But that's happened IRL probably millions of times. Something actually absurd would be like. An unholy crusade to genocide a specific type of fruit tree across the whole world.
>But that's happened IRL probably millions of times.
But it usually happened because people were starving. It's barely evil then. Eating a baby just to spite its parents would be absurdly evil.
Watch the south park s5e04 (Scott Tenorman Must Die), that is absurd evil.
>But it usually happened because people were starving.
Read up on Udah Hussein. Or Mary the 1st of England. Atrocities sure enough do happen and have happened by people for no reason other than to commit such actions. Evil is real and it is alive.
>But it usually happened because people were starving. It's barely evil then.
Maybe it's just my culture, but killing and eating a child so you don't starve is something you would be ostracized for life for and probably imprisoned or executed for.
I said eating, not killing. As in the baby already starved to death because no one had food for a week and now it's a waste of meat to not eat it.
Ritualized cannibalistic Infanticide was a key religious ritual and population control method for several tribes of aboriginal Australians prior to their subjugation by the British.
How do we know that? As far as I am aware there's no writtern records or even pictograms depicting the practice.
They were still doing it when the British got there. Also they pass it down in their extremely complex oral tradition.

How about an unholy crusade to eradicate a specific type of flower?

Petty motivations can really help sell absurdity. Murder is pretty evil, but not the absurd; murdering someone because chew their food too loudly, though, is a bit absurd.
I have no doubt this has happened at least a couple of thousand times
>Petty motivations can really help sell absurdity.
This. I really like to do this with Warhammer vampires, who I tend to run as narcissists with he power to back up their grandiosity. So if they're taken with an artist's style, for example, they might make him paint a few portraits, kill him, then attack owners of and destroy his other work so that the vampire possesses the only and best examples. I had a Blood Dragon who literally deliberately went around committing pointlessly cruel atrocities and leaving orphan survivors hoping one of them would grow up to be interesting enough to be worth fighting. I had another who was 'breeding' mortals from his (long, long, long dead) brother's line trying to produce someone interesting enough with the right breeding to give the gift of undeath. 'Petty motivations, outrageous methods' is fun.
My mom threatened to smother me in my sleep for just that reason
Some canadian pig farmer did exactly that lmao
>Some canadian pig farmer did exactly that lmao
He’s up for parole lmao
That's kind of the problem. There's like a "reasonability filter" in fiction where you'll react to an outlandish thing like it's simply not reasonable, and you don't buy it. And then you look at reality and it's way worse. Truth is stranger than fiction, but only because we write it that way because we wouldn't believe it otherwise.
Imagine having a villian like general buttnaked. It'd just come off as tryhard.
crack open the book of vile darkness to a random page
Some peasants in late medieval France apparently murdered a knight and force fed his meat to his wife and young children.
That's Chaotic Good.
If you are going to be an edgelord to begin with, you better commit to it.

Killing a random girl because she's hotter than you according to a demon.
>Killing a random girl because she's hotter than you according to a demon.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?
also, condemning a baby to death just because her parents did not invite you to her baptism.
To be fair, that was more because the other fairies insulted her and publicly embarrassed her. Maleficent was seemingly willing to play it off as a mistake until that fat gobshite said no one wanted her there. But yes, that is still outrageously wicked.
Burning down a city and violating the sanctity of a church because some bimbo won't let you coom.
Founding a slavery republic on the ideas of freedom and liberty?
>Founding a slavery republic on the ideas of freedom and liberty?
nah, that's irony.
What's a "slavery republic", anon
I think he is trying to say a republic revolving around liberty and freedom while still having a slave caste.
I know you had a difficult time understanding what he meant because there is no examples of this in human history, specially not modern history.
exterminate the gnome race just because one of them insulted you.
>Exterminate gnomes
Nah that's a good deed
Hey hey people.
Okay, replace gnomes with that race you really like.
I like that Overlord makes it clear that being evil for the sake of it is dumb by rewarding you with "pure evil energy" crystals growing out of your skin.
>Exterminate the last unicorn, just cause
>Exterminate the last bit of uncorrupted forest
>Feed elf slaves to giant slugs, just because
>Exterminate the elves by choosing to take gold instead of free the last of their enslaved women

Really, OP should just play Overlord. It is exactly the comedic over-the-top evil they're looking for.

