Fan Casting Pragmatic Villainy

Role added by germanacola on February 15, 2024

Description of Pragmatic Villainy:

Pragmatic Villainy is when a villain either refuses to do something horrible or does something nice. It's not because the action is too evil even for them, nor is it a genuine Pet the Dog moment. No, it's because it's in their best interest to not act the maggot this time. Whatever the situation might be, choosing the most evil option would be counter-productive to The Plan. As such, the Pragmatic Villain doesn't take this evil option, instead opting for something a little less evil or even genuinely good.
