I attended a sentencing hearing for the owner of Hurt2theCore, a dark website that hosted Daisy's Destruction. The judge had to watch the video, but he did not have the sound on. It took him two days to finally get around to watching it and when he returned to the courtroom afterwards he was white.
I wrote about the dark web hurtcore scene in my book The Darkest Web
Ah sheeeit, this is where I really want to say "Buy my book" because it genuinely answers this question.
TL;DR is he was a sad, friendless person with no paedophilic tendencies, became both the most hated person on the dark web, but also a mega-hero to a small, perverse group who worshipped him more and more, the more extremely dark material he could provide.

Ooh, thank you@ The Darkest Web is available with free worldwide shipping from Book Depository.
It's also available direct from the publisher, Allen & Unwin.
At the moment, Kindle is only available if you have an Australian Amazon account, though I hope that will change soon
