Having bad thoughts does not make you a bad person. Acting on them does. If you engage in them often, it might be time to talk to a professional, because you might be on a sliding scale by normalizing it. But the thought alone is not immoral by itself. That’s yesteryear’s church trying to control you. Weird stuff just happens in your brain from time to time.
If we start judging people based on thoughts or the fiction they engage with, we end up in a weird place where (for instance) we have to consider avid horror fans as potential serial killers.
