For me, the sexual pathology stuff falls under a larger umbrella of denial and structuring your worldview in a way that frames you as a ‘good guy.’
I think it’s really as simple as, people will do whatever they want to do and then justify it with denial and politics, at least in America. Maybe that’s taking a plane all over the world even though they believe in global warming. Maybe it’s telling people to vote as primary praxis even though they run a socialist podcast. Maybe it’s enjoying being rude to people with lives harder than you, and then justifying it by painting them with a moral negative (gay, trans, etc etc).
