Debated Validations

 * Even though what happened to William was awful since he lost his youngest son that he deeply cared about, by the hands of his other son, it is questionable if it justifies his actions.

What Makes Him Close To Being Pure Evil?

 * William was abusive toward Michael both before and after he accidentally killed Joseph, even becoming willing to kill him. However, he only didn't kill him because he was afraid and knew that he would be caught if he did so.
 * William viewed Michael as a failure and a terrible kid not worth his time.
 * He slaughtered five children to let out his anger over losing his son, Joseph, and stuffed their corpses in the animatronics. He did this because he didn't think he would be caught, unlike if he were to kill Michael at the time. He even admitted that he believed the children deserved it simply because they were like Michael.
 * He decided to destroy the animatronics that contained the bodies and spirits of the children he murdered after several years.
 * After becoming Springtrap, he was actually willing to kill his son, Michael, even attempting to do so.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Evil?

 * He still cared about his son Joseph, even after his death. It should also be noted that Joseph's death was the main reason why William became the villain we see throughout the series. William also hopes that God is treating Joseph better than himself and is sadenned when mentioning Joseph's death.
 * He could arguably be affable at times.

Trivia

 * If William hadn't cared for Joseph, he would have most likely ended up being exactly like his original counterpart and possibly be Pure Evil.
 * He is the only villain in the series to be considered Near Pure Evil.
