User blog comment:SnakeTongue237/Top 10 Creepypasta Antagonists (Villians)/@comment-26030957-20150607223358

I'd just like to point out how unfair it is if the world judges us for "advocating bad characters". Some of the world's greatest literature is made up of awful and despicable characters, ''that are actually the protagonists! The murderer Raskolnikov in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment'' immediately comes to mind (and he killed an old lady just for kicks). Also Humbert Humbert in Nabakov's Lolita.  A pedaphile as a protagonist! Then of course Shakespear's King Lear and Macbeth, both murdering, evil protagonists. The list goes on and on, right up to Walter White in Breaking Bad or Tony Soprano. It is humanity's need to understand the essence of evil within themselves that makes us crave "bad characters" and creepypast is just another in a long line of writer's searching their imaginations to achieve this goal.
