User blog:Argulor/Should species really determine whether a character is a villian or not?

This is a wiki policy that I'm incredibly frustrated by. It seems unfairly biased to just assume that a character is a villain based on their species. For example, the Crow Brethren are listed as villains on this wiki, despite the fact that they never harmed anyone who didn't deserve it, and didn't do anything without being provoked. It seemed to me that the death of the entire flock was intended to be taken sadly. While not straight up good characters, the way they suddenly perish is pretty depressing and not something the death of a group of villains would likely be written as.

I don't have very many other good examples of characters who I feel fit this, but it just seems like the wrong decision. I understand that it's seen as Wiki policy and I respect that, but it's clear that there are shades of grey in the Redwall series, so I feel it would make sense.
