Are the ostracized and isolated people more perverted once they get their revenge?

In the film, the people who claim to be the "Four Horsemen" in the Bible are actually marginal characters ignored by mainstream society. A child who lacks the love of his father; as a gay boy, he is not understood and supported by his relatives; an Asian girl in an orphanage who was adopted by a couple who called themselves "infertile" (in fact, they raised several children later), and then was sexually assaulted (Zhang Ziyi); these people are actually poor and sensitive outcasts and isolated people.

In the movie, the killing methods of these people are really cruel, which can be described as "horrible". They hung the victims in mid-air with fish hooks, then plucked their teeth with sharp instruments, and finally pierced the victim's lungs so hard that they choked to death. Once these people go out of their way, they really become "perverts".

Should we usually care more about the marginal people around us? This reminds me of being gay. Could it be that there are only two set situations in this society: "normal" and "abnormal"? Can't we give people more freedom of choice? For example, there is a third way to go. People who have been suppressed for a long time will eventually explode one day. Therefore, I hope that the society can give all people a tolerant living environment, so that everyone can not resist the pressure for too long, and can relieve the pressure they bear from time to time. In this way, there will be no sudden shock events that suddenly come to the world on a certain day.
