@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. - Show replies

@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 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'Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@BootlegGirl rather than accepting that ordinary people are the ones that commit evil acts. I get your point thoughThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
