User blog comment:Stolen5487/PE Proposal: Preston Northwest/@comment-39032584-20190809023520

Sadly, despite being a very unlikeable grade-A jerk, no, I don't think he qualifies. I know I'm just echoing other comments, but he isn't played seriously enough, with some of those bits being played as jokes, and he may be a horrible father, but it's really not detailed. We just know he thinks he can train Pacifica like a dog and pressures her to aspire for perfection.

Also, while this is a well-written proposal that makes some solid points, if I may offer a little feedback, one or two particular points are a little exaggerated, most notably the bit about "selling out humanity" to Bill. He may have been willing to betray humanity, but even aside from it being played for a chuckle, it's not as if we was actively putting anyone in any more danger than they were already in., which is one way that sentence can be read. He was merely "getting on the winning side" so to speak, which is comical precisely because we already know what a coward he is and practically expect that from him. As for the bit about endangering the people at this party, keep in mind; everyone in the Northwest family up until Pacifica had maintained the tradition of keeping the gates closed to the common people, so in a way, he was simply, stubbornly dedicated to a tradition that all his predecessors had carried on, and he didn't want to give in and be the one to "break the chain", so to speak.

Overall, I can see why you were undecided and wanted to make this proposal, but I think he's the kind of guy who would only have a real shot at qualifying if the heinous standard was much lower. Even without a lot of resources, he's mostly just very selfish and unlikeable, and even though he has no real regard for other people, he rarely threatens them harm himself; he just can't emphathize and make unselfish decisions, which is obviously bad (to the point of coming off as a bit of a sociopath), just not bad enough for this type of show to be considered an embodient of pure evil.
