<p>Well, I suggested it because, maybe I was wrong, but a show based on a slaughter is certainly one of the most barbaric who could do. </p>

I agree it is barbaric and something needs to be done.

<div class="quote"> <p>Queen Misery wrote: the "evil knight" is a well-enough known archetype that it can stay as its own category.. it also makes it much simpler, since it can mean both a military rank or a simple title.. if we really, really want to get rid of it the best would be Aristocrats (for those who are of "noble" rank (barons, lords, knights, counts etc) - without being Monarchy (kings, queens, emperors, princes, princesses etc) ). </p> </div> <p>How about Knighted. That covers both actual military fighting men and "in name only title". </p><p>Otherwise "Aristocrats" or "Nobility" works best for the knighted while leaving Military for the fighting variety. </p><p>Though I'll ask, is a *title* even a necessary category for a villain? </p>

<p>I think yes. A person doesn't usually spend several years studying only to be called "Mr" or "Mrs". A title is often critical for respect. </p>

<p>Here's another idea; "Double Agent"? Don't you think that, respect to espionage, we have enought with "Spy"? </p>

I think so too.

<p>Ok, another idea, I just saw subcategories of "Hypocrites", and... don't you think it could be consolidated into "Liars"? </p>

<p>Liars are not intrinsically Evil or Wicked. Protagonists and Heroes can Lie. Even the so-called "Lie of Omission"—which I do not personally subscribe to— is necessary for Good Guys in the need of maintaining a secret identity. </p><p>However, <i>Hypocrites</i>—while also not intrinsically Evil—is often more proactively negative. </p>

<p>So, keep "Hypocrites?" </p>

That would be my vote.
