Really? How odd that she's the most famous superheroine in the world then, and most of the public knows nothing about the bondage. I would have thought that qualified as "normal respected".

If you mean with world the small subculture of fans of US-superherocomics: Then are you right.
If you mean the real world: Then no. Just no.
I mean just ask some random people here in europe if they know Superman or Batman. ´Good chance they say yes.
Ask them about Wonder Woman: Good chance that they never heard about her. And if they heard, they would think, that she is a superhero-parody.

Odd real world you're living in. Regular people I met in Italy knew Wondy. And nearly everyone knows who Wonder Woman is in America.

You're so wrong I don't know if it's funny or painful.

See, you can tell those aren't comic fans, because the costumes are wrong. (And because Kim Kardashian would never wear anything that was anything remotely like obscure to a publicity event.) Yet they're pretty recognizably Wonder Woman. And people are wearing these in public, no less.

Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if Marston-era Wondy had a devoted fan-following in Japan - a good deal of his stories reach levels of absurdity that remind me of Anime quite a bit.
