Where has all the "real evil" gone in our games, written works, t.v. and movies?

[Vesayen]

In fictional works, games, movies etc.... where has all the "real evil" gone?

I mean hardcore raping children while their mothers watch and vice versa evil.


I'm sick of "evil light" in my fiction.....

Here is the difference between evil and evil light in games/fiction.

The evil light evil emperor, god, person etc kills lots of innocent people and takes over the kingdom, oh no!

Those people are NEVER shown, and barley described...... oh-this person is tremendousley evil even though we dont show him as such.....

Real evil shows that, it EXPLAINS why it is evil, saying "oh he conquered the whole country!" dosent cut it anymore.......


I hoped I described this well, I doubt I did though.

I'm just sick of "vanilla" evil-I've built up a tollerance.

Read "The Seer King", "The Demon King" and "THe Warrior King" by Chris Bunch.

Laish Tenedos is about as evil as they come.

ACK!

Real Evil is gone to the White House

I don't like real evil in my fiction. I like compexity. I like confusion, it helps the suspense. ie FF VII was great, you satrted working for Shin-Ra.

You just need to select fictional works better... there is more than enough REAL EVIL out there. Maybe you shouldn't be picking stuff that has PG 13 ratings

To me, the only difference between good and evil in fiction, is who wins in the end. That's why I don't like to know who the good guy is.

BTW, I don't read fiction books. And of course, I hate most movies, because it is too obvious too early who the bad guy is.

real evil?

read anything by anne rice.

no, the stuff she writes about isn't the evil part.

it's the actual fact of reading her that's the real evil. it'll make you want to crush your own skull while you watch.

especially if you read something like "beauty".

Cthulhu in 2004. Why vote for a lesser evil?

[Dr Strangelove]

Since when was child molestation ever a major part of literature? Has someone done gone and changed us over to the NAMBLA channel?

[JohnT]

Lolita, anyone?

Watch Kill Bill

nothing like having a coma patient repeatedly raped in the hospital.

If that's not evil then what is?

And then you have the paedophilia guy who was killed by the young Japanese girl.
