Reply to comment by Truth_ in Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind: worth the read? by Sacred-Moose

Yes. The antagonist kidnaps a child and he has to warn his subordinate that the child is off-limit. Said subordinate is known to rape and murder little boys, in that order.

People like this exist in our world, no one can write about them?

Not sure how you got that from my comment.

Your reply was in support of "cliche" stories, like one of the characters being a pedo.

You went to agree and explain in depth the character in question.

Thus you agreeing with the fact that a cliche pedophile character is redundant, i was just clarifying your intent, do you agree that such characters should not be written solely by the basis of their pedophilic cliche characterization.

I don't need pedophilia in my books, regardless of how the real world operates.

Additionally, cliches are boring. And over-the-top mustache-twirling one-sided bad guys are generally pretty uninteresting.

Still not sure how you got any of that from my comment. I agreed he was a pedophile, and clarified he's a murderer too.
