An Evil Mentor is a User that pretends to be a mentor that gives bad advise or plays tricks for the fun of it (but not maliciously). Usually, these users have the mentor badge, but colored red and flipped upside down. Although this is how you can tell someone is an evil mentor, not all evil mentors show this badge.
The origin is mostly unknown on how this meme became what it is now, but most sources point to the JP community when they made a similar badge but instead of a light bulb, it was a fist, and users were called "De-mentors".
Some things an evil mentor would do:
- Gives bad advice (or advice that would be opposite to what a regular mentor would say)
- Plays tricks or pranks for the fun of it, similar to how Imps are in folklore.
- Has many items and gadgets they use that can disrupt, mess with, or use to get attention.
