thinking back to the rollercoaster of perception around my character's morality.

>i say i'm a lawful evil assassin monk "oh you're lawful evil? i want to raise zombies with you then."

>i say that my character is honor bound to slay any undead and corrupt officials "wait you're not evil. i guess we're a full good party then"

>five sessions in i'm arguing for slaying fleeing enemy combatants, showing leniency to the idea of torturing cultists and taking a hard line stance on killing a character with an affliction beyond her control "oh wait, you're evil. i get it now"

it's so easy to forget that in real life evil people aren't comically so. evil isn't being a serial killer. evil belongs in society. evil is taking the easy way out. it's not doing the right thing, but the thing that doesn't take effort. it's seeing the enemy as 'the bad guys'.

some people aren't ready for evil because they can't see it coming
