Destroyer of Innocence does not have to take pleasure in committing their acts; that is not a requirement for the category. Second, a Failure-Intolerant can be a Destroyer of Innocence. The Destroyer of Innocence causes a "loss of innocence" in the story and as a result of it crosses the Moral Event Horizon.

As I said in my previous post, the Destroyer of Innocence can vary in what they do but harming an innocent harmless person, to treachery and deception, to causing massive destruction and so on.

Innocence is based upon sympathy. Innocence could be in a setting like a light-hearted setting but because of what the DOI does in the setting; the setting is no longer light-hearted, sympathetic or "innocent".

Innocence could be based on the villain and how what they do can erase this innocence and as a result they are not so sympathetic and in many cases becomes Pure Evil.

Innocence can also be based on another character and how a DOI does something to harm the character or hurts the character deeply to the point that character no longer trusts or looks up to that character or their life is changed negatively forever like what happened to Bruce Wayne when he was young.
