Never heard that exact term but yes there are people who are sexually aroused by gruesome content. Even more weird are people who want to have sex with dead bodies. A 14 yr old boy in my daughters class was looking up info about this - I never heard of people like this until my late 30's. The comments following the video, were disappointed there wasn't enough blood from the ice pic wounds and disappointed they didn't see the mortal wound causing death. Where the empathy - this is what worries me and if this was a member of their family, would they be this casual?

Magnotta clearly was obsessed with being famous and very impressed with his good looks. He also brags about being racist and is a member of a common racist site. He pretty well violated many moral rules....guess you can term it that way. He even let his dog partake in the act. Yay for Canada in having one of the most gruesome killers known and now he's world famous....he got his fame.
