Talk:evil

In Spanish you can say "lo mal" for "the bad", "the bad ones", "the bad people". In this case "lo" is the neuter article because "mal" is not a noun but an adjective being used as a noun and hence has no gender.

Also in Spanish, "mal" is used attributively before male nouns (mal tiempo), "malo" is used predicatively with male subjects (el tiempo es malo), "mala" if used both ways with feminine nouns. Hippietrail 12:01, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Picture of 'Evil Man'
Hey so, there are a *lot* of antisemitic tropes going on in that picture. . . there are characterizations of villains that don't rely on that kind of bigotry, and one of those should probably be used instead.

Update 2023.4.1: Following up on this comment by another user, I have deleted the image for a *second* time. I hope that no supervisor will override to include an image that is deeply offensive and utterly unnecessary. Gusto2199 (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
