I feel sorry for the people who believe that humans come in two easily distinguishable forms - good and evil. They're in for a big unpleasant surprise.

There's different kinds of villainy, though, just like there are different levels of evil in the world. We're all capable of a certain level of evil. But we aren't all going to go out and start a genocide (we might participate in one unknowingly or we're raised that way, but actively being excited to start one is a different matter). That's why there are different kinds of villains in different kinds of genres. You have the ones that gradually go that way or are that way because it is what they've always known and are more like normal people. Then you have the big powerful ones who crave power and have power and are very, very evil. You're more likely to find that type in scifi/fantasy type things. But there are some real world examples in people like Hitler, Trump, etc.

Look at ATLA. You have Sozin and Ozai, two big, over the top powerful villains who are pretty evil. Although Sozin gets their gradually while Ozai was raised in it. Then you have Zuko who is only that way because he was raised in it, but because he gets some better teaching from Iroh, he eventually wakes up and gets out. And you have Azula who is raised in it and isn't able to overcome her upbringing. Those two are the more ordinary people villains. So you can have both in the same fandom.

Yeah, one of the things that keeps drawing me back to my old fandom, I couldn't even put into words until recently, but there are no "good people" in it. The good guy is not a good guy. The obvious bad guy is not a bad guy but he's definitely also not a good guy. None of the minor characters is a good person (except maybe the little kid), and even the eventual final boss has some good intentions among the egotistical ones.

Any one of these characters could be "the villain" to someone else, and none of them are actually entirely evil. ...Well okay, one of them is a total scumbag without a hint of honor or decency, but everyone else is a mixed bag. ;)

What show is this?

Not a show, a video game. PS1 action RPG called Vagrant Story which I talk way too much about for it being a dead fandom because it is my very favorite :P
