Could the Internet Actually Be Preventing Crime?

When one reads the obscene material that appears on some forums, you start to realize that the Internet just might be a safety net for potential serial criminals with fantasies and fetishes common to psychopaths.  Some seem to have a need to be insulted in the most degrading way, often with allusions to homesexuality  with innumerable sordid connotations. Some seem not only to invite it, but relish it. They seem to dish it out with full expectations of receiving replies in kind. 

The Golden State Killer started out with petty crimes,  accompanied by a fetish for feminine underwear and jewelry.  During his home invasions, he often took samples of both with him. When he got discovered by a victim of a burglary,, he began raping and killing.  He always maintained a home, a  respectable job and a modicum of civil respect, a necessary front to live a double life of crime, and at the same time deflect suspicion. One wonders whether society might have been spared many of his outrageous burglaries, sexual assaults and murders, if he had had an outlet like the Internet to live out his fantasies vicariously, interacting with people of similar thoughts and fantasies. 

It goes without saying that it takes a sick person to sit behind a keyboard almost 24/7 and gutter converse almost entirely about the most degrading homesexual fantasies, whether uttering them,. or receiving them.  Obscene innuendo is often probably just disguised as "insults," for it appears there are often two people indulging feverishly and simultaneously.  One shudders to think what sort of outlets they would use to satisfy their fantasies, if it were not the Internet. .
