Eh. IRL I would call that evil and maybe in some fiction if the worldbuilding flawlessly shows that as being the societal definition of evil. But in most media I tend to think of people as evil only if they hurt others mainly for the pleasure they get from hurting others.

Yeah, that tends to be my in-media definition of evil, too. If a character isn't sadistic, I probably don't see them as "evil." That's not to say their sadism is the only bad thing about them, or even the worst thing really--just that it's the most unambiguously and uncontestably horrible. They aren't operating from a perspective that makes them see their actions as valid or justified or necessary. They inflict suffering because they want to, because they like how it makes them feel.

Yeah, this is what makes a character "evil" to me. Like, I wouldn't call one of the villains from my canon evil because he genuinely believes he's doing the right thing, even though he's going about it all the wrong way. The other villain is totally 100% evil, though, because he likes to hurt people for the sheer fun of it and enjoys their suffering.
