Think of them as an especially strong form of magic, I suppose. The key part is that they typically either torture the wielder to death or drive them to insanity.
I wouldn't say it's inevitable. You primarily lose control if you give into the temptation for power, or to despair and hate. [i have no intention of doing so. i have no interest in those things.] But it doesn't entirely matter, when how society perceives you is equally important.
Let me guess. People with powers are treated poorly because the powers are supposedly the taint of the world? [he doesn't sound thrilled about that, actually.]
No different than how people see our friends back home. Even when they were doing good and fighting for our side, a lot of people only saw them as bad. I'm still not sure how people will see them now.
Yeah. Our friends shouldn't be to blame for the corrupted Digimon that ruined everything. Now that the battle's over, I've been thinking about trying to find a way to prove that. But I don't know.

More that people aren't keen on taking chances with walking time bombs.

In any case, that's why it was critical to remove the source of corruption first. People's perceptions will never change until that's dealt with.

Changing people's beliefs is a far harder task than something like fighting a god. But, sometimes, it's equally necessary to step up.
