The real problem with this story is not the deviancy of these sickos - there will always be some deviants in society. The real problem here is the author’s comment (re mulling of a possible conversion), which reflects how our society not only fails to abhor and reject such deviancy, but in fact elevates it to being on some kind of plain where it is not only enjoys the status of a moral equivalency, but also one of being enviable.

We need the deviants stuffed back into their closets, mostly ignored and abhored by the rest of society.
That would be much more healthy for civilization. I don’t think it can survive celebrating deviancy as moral very long.
