male criminal and a victimised woman."

Maxim Korea then added to womenyoushouldknow.net in a statement:

"The September cover of Maxim Homme aimed to show Byoung-ok Kim (who is one of best actor's who plays cruel villains) directing a scene of film crime with him. As you can see, in the context of the cover, we show a heinous crime such as murder and abandonment of a dead body, but the image does not depict sex crimes. Unlike some people's concerns, we never intended to beautify sex crimes as sex fantasy. Films direct scenes for delivering a story and mood. We hope you can also see the cover as expressing a scene of crime to show the contexts of this issue."
