I mean, this highlights one of the reasons I kind of dislike the word "evil" in the first place. It's incredibly nebulous and ill-defined, yet as a label it's very black-and-white; you're either evil or you're not.

Personally, while I'm willing to use the word evil as short-hand in conversations about media, I don't actually believe in it IRL. And the more nuanced and sophisticated the storytelling, the more I tend to chafe against the notion of a character being "evil."

If a narrative is actually sophisticated enough to make me think about the nature of evil, then I'm probably already at the point where, for my own purposes, I'd rather define the story's antagonist(s) in other, more nuanced terms.

I think maybe we use the word "evil" too loosely at times in real life but I am pretty confident that it does exist. Personally.

I think this is very much an issue of personal perspective. From my perspective, "evil" is not a real thing the same way being a "slut" is not a real thing. I comprehend the basic gist of what someone probably means when they use the word, I just don't perceive it as having any real intrinsic meaning, and I also tend to disagree with a lot of the basic suppositions that are foundational to the word's conception.

Agreeing to disagree works for me, though.

I just don't think there is a word strong enough to describe how bad things like genocide are besides evil. Yes, it gets complicated where the line is, blurry, and it is more fluid and up to opinion in the center. But some things just are evil.
