You know, I realize that zombies are evil and all, but if I was brought back to life against my will, I'd probably try to live. That's the screwed up part of the whole business. They are undead and therefore inherently labeled evil. Creation is not necessarily inherently good or evil. Our decisions define us.

Now I'm not saying Sylvanas isn't evil, she has crossed the line even with me, but she is not so far gone that there is no hope. The Forsaken Curse is not what corrupts. She was raised by the Lich King, but even she understood his evil and fought against it.

What makes her evil is her decision to kill the living regardless of race or allegiance. What makes her evil is her decision to raise them as undead even before the corpse is cold against their will. What makes her evil is whatever she is using to compel loyalty before they have had time to figure out what's going on. Being Forsaken is not evil. Forsaking morality is.
