Have you ever been on twitter? It will take you a couple of minutes to find people who think that's unnatural, sinful, should be forbidden, they're mentally ill, they're sexual predators by default. I know there are some more moderate ideas, but people completely against do exist.

You're putting in the same bag many complaints, some of which irrational and unproven (sexual predators) and some valid arguments, rooted in philosophical or religious beliefs (unnatural, mental illness).

Moreover, everyone knows twitter is not exactly the place with the healthiest representative sample of mankind...

The claim wasn't that it was a common, healthy, or well researched opinion. Just that it exists, unlike what the parent wrote.
