  Some of it depicts absolutely 100% fucked-up, horrific things. So do plenty of action flicks and horror movies. So does lots of rap music and plenty of games, if you play them that way. I don't believe people who love action movies and shoot-em-up games are destined to be mass shooters; I don't believe people who listen to rap music about abusing drugs are destined to become drug addicts; I don't believe people who love horror movies are destined to capture and torture humans in their basements; I don't believe people who enjoy depictions of horrific sexual acts are destined to become sexual abusers. It's certainly an interesting psychology topic about how humans can seem to enjoy depictions of acts they'd never want to perform, experience, or even see in real life. For instance, I have heard that some people who have been victims of sexual assault may enjoy depictions of sexual assault in porn, possibly to help them imagine having more control over a situation that made them feel helpless, or to revisit, in a safe way, an extremely unsafe-feeling part of their psyche. Humans are just too complicated to make blanket assertions like "horror movies produce torturers".
