I cannot fathom doing that to another human being let alone teenagers. Not really asking for a how to guide but more like do people like that have a disease or something?

Money or not, some people are born evil and some are made evil by circumstance. Its just the way the world and humans seem to work. Guys like Dennis Rader (BTK killer) grew up normal and healthy. Some people are just fucking monsters. I don't think his wealth had anything to do with why he did horrible shit, it just allowed him to scale up his horrible shit to an insane degree.

And you're a piece of shit who champions child mutiliation of your own free will. A born monster just like him.

I mean, you can think whatever you want of me bud. I dont think little girls having their vaginas sown shut at 13 is the same level of cruelty as a baby being circumcised. They are both bad, one is worse (the former, obviously and objectively). Saying I'm evil as the BTK killer because I hold that opinion shows a whole lot more about you and your inability to think critically than me lmao.
