Title: People Aren't Born Evil
Post by: rustheart on September 27, 2013, 04:07:47 pm
There are a lot of characters running around who are 'evil'.  Some are just evil for no reason, no past telling us why they are how they are or anything.  Some people think that a character must be black in order to be evil.  But people aren't born evil and they are born with a coloring they can't change.  A evil character can be any color just like a 'good' charcter can be any color.  I have a character named Nixon who is evil and he is pure white.  I also have a evil warrior cat called Runningstar.  He is dark grey but he is also much smaller than the other cats.  Also I see kit running around with the following names, Evilkit, Deathkit and Monsterkit.  Their kits, they can't be evil already!  Their mom must be really messed up if they already think their kit is a horrible monster or they can somehow see into the future and see that their kit will be evil or something.  Now I do have a character named Terrorclaw and was once called Terrorkit.  But that is because he was named after is father who changed his name from Goldentail to Terrorheart.  There is a reason for his evil name unlike these other kits.

This is a really common thing around FH. People assume that people are just born evil and everything circling in their mind is

It's just a thing. A lot of children play this game and they automatically presume people are evil simply by looks.

You guys took the words RIGHt, out of my mouth.

Just because they have a darker pelt color or evil looks does NOT and i repeat DOES NOT mean they are bad people.

This is called 'Stereo-Typing'.

I've actually seen a video that said "no one is born evil" once on Youtube. I was more of a fan of TLK so I came upon a video about Scar/Taka and found that wording. And of course, that is in fact true.

I have a character named Pierce who looks kind of evil and he is evil, but he is just albino and that's the way he was born. I also have a character named Shadu who is pure black with red eyes, but his pelt did have his pelt changed, just through a small story of my made-up weirdness. XD I don't play him in which is why I deleted him, but whatever. He can transform in and out of pelt colors though.

I always make pasts for my characters and evil characters of course, and they are never born evil truly. Havor was born with a strange personality that led him up to becoming a killer. He wasn't exactly born evil, either. He just made mistakes through his past that led him up.

Ahh, what I'm saying here is, I understand you. >_< Also, Tariri, not all children, as you can see what I wrote here.
Though I have to agree with you there, those gifs explain a lot most of the time.

This is so true. I agree with everything said before.

In a book I read, it metioned how people act on what they think is right, and no one things that they're the "bad guy". Which is kinda true if you think about it. Alot of people need to realize that. Im fine with their chaotic evil murder if there is some reasoning with.

As for the "deathkit" and the other names, I can understand some of those, as long as they make sense. "Deathkit" could be a miscarriage who actually lived. "Evilkit" and "monsterkits" could be deformed. They just need a good reason.

Black doesn't equal evil. Worst stereotype on FH.
