I use to think psychopathy (threshold significance in any of the dark triad of Machiavellian, Neuroticism, Sociopathy) was the most horrifying trait, however many psychos aren't actually dangerous or even anti-social.
After watching Salo, 120 Days of Sodom about a decade ago, I discovered nope, libertines are the most horrifying thing imaginable. A libertine's motif is anti-piety in all regards.
It's A Clockwork Orange, Romper Stomper, American History X, Blue Velvet, or any teenage angst turned rebellion without the eventual negative reinforcement dissuasion into healing/salvation. In Salo, we see its effects in systemic grooming. Thinking about it now, all these online degen circles are just wannabe Salo.
Contemporarily there's a bunch of libertine coverage in film:
Salo, Visitor Q, Forest of Love, Midsummer; show libertines through grooming.
Nymphomaniac, Antichrist, The Witch, A Clockwork Orange, The House That Jack Built, Monster; show a more organic emergence of libertine behaviour.
There's dozens more films…
The reason such films as well as porn get R18+ is that people without individually pursuing philosophy/ethics (the humanities) will develop their morality based on the conditional responses of their peers, of which their parents should be the early appropriate peers conditioning them. Unfortunately immature parents allow satanic forces (secular definition also works) to penetrate and condition the children to not have a disgust/repulsion response to degeneracy and even try to promote an attraction/affinity response. Or they protect too much and fail to develop the ability of the child to protect themselves, to become an adult (independent capable agent).
This is where grooming comes in. If strangers, especially degenerates, are supplanting the value response system in children, the immediate parental community has failed them, with only vulnerability and no defence to wolves, the abuse becomes integrated and even valued. Or the entire parental community is never matured / never yet civilised, such as the
"Why do Muslims in Afghanistan fuck boys" thread.
Unfortunately, kids are getting exposed and exposing themselves to such content without proper guidance, they experience all the thrill of degeneracy, but without the meta recognition of the costs, harms, and alternatives to degeneracy. All those films besides the thrills include empathetic warning signs which depend upon significant cultural and familial life experience to recognise, which children and child adults lack.
These kids and degens sold their soul to the devil, unfortunately and sadly because they imagined their soul as worthless, because they never discovered it, to value it, to protect it.
