1 | Some things are ObviouslyEvil. This index is for those things that aren't. Be they [[CuteIsEvil cute]], [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon innocent-looking]] [[KillerRabbit animals]], [[EnfanteTerrible small children]], or just have [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good publicity]], evil in the world often hides under an array of disguises and facades. This is a list of these various nondescript places where evil beings often lurk. These tropes are the opposite of IndexWithAHeartOfGold and QuirkyGood. |
