perverts

Twists from proper

Perverts functions as both verb and noun.

To pervert something is to corrupt or distort it from its proper purpose: pervert the course of justice, pervert the truth.

As a noun, a pervert is someone whose sexual desires or behavior deviate from what's considered normal—typically used disparagingly: Some pervert was lurking in the park.

The noun carries strong negative connotations; calling someone a pervert implies deviance and often danger.
