No real person was born evil. No real person can ever be as shallow as a cookie-cutter villain, because they've all lived entire lives that shaped them into being evil. Most of those lives would be boring to watch, sure, but they're not simple or shallow like a character, because they're real. Your attitude is honestly one of the most terrifying because people who think like you think they're not capable of becoming evil. Anyone can go down the path of evil at any time. You think you're immune because you're not "the system," it's those evil people. You could become one of the evil people who thinks they're good because your evil acts aren't motivated by selfish reasons like money or power. You think those kinds of evil people are fictional. You're wrong.

Yeah. A lot of absolutely brutal real-world harm is done by people who think they're doing the right thing. Terrorists think they're heroic underdogs (looking at you, QAnon, thinking you're doing something to protect children and "save America" and overthrow the evil Deep State). Lots of abuse is "for your own good" and the abuser really believes that.

Anybody can become the villain in someone else's story. People who don't realize that scare me a hell of a lot more than self-aware people who just think Loki is hot.
