Except maybe for children and the dumber types, most people already know what evil looks like. They are willing to pretend, so what more lifelike portrayals will do is irritate them.
A non-negligible portion of the electorate, unfortunately.
The latter portion, which wants portrayed evil to be grotesque and not like reality, because they are not going to avoid evil anyway, is even bigger.
I mean, I don't like fools. Like half of my family are terrible fools. But the "smart" people with no idea of kindness, fair conduct or at least sport are worse, and in my experience more common than fools, not less.
It's the guys who twirl their mustaches or have skulls on their uniforms, isn't it?
Didn't forget the eye patch and scar.
No, it's the "neutral" types. Who are all good when the guys with skulls are defeated, and all compliant when the guys with skulls are in charge.
Guys with skulls themselves are usually more peculiar types, not really discomforted by open public discourse. Just not limiting themselves to any moral boundary. You'd probably find them interesting.
