Not Important is Pure Evil, unlike gore villains he has motives, personality and the game has a plot beyond just him killing people.. think of him as that guy from Rampage.. a misanthropic terrorist - motived by hatred of other humans and mentall illness.

they are not mindless, they are not "made of evil", they have enough personality that they are not just "shocker" villains (since said personality makes them unique and they couldn't just be replaced by any random person, as many shocker villains can).

also Not Important is incredibly heinous by the standards of his world, even in a dystopia where everyone is nasty you can have people so absurdly vile they transcend even the zero morality of these settings (look at some Warhammer 40K villains, they have achieved the feat of being ugly monsters in a setting where everyone is a monster).

so, no, Not Important shouldn't be seen as "just exploitation" - also exploitation is just a genre, it in no way disqualifies anyone.. every work is judged as is.. whether it is exploitation or not.

I mean no one in any Troma film can count because the Troma films are so absurd and not meant to be taken seriously but there's plenty of exploitation settings that have Pure Evil in them.. even torture-porns.. it depends on whether the stories are more than just "for shock value" and if characters are bad enough, when a series tries to continually up the "evil" scales they tend to lose the ability to make Pure Evil because everyone has got so ridiculously heinous it verges on dark parody.
