Good Demons and Inuyasha?

Question about Demons in general and Inuyasha, most are bad but some are good right? Inuyasha's father wasn't a bad demon, Shippo isn't bad. The show says Inuyasha gets his goodness from being half human. But humans can be bad too. I think he's good because thats the way he was raised with love and kindness from his mother.

Just because their called demons doesn't mean their evil not all.

Orcas are the best.

"Demon" is a fairly loose translation of the Japanese term "youkai," which isn't quite the same concept - youkai aren't inherently evil, although they're often tricksters. So yes, as we see in the series, there are definitely some good demons, including Shippo, Inuyasha's father, Kirara, Totosai, Housenki, Jinenji and Shiori's fathers, and others.
