If we go by your terms, then there possibly can not be either.

I'd use a metaphor, but I feared I would be deemed a bigot if I did. It isn't bigoted, but some people could interpret it that way.

 

I'll allow it. Just quote this post so all the other mods know I did.

Well, it isn't even a good metaphor. It is more of a comparison. Disregarding the metaphor, I think that in all actions that people do we do it to help or harm. But for every person we help, there is someone we harm. And for someone we harm, we help someone. For the thing you are doing to help someone, there is someone with opposite beliefs who might get offended. And vice versa.

So to be a hero in your standards, you must have the ability to please every person. But that is not possible since we all are different with different beliefs, morals, values, personalities, etc. And to be a villian, it is the same thing. One theoretical way though is to go to each individual person and do something to support or oppose their beliefs, morals, values, personalities, etc. But I doubt that is even possible since your actions will still be deemed inappropriate by some.

I hope that explains why there is no pure hero or pure villian.
