Sebastien didn't go around toying with his victims. Sebastien didn't go around stalking people, working them into a panic, selecting his victims in order to cause panic and chaos. He didn't go around messing with peoples' emotions or mental wellbeing. Do you honestly think Sebastien killed the barkeeper's son to cause him emotional trauma? No. He killed that child because he happened to be there at the time. There were no patterns to his killing. He just killed for fun. Whoever was in his way was killed. It's as simple as that. Sebastien was a killer, plain and simple.

The Nogitsune, however, used every trick in the book. He made Stiles & Noah & Scott believe that Stiles had Claudia's type of dementia. The Nogitsune used Oliver to put Malia in harm's way so that Stiles would give in and let him (the Nogitsune) gain control. The Nogitsune then proceeded to pretend to be Stiles and manipulated events so that Scott would absorb pain from numerous people, then turned around and stabbed Scott with a sword and fed off of that.

The Nogitsune trapped Lydia in Oak Creek and messed with her, and when asked why he was doing it, he basically said he was doing it because he was hungry. The Nogitsune actively tries to mess with your mental state. Why do you think he didn't go around just murdering everyone? He feeds off of chaos, pain & strife. He can't eat if all he's doing is murdering everyone. He killed people, sure, but his kills were for the sake of causing more emotional pain and causing chaos. I think he does get what you guys are saying. He knows that the Nogitsune's sole purpose wasn't just to kill but he's saying that Sebastien caused chaos, pain, and strife to the people still alive, because of his notoriety.

How nerve-wrecking would it be to try to sleep at night in a small village, knowing that at any moment, you can die? How horrifying is the sight of dozens of ripped and bloodied dead bodies flashing in your nightmares, the moment you finally get rest? How much anxiety would you have waking up in the morning, desperate to see that your loved ones are still alive. How tortured would you feel having to go to a funeral every day? And for those sworn to protect their communities, how guilty do they feel trying to assure their people safety? To fight a beast every night that you know you can't kill is a classic case of insanity. They only have two choices: to commit suicide in a viscious death or to stay in hiding as cowards, only stalling their fate.

This is what Sean is trying to express. Yes, Sebastien is a kill-first type of villain, but he does it because he wants to be the most feared beast of all time. He wants to be in the history books as the worst of them all -- The Beast of Gevaudan. If he killed a bunch of people and nobody gave a shit, do you think he'd still think it's "funsies"? I doubt it. He wants the living to shake at the thought of his name. That still counts as chaos, pain, and strife too, just with more body counts.
