Vengeance against evil doesn’t make you evil. Delighting in committing a heinous act, and justifying that delight because it’s directed towards evil makes you kinda evil though. If the thought of putting someone in a woodchipper brings you joy, you’ve lost the plot. At best, against the worst people, I’d feel hollow catharsis. But the primary emotion I’d feel is grief over someone’s abandoned humanity and the fact I got pushed so far.
Yeah I joke about making bad people go through suffering as a form of justice but honestly if I had to get revenge I’d just do it quick and fast. The most important thing is to remove the bad person so they can’t hurt others.
