      You know, it's just occurred to me that I think "cypher" villains(not a Matrix reference)are perhaps something I don't approve of in fiction

      What I mean by cypher is best exemplified by Ledger's Joker, and watching a much more sensical version of the character on Gotham brought>

      And the older I get, the more I think that "there's no good and evil, just shades of grey"is really a recipe for scapegoating and oppression

          @BootlegGirl The more accurate soundbyte for writing villains is "Every villain is the hero of their own story"

          @BootlegGirl Very few actually see themselves as wanting to do evil; "bad guys" are people whose version of "doing good" is broken.

          @BootlegGirl That's why I like the ending to Korra so much. Korra empathizes with Kuvira but she's still going to stand trial for her crimes

          @BootlegGirl It simultaneously says "Kuvira is a human being worth saving" and "Kuvira is an awful person that will be held accountable."

          @BootlegGirl There's shades of gray but white is still distinct from black

          @BootlegGirl that's what a gradient is, the line it crosses from one to the other is blurred but the extremes are in contrast

          @BootlegGirl I think the issue I take with the concept of evil is that many use it as a way to dismiss evil acts as done by some 'other'

          @BootlegGirl rather than accepting that ordinary people are the ones that commit evil acts. I get your point though