That's not what that post was talking about. The context was SRS. Be relevant or begone.
It's mutilation, it's being done to children on large scale, and it's motivated by delusin (religious kind and/or "moral" puritanism).
Just because you personally obsess about particular kind of messing children up doesn't mean it's the only misteatment that threatens them.
>Just because you personally obsess about particular kind of messing children up
You're literally the one so obsessed with mgm that you shoehorned it into a trans discussion lmao
In conclusion, you lack reading comprehension AND self awareness.
Choosing to deliberately frick up the world and spread misery and horror because, after sincerely repenting serving an autistic moron even worse than you, the people of the world didn't want to listen to your totally cool plan to improve everything.
What about starting a centuries long war that claimed countless lives and culminated in a battle so devastating that it sank a portion of the landmass it was fought on because Satan stole your chaos emeralds?
save a town from demons and then kill them because they wouldn't be in that situation if they had more faith.
nah man think about it. the town much have such a corrupt govermenance that if they didn't nip demon summoners in the bud they are too incompitent to live and guess who elected the governance? The people. They are too stupid or corrupt to live. The paladins did nothing wrong in this situation.
Spamming inane alignment threads while pretending it's valuable discussion.
Taking candy from a baby.
hey, calm down psychopath, we're not monsters.
It's not like I want that candy.
I just don't want the baby to have it.
Just slapping a baby. You see a baby carried by his mother, curious about everything, go over them, slap the kid, the crying starts, the woman just stares like she can't believe it just happened, and you go away. It's so pointless, so petty, with no actual lasting consequences for the victim, so sure to create problems for you, that's just moronic. Very evil actions usually have reasons. They might be stupid reasons, but at least there's a motivation.
I've seen videos of at least two different chinamen doing just this.
I'm talking about fiction, which must have standards. Reality doesn't care about human perceptions, beliefs and our potential for pettiness. If reality was believable, Nazi Germany would have failed to conquer France.
Besides, I'm also talking about not having reasons. Nothing you wrote said anything about them having no reasons, stupid or not.
Taxation.
Getting voted into power by the masses on the expectation that you will weild it to benifet them, then ignoring them and using the power solely for personal gain and profit.

Nuking the moon.
What about biting a piece of the moon and writing initials on it?
>like eating a baby
Depends. If you ate a baby because there's a famine and you just happen to have a baby, then it's gruesome but some could justify it with "you have to survive"
Would be different if say, something like eating a baby just because. Baby farms where a woman fishes for condoms in the trash to impregnate herself, wait for 9 months, then eats the babies. Ignoring the fact that a human can't survive for 9 months without nourishment, the fact that she wants to hold on for 9 months just to eat the baby seems evil, stupid, and impractical.
There was also this thing at South Korea back then where there was this group who would get pregnant and get screened if the fetus was a boy and then abort it and nail its head to a nearby bulletin board. Kinda like an inverse thing with China's little emperor except with China they just want boys to carry the family name/martial arts school/business, with South Korea iirc it was just some really weird extremist feminist cult with its own Ganker
Maybe just pouring something in the water that contaminates it for no reason other than to deprive water to an entire region, even for themselves, but it also comes off as stupid evil
>Things like eating a baby.
That's not necessarily absurdly evil, in extreme enough circumstances it basically becomes a modest proposal.

