Not at all. Cruelty is often distasteful, but then so is asparagus. And I hear that stuff is downright good for you

Evil is necessarily immoral. Evil being a negatively-valued thing that is not moral (done for a reason other than fun).
Obviously... I disagree strongly with the D&D evil-good/lawful-chaotic organization

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
