I know everyone has different definitions of evil (which is part of the fun of the contest), but to me if someone commits an evil act, knows that its evil, and doesn't care, that is more evil than someone committing that same evil act and not being able to understand that its evil. That's sort of what I mean by things like Pennywise and It being beyond conventional assessments of morality at times.

If you were able to get Pennywise to admit the absolute truth, like you had Wonder Woman's magic lasso, and you asked him if what he was doing was wrong, I think the response would be "of course not - I need to eat and these things are beneath me." Same sort of justification as we might use to eat beef. "You know how badly they treat cows right? You could live just on this meat substitute and leafy greens and these supplements." And the way we justify it to ourselves is sort of "well, yeah, but those are just cows."

To Pennywise, we're the cows. I don't think a trans-dimensional being, a basic eldritch monstrosity has the ability to understand that we're anything other than a source of food.
