I grew up in a school described as "A community of young Christian adults" that was, at best, a living sudy of environmental contributions to the development of sociopathic traits.
And yes, some of them did enjoy it.
So I take a view that protecting yourself, and as many others as you can, takes precedence over abstract moral theories that tend towards appalling outcomes when applied in practice.
In short: be a forgiving person, but not to the extent that you and others are exposed to danger and damagng toxicity.
