Jury Duty and the Peace Talks
Mira:
--- Quote ---The exceptions are simply not apliccable on a large enough scale but they do point to the white court being evil.

But is it the feeding by the Hunger Demon that makes them evil or their lust for power in general?
Back to Thomas as a hair stylist, Evanna just didn't say he was a great lover, she called him an artistof love making, none of that if controlled can be called evil. In general we've thought, and Harry has thought that there is nothing evil about Thomas, but then there is that moment on the beach.

--- Quote ---Suddenly he looked less like a human being and more like something carved out of marble. Angry, angry marble. I felt my shoulders tense up in the presence of a creature I knew was genuinely dangerous.

When has Harry ever called his brother a "creature"? That is a dehumanizing label, perhaps it
was that vision of Thomas that allowed Harry carry out the imprisonment of Thomas on Demonreach?
But back to the White Court in general, if they quietly went about their feeding, not killing or really hurting anyone, they might not be considered evil. However it is their lust for power and dominance over others that is evil. So is that the Hunger Demon or the human host that is evil?
ClintACK:
There are lots of people with a lust for power and dominance over others. We would not call them good people, but we don't round them up for slaughter either.
The big red flag with the White Court is going to be their mind-control and manipulation magic. That's pretty terrifying, and gets two out of the seven laws of magic for a reason.
Arjan:
And they eat your life. Literally. That is a terrifying concept.

Especially since you die with a smile on your face.. Oh crazy thought just entered my head... Malcolm, a healthy man, widowed, trying to raise his young son.. As a healthy man, Malcolm would have "needs and drives" like any other healthy man.. If he dated, could a White Court Vamp have killed him? I mean how does life force drained by pleasure during sex read in an autopsy? There
wouldn't be anything physical, would there? The rumor is he died of an aneurysm, that is a natural cause, but Chauncy said he was murdered. Well, Malcolm could have been murdered by a White Court Vamp, and though it is said it was an aneurysm, has anyone actually read the autopsy? Or was one actually done?

Nope, see the beginning of WN... there is no medically apparent cause of death for a WC victim, at least for a Raith. (Skavis are likely suicides, and Malvora, maybe a heart attack?)
