why are evil characters and villains duplicate categories when they are just literally the same?

Just for example, in Stellaris you can play as a genocidal sentient AI hellbent on killing organics that tries to kill a pacifist democracy.

what i am thinking is for example, you have an evil character named thanos (marvel cinematic universe), and even he had good intentions too. characters listed on evil characters also do have.SchroKatze said:

Yeah they are definitely separate; someone can be a villain with terrible goals but not actively try to be evil. For example, MCU Thanos does not see himself as the villain and does not want to cause unnecessary suffering. Is he mislead and demented? Yes. Is he evil for the sake of being evil? No.
