Why does a female masturbating in a movie inevitably turn evil?
You see this coming (excuse the pun) a mile away. Don't they believe we ordinary, non-evil chicks indulge?

Because God says masturbation is evil, and women are the root of all evil? Though, if your question was rhetorical, I wouldn't mind knowing the answer as well.
shareum i don't think normal people masturbate to someone being killed
i don't think this was a commentary on female masturbation in any way and i don't know why people need to relate everything to their sad little gender/race/sexuality wars.

You make some really good points. You examined the wording of the o.p. with an attorney's eye for detail, though maybe RabbitWithFangs meant it less literally. I agree with what you say. Of course, with words like "masturbating" and "evil" you can see how we got all worked up and followed many different directions, some of them quite interesting - it was a lot of fun, too. But, yeah, I think the masturbation just revealed to the audience India's natural tendency - what it was that turned her on - it wasn't showing it as turning her evil, but as a reaction to the evil inside - maybe the o.p. was just referencing the link between the two. India probably wasn't really in touch with it herself until her amorous encounter with Whip, but she did have some earlier inklings.
shareJiminy Cricket! I don't think anyone associated with the making of this film was saying that there's a 'cause and effect' thing going on here. Like a girl who entertains herself must be evil.
Spoilers ahead:
The scene was put in purely as character development - it was not in the least gratuitous, it was there only to tell us who she was, or who she was turning into: a disturbed girl who gets off on watching people snuff it.
As for other films portraying female masturbation in a negative light? I could give a rat's @ss what some movie has to say on the issue. They don't dictate to me what I do or how I feel about my sexuality. My Catholic upbringing got there way before Hollywood!
Everything I've ever told you has been a lie. Including that - George Spiggott
What, do you mean that good girls masturbate? My GOD!
I fart in your general direction.
My god. The feminist was so preoccupied with inequality that she missed the point of the scene.
Now I see why some people find their mindset annoying.
