@Seitsuki
Moga forced unwilling people into depravity, dooming them to eternal suffering. Any and all argument ends right there.
You're trying to justify something that cannot be justified.
Hitler can't send people to hell. Moga did exactly that. To countless people. He is worse.
The author is definitely not justifying his actions, so you're probably gonna get even more upset if you continue with this hard-on for Mogadick.

No, the term depravity (actually it's a fictional fantasy word in the original Japanese, daten, which is a different spelling of fallen, spelt to mean fallen and turned) is not a real-life status. It's kinda lost in the translation, but it's an actual mystical, magical form of turning evil. It is the "Dark side of the Force". It's not something that can normally happen to anyone suffering, it is a specific, mystical state of depravity.
Being depressed can create black rukh with the help of Al Sarmen and the dark Magi, Judal. But it is not a normal, natural state.
A simple despair of mortal kind does not cause one to fall into depravity, otherwise the slum residents of Balbaad would have been condemned to hell already.
Suffering alone does not cause depravity, it is a state of mind, becoming the embodiment of hate itself (by hating the world and his/her fate)
Like I said, it's a translation loss - it is in fact, a state of mystical qualities. An eternal condemnation of the soul.
Which is why it required sorcery to create the dark farms.

Yeah, the few Goi who were NOT thrown into the fifth district.
