It probably depends on your religion (or lack thereof), ethics, morale,
culture and so on if you see a cartoon devil as good or bad. There is
impossible to classify it as bad as a fact. That would be to impose your
own standards onto others.

You can't just classify people as bad if they like "the devil". That would
be imposing your own religion, ethics, morale and culture upon them.

As a side note, corporations spend hundreds of millions of dollars in
finding a symbole that is PC in every country on this planet. Still the PR
firm they hired still often fails as there probably is one little nation
state somewhere where even a blue-eyed angle-faced baby isn't PC.
