Not necessarily. Plenty of people think the Saw films are awesome. Plenty of people on 4chan think that posting flashing images to epileptic support boards is awesome, and pushing developmentally disabled children to commit suicide and then harassing their parents forever with pictures of the suicide is awesome.
They will, in fact, use "awesome" explicitly to describe what they're doing.
I thought the first Saw film was awesome. It was a cool gory story about making the most of life. It's fiction, so nobody actually got hurt and there is no secondary consideration of awesomeness there.
Some people think that the prospect of making disabled kids commit suicide is awesome; fewer people think that actually doing so is awesome. I don't think that people who actually do so are awesome.
I think that's a relatively standard use of "awesome".
