These sickos could just wank off to the AI-gen stuff, but I suspect that the real thrill is in the abuse.

Time to look at memes before I get more upset.

Long ago on Reddit I read a comment about inmates beating up on child sex offenders partly because it's a sick thing to do and partly because they don't want them to get the slightest foothold of influence over another inmate. They thrive on exerting power over weaker individuals and manipulating them.