Deliberately create a slave race with a disobedient nature so irresistible that you KNOW every one of them WILL do something to offend you, even babies who die the day they're born... and blame them for it instead of fixing it.
>evil actions too absurd to take seriously
Really you should read Titus Andronicus. One of the most spectacularly evil characters is Aaron the Moor and he is somewhat of a cartoonish badass while doing his evil. Here is his monologue at the very end of the play:
Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.
Even now I curse the day – and yet I think
Few come within the compass of my curse –
Wherein I did not some notorious ill,
As kill a man or else devise his death,
Ravish a maid or plot the way to do it,
Accuse some innocent and forswear myself,
Set deadly enmity between two friends,
Make poor men’s cattle break their necks,
Set fire on barns and haystacks in the night
And bid the owners quench them with their tears.
Oft have I digged up dead men from their graves
And set them upright at their dear friends’ door,
Even when their sorrows almost was forgot,
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters,
‘Let not your sorrow die though I am dead.’
Tut , I have done a thousand dreadful things
As willingly as one would kill a fly,
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed
But that I cannot do ten thousand more.
Rajaat in Dark Sun, responsible for the genocidal Cleansing Wars to kill other races was a pretty absurd evil action. Rajaat turned the sun from yellow to crimson red with his Dark Lens.
Claiming that men can be women and women can be men, and mutilating children en masse to foster this delusion.
I once played demiurge game in a thread, where players were some god-like entities on a distant planet. A big spaceship of human colonists crushed on that planet in different zones and players pick each of survived group to play civ with them.
My character was manifestation of infantility and childness, turbo-sweet e-girl representing everything cute and nice (I knew what I was doing, GM was into this kind of stuff).
So, she did crazy and pretty cruel stuff without realising it. For example, first thing she did - made a forest and all creatures in it (including trees) - semi-sapient and able to speak human language. Every tree and animal now could pray for mercy and cry not to kill them. But that was only for "cute" creatures. Bad creatures, like spiders and snakes, she just turned into living sweets so they became edible chocolate spiders and caramel snakes unable to speak.
Then I upgraded butterflies into fairies who were able to control light (so they could create illusions and become invisible) and detect "not nice" people. But they were also living creatures which reproducted normally and fast, so they were kinda sexually and morally unhinged (don't remember if that was intended or added by pervy GM). That put colonists under total surveillance and moral degradation at the same time.
And of course she created laser rainbow unicorns to protect forest and punish "not nice" people.
Murdering your allies in cold blood so you can use their blood as finger paint and draw symbols of protection on your armor to ward off evil.

Technically morally neutral in most ethical systems (and in some morally good). Assuming you own the corpse of course.
It's basically an ethical Air Bud rule. Ain't no rule that says you have to treat corpses like people.
Tricking someone into eating their own baby.
Competitive baby eating.
Someone's gotta help these babies, they get absolutely murdered in examples.
exhuming corpses for medical research and education is not evil, and it's not absurd

While the rest of your party sleeps at the inn, you stealthily slip out into the night (you're a Chaotic Evil Thief with a Ring of Invisibility & a Ring of Sustenance so you need never sleep, but you keep the existence of your Ring of Sustenance secret, and eat food normally -- and shit a whole lot -- so that nobody knows how you never sleep and sneak out every night you're feeling reasonably able & froggy)...
...and commit atrocious acts, unspeakable sins best left to the imagination.
Then, without witnesses, plant evidence that leads to certain innocent locals, all as cryptic sacrifices to your evil god. Imagine: a gruesome murder committed by you, in the name of your dark deity, and fraudulently pinned on a perfectly innocent man who's never even thought to harm anyone, who's then tried & executed as a sacrifice...
...or, perhaps, instead of being killed, he is merely imprisoned, deep in an oubliette within a labyrinthine dungeon beneath a king's castle, eventually for you to happen upon, perhaps when you are also captured. Anyway, he doesn't recognize you as the man who framed him for murder -- all of your crimes you've done invisibly under cover of darkness, and he's never even met you except perhaps in passing at the tavern beneath the inn your party stayed at one night years ago -- and you befriend him, your hapless cellmate, and teach him about your faith, and help him to begin worshipping your god, and convert him to follow your god, and eventually help you break out of prison with your shared clerical powers...
...only to then murder him in cold blood as a sacrifice to your evil god.
