I have a deep suspicion of people who play the "Bad Guys" in PC RPGs and TTRPGs. Unless I'm extremely frustrated and just going through the motions the "Evil" options usually make me feel really bad and gross, and I always wonder why someone else would want to feel that way, or what they're actually feeling instead of bad and gross. Same reason I don't trust Confederate Civil War reenactors or wheraboos. Sure, study history, but why would you want to re-create that.
Yeah, I mean I get the urge to play a dominating force, but there are literally a dozen historical choices from Napoleon to Cao Cao with better motivations for your morally questionable 1-tag.
yeah even as an edgy teenager i felt really dirty and awful, and could never bring myself to do an evil run of anything since

Can we make Romance of the Three Kingdoms reenactments a thing?
I'd love to do living history in non western cultures.
But while I'd like to take part I'm also the whitest person alive so I think I might not be the person to take charge of that.
