<p>This is a really poor effortpost. Be sure to go over all the criteria and be specific about it. It's the rules.</p><p>
</p><p>CHARACTERS' TRAITS</p><p>(Does the character have a define personality? Or is it a one-dimensional character such as a mindless destroying beast?)</p><p>
</p><p>HEINOUS STANDARDS</p><p>(Does the character commit acts that are extremely heinous and unforgivable? Does the character stand out from the rest of the villains featured in the story they are part of?)</p><p>
</p><p>MORAL EVENT HORIZON</p><p>(Has the villain crossed the Moral Event Horizon?)</p><p>
</p><p>INDIVIDUAL CAPABILITY</p><p>(Does the villain use every resource they have at their disposal to cause a maximum of evil?)</p><p>
</p><p>MORAL AGENCY</p><p>(Does the villain have an agency over their actions, and can distinguish right from wrong?)</p><p>
</p><p>ONLY INDIVIDUALS</p><p>
</p><p>NO REDEEMING QUALITIES</p><p>(Is the villain completely devoid of any altruistic quality?)</p><p>
</p><p>NO SYMPATHY</p><p>(Is the villain completely unsympathetic and unforgivable with no Freudian excuse?)</p><p>
</p><p>SCREEN TIME</p><p>(Are the villains' worst acts on-screen?)</p><p>
</p><p>WORST</p><p>(Is the villain the worst, or at least one of the worst characters in the story?)</p><p>
</p><p>STORY TYPE</p><p>(Is the story "normal", or purposefully over-the-top appalling? In which case, the Heinous Standards would be so high that it would be almost impossible to have a Purely Evil villain in the story.)</p>
