Evil is a very strong word.

Yes, it's why I chose it.
It’s not that strong. Evil isn’t just genocide. It would be evil of me to go around leaving trays full of beer outside just to drown slugs in them. It would be evil of me to shove razors into candy apples and hand them out at Halloween.

Not all evil has to be some grand world-level conspiracy and it can still be evil.

Apples on Halloween are evil enough without the razor blades

Not as evil and Mary Janes. Or five pennies tied up in string.
