People think of "bad" as badass because it poses a rebellion against the old "almighty good" that people wanted to go against in the wake of the relativist dominance of society

So basically evil = freedom while good = obediance? Never really thought of it that way, more the reverse, really

not so much that as the current mentality that says "morality is subjective" is basically a response to the previous way of thinking which claimed morality within a certain set of values (mostly christian values), and as society decided to step away from those, movements would employ things considered "evil" as a form of rebellion.

And as anyone who talk about teen years would usually tell you feeling "rebellious" is just something that some people enjoy for some reason... And it became a trend

I don´t particularly agree with the presented views, there being different opinions has nothing to do with whether those views on morality have any grounds to stand on, but I think anyone can imagine where saying that gets me

I guess you're right. I personally don't find being rebellious particularly good and view it as more of a silly notion, yet I typically find bad characters cool more so for the colour scheme associated with them

Well, I was talking about where the whole thing comes from. Over time, it just became culturaly accepted that "dark"= "badass"

Mm.. Originally black was good, but somewhere along the way it started to become viewed as evil

what makes you say that?

Black was associated with good, fertile soil back in.. Greek mythology? Or roman? I can't remember, I think it was greek anyway
