Acknowledging that evil people are in fact people isn’t softcore, it’s a baseline necessity to critically examine one’s own actions and beliefs for moral flaws. If you believe yourself to be a good person, and you believe that only evil people do evil things, then you give yourself a pass on everything you do. That car crash can’t have been your fault, because you’re good a good driver, and only bad drivers cause crashes. That homicide wasn’t manslaughter, it was self defense. Only bad people commit manslaughter. Everyone knows rape is evil, and you’re a good person, so there’s no way that sex you had was rape. If someone says otherwise, they must be lying or mistaken.
You clearly do though.
