User blog comment:Orange Diamond/How to be Evil in a Roleplay/@comment-31232700-20160310150506

(Something tells me thathat .01% is the Diamonds)

Usually when I portray an "evil character", it's pretty obvious that I try to put them in a good light. Literally all of Pandemic takes place on Homeworld, and 5/7 of the main cast is a bunch of patriarchal... words I can't say in blog comments....

Regardless, Homeworld has been pretty demonized in the Canon universe. They've glued together gem corpses, have a strong dislike for organic life, and plan on destroying the Earth. Gotta admit, that sounds awfully cruel.

But when I portray my villains I try to make them seem like the good guys about it. Maybe he or she has a REASON for their motive. Maybe they're not even the bad guy, and the "protagonist" is the one with harmful intent.

That's usually something I take into consideration, but I really liked this blog post a lot.
