I would say MLP but Discord never really felt bad for his dark past and being hit with a friendship laser beem doesn't count as being seduced to the light side.
Sure but that’s a truth that’s worth repeating.


I think its more complicated than that in real life because most of the time evil or really dark neutral amounts to habits which make your life easier in the moment and happen to hurt others and are tough to break.
Everything is always more complicated in real life. That’s why we

Real life evil is a bundle of bad habits and justifications of our own actions and our own refusal to confront ourselves about them. Having that courage is the truest form of strength.
