Debate time

OK here's the debate of the day (or however long it goes on for)

Marquis De Sade. Clinically insane psychopath? or brilliant forerunner to the sexual revolution of the 20th century?

I was having this discussion earlier and neither of us have come to a conclusion.

I believe that De sade was a brilliant man and has indeed been almost instrumental in the developing area of fetish. I mean really... Sadism comes from his name.

Granted he's did some truly evil things, But on the other hand he was incredibly intelligent and had some very (at the time) taboo ideas.

What do you all think? how much has he impacted modern society's view on sex and kink?
