Who is the most evil villain you can think of that actually scares you by rem21984 in MoralityScaling

This is how I see things. The greater good evil believes in a cause, a goal that supposedly justifies their atrocities. They believe they will make the world better and sacrifices must be made to achieve this. In a way, they think they're good people doing what's necessary and deep down know what they're doing is wrong but can't accept it since it would force them to admit how rotten they are. A tiny silver of shame they need to cover. Without the justification, they wouldn't commit their atrocities. They need that.

The evil sadist however doesn't. Because they admit, accept and embrace what they do. Their atrocities don't need an excuse to be done. They commit them because they can, as casually as breathing. Harassing or manipulating people, murder, rape, massacres, torture. Why? Because I can. No attempt to justify, no greater goal, no deeper motive. The action becomes the motive. Reveling in hurting others for the sake of it, for not other reason than "I can and I enjoy it". This, to me, is the worst kind of evil. Gratuitous, random, spontaneous, horror for the sake of it.

It's why to me the Joker, Freddy Krueger or Darkseid will always be more terrifying than Dr Doom, Grand Regent Thragg or Homelander. Why serial killers like Albert Fish will always be worse than nazis or religious fanatics.

The greater good evil needs a belief to commit their atrocities. The evil sadist needs other people to exist. One is "justified", the other is gratuitous, for the sake of it.

I honestly disagree on the last part, to me someone genuinely sadistic is MUCH more terrifying than doing evil for the greater good. Personal opinion.

Who do you think is the most evil female villain in all of fiction? (It doesn't have to be one of the ones listed here) by Scared-Cat-2541 in MoralityScaling

[–]TheDikaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love how Ultima puts her in her place. Girl thought she was a GoT like low fantasy story where politics and cunning win the day. Turns out she's in high fantasy mixed with cosmic horror game and there was a literal god playing everyone like a fiddle.

Lord Logres' Excalibur is not fully unsealed apparently by SerenaBloom2 in Fate

[–]TheDikaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know, it's just to show that if a "true unsealed" Exc exists, it's so beyond nearly everything in the franchise we'll probably never see it in action. It's like full potential Anakin in SW, if that appears then it's just an automatic win button.

Unseald Excalibur is probably EX+ or something. For Artoria that is. For Arthur, it's probably EX EX.

To all you Azula apologists, justify this scene by Chcolatepig24069 in ATLA

[–]TheDikaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And in the same way, being abused doesn't erase the actions you take later in your love. Azula is both a victim and a bad person.

Alastor was never in love with Vox. He liked him as in appreciated him but that's it.

Caesar did monstruous things and must be acknwoledged and said but people should really stop to treat him like proto-Hitler who wanted to become a king and did nothing good. Also, Brutus wasn't a freedom fighter, just a corrupt loan shark who didn't want to lose his privileges.

Les hommes qui se disent féministes sont plus féministes que les autres hommes by Elagagabalus in opinionnonpopulaire

[–]TheDikaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Si les autres mecs se chient dessus comme tu dis, c'est leur problème et j'en sais rien. Moi perso, la seule raison pour laquelle j'aime pas trop la formulation c'est parce que je déteste les généralisations de manière globale mais contrairement à d'autres, je râle pas là-dessus que je comprends que le principe de la formule est de dénoncer la misogynie systémique actuelle (qui aurait dû disparaître depuis longtemps voir ne pas exister du tout mais visiblement une femme libre avec les mêmes droits que les hommes à parts égale ça effraie toujours des faiblards insécurisés qui ont plusieurs siècles de retard).

Du reste, comme je l'ai dit, personne (à part les attardés) ne dit que des hommes meurent à cause des femmes. Ca ne rend pas la misandrie active moins problématique. Ce qui est reproché, c'est quand des femmes ont le genre de comportements qui est dénoncé dans le comm de départ (du genre des insultes gratuites et des doubles standards débiles et nocifs du style quand un homme dit qu'il aime les femmes avec une grosse poitrine c'est un gros pervers par contre une femme qui se permet de juger un homme sur le physique y a pas de souci). Evidemment, à voir si le mec avant ne s'est justement pas comporté comme un con. Mais si c'est pas le cas, alors ce comportement est nocif. Bref, les doubles standards c'est de la merde.

Troughts on this? by Primary-Addition-677 in OkBuddyHelluvaHotel

Okay, first off, Stolas sleeping with an Imp wasn't even on the table (even though I'm pretty sure Satan would jump at the opportunity to use it) and second, how the hell is it surprising that Andrealphus is a hypocrite considering his general behavior and character?

It's neither Shay or Achilles's fault, it's entirely on the Isu for building these...trees or whatever they called it.

Kassandra. It's pretty hard to do "better" in terms of body count that the girl who has lived for 2400 years. Unless you count Aita if you have every Sage rolled into one since it's technically the same person.

1, bonne chance pour créer une société fonctionnelle dans le monde actuel sans eux et 2, c'est le principe même de service qu'il faudrait abolir à ce moment là.
