Oh so you think making them 99.9999% evil instead of 100.00% evil is a meaningful story distinction huh i see lesson learned you can avoid nerd criticism for having your literally evil evils be evil as long as there's 1 or two of "the good ones," racism defeated

I already find "race essentialism in fantasy media is a 1:1 with real life racism" to be tedious nerd shit when people are talking about orcs and goblins and shit but it's even more tedious when we're talking about devils and demons and things which are conceptually linked with evil and the moment they're not they stop being 'demons' or 'devils'

That's nice, I find fantasies of being able to righteously commit genocide tedious.

Is communism evil?

[CW: Homophobia] Is homosexuality evil?

[CW: Misogyny] Is feminism evil?

It seems to me that a lot of demonic things are, in fact, objectively cool and good
