Jeffrey Dahmer obviously also had the intention and desire to cause harm, due to the probability that his heart was full of malice, discontent and hate. People like Jeffrey become what they become because of what they already are and how they grow on that, not because their form of fantasies form them. It's all about what's in one's heart and how it's dealt with.

The same kind of principles apply to knowledge, as that is what is brought by exercise. People who watch CSI don't become criminals because they know more on how to avoid being caught, or because they are shown the ideas and methods of murder of these fictional criminals. It's all about how you use that knowledge, and that will be determined by what your heart and mind focus on. In the case of those such as Jeffrey, this is hate.

Martial artists don't turn bad because they know how to handle a fight. They don't go mugging raping and killing people because they know how to do it. They don't do those things because they practice what are potentially harmful and dangerous techniques on mannequins (which are meant to represent real people). There can be bad people who have an understanding and a liking to practice martial arts, but the understanding and liking to practice aren't the reasons they are bad.

IMO it would take an unexperienced and quite judgmental person to believe knowledge and practices of potentially harmful things dictate the behavior and course of life of any individual.
