How do you handle evil?

Been there done that. Fake hollywood Punisher is best Punisher.

Wow. That was EVIL, and I don't mean the Punisher. I can't believe you made me watch that.

Skipped six pages so I'm not sure how this thread arrived at a Hollywood discussion, but:

In my games you can play any alignment you want; as long as any and all in-character arguments, disputes, fights, and disagreements stay in character and don't spill over to the table.

I don't enjoy playing in evil campaigns, and I don't enjoy playing evil characters. I'm a frequent GM, and I refuse to run evil campaigns. I've only played one evil character, and he was very much an "evil helping the good guys against greater evil for personal reasons." But then, I'm also the type of person who can't bring themselves to play the Evil route in the majority of video games that have them.

Having said that, evil characters and campaigns are a perfectly valid playstyle, and I don't begrudge people who enjoy playing those types of games. They're just not for me.

You don't. You're free to assess the fake Hollywood punisher all you want, including calling a serial murderer neutral instead of the evil that he is. You just aren't assessing The Punisher.

Two different Punishers. Not sure why there's disagreement when both agree that there are different Punishers.

Oh, we were discussing various characters and what makes an evil character. The Punisher was a side tangent but in principle they were trying to discuss what makes a character evil.

Well, there's still the fact that the TV Punisher is a serial killer who murders people according to his unique personal motivation, which is pretty much the definition of evil.

On that account we can definitely agree, the Castle you see on Netflix is plenty evil.

You mean the Marvel-approved Punisher, who is now entering the MCU- which is an authorized Marvel Universe. So, a different Punisher from the comics, but The Punisher nonetheless. I really get the impression that you are the kind of guy that chases women out of comic stores calling them fake fans and demand people list off entire discographies when you see them wearing band t-shirts. Lots of No True Scotsman going on here.
