1* DracoInLeatherPants: The Malleus Maleficarum gets this among critics of the setting, because of how self-centered the witches can be, combined with the ability to act on this bitchiness through ForcedTransformation, disintegration, and casual murder. In the actual canon, they're an evil gang whose tragic experiences with witches lead them to consider merely being a witch a crime punishable by death, and will gladly kill witches who ''aren't'' evil and use their powers for the benefit of others or in self-defense, or children who ''don't know any better'' than to turn people they don't like into toads just because they can.
2* NightmareFuel: Really, the whole setting is ''terrifying'' if you think about it.
3** Its basic setting precept? There's a MageSpecies walking this world who are can be described as entire species of SpoiledBrat {{Reality Warper}}s -- the typical witch is presented as if you took a [[KidsAreCruel particularly vicious and spiteful little girl]], gave her the power to do ''anything'' she can envision, complete with an entire society that ''encourages'' her to be as mean and cruel as she wants to be, and then gave her immortality with which to do whatever she wants.
4** The many, many, ''many'' horrific displays of witch powers include every flavor of ForcedTransformation you can imagine, from turning people into animals, or [[AndIMustScream fully conscious but immobile objects]], or food - [[ImAHumanitarian which is then consumed by the Witch]], [[FedToTheBeast feeding people to animals or magical monsters]], MindRape, and flat-up ''disintegrating people''.
5* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Let's see: on one side, you've got a bunch of self-centered, impulsive kids with powerful magic who see no problem with using their powers to do horrible things to ordinary people over the pettiest slights. On the other hand, you've got a society of vicious {{Knight Templar}}s who are so consumed with FantasticRacism against witches that they'll even go after the few who actually use their power for non-selfish purposes.
6* UnintentionallySympathetic: The Malleus Maleficarum are, again, supposed to be psychotic, murderous, child-killing practitioners of FantasticRacism. But because witches themselves are presented as such awful, terrifying beings, and the Malleus Maleficarum is explicitly stated to be made up of people who have suffered "tragedy" as a result of crossing the paths of a witch, there are many readers who argue that the Maleficarum's stance is not only justified, but makes them the OnlySaneMan.
7* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: It's literally stated that Witches are not only allowed to do whatever they want to {{muggle}}s so long as they don't break Witch Society's very few rules, but actively encouraged to be as spiteful and vindictive as they like. Made worse by the comics, which seem to go out of their way to present witches in the absolute worst possible light by showcasing just how monstrous, selfish and sadistic they can be.
