I'm skeptical just because there are loads of times when someone says "Ah, yes, we're just talking about the motive" but does so in a way that absolutely minimizes the misdeed in question and excuses it and justifies it. It happens all the time. Even people who would say they're reasonable - you know, saying you're reasonable is no proof of anything.

That's absolutely true, and not only that but that type of talk very quickly can turn to "And this is what the villain's victim's might have done to cause it..." or "And by the way, consider that the Hero did this bad thing..." which both aggressively toe the line of straight victim-blaming. It's really hard to find an analysis of the villain that successfully and sympathetically replicates their worldview without in some way attempting to validate it. It's frustrating.

Also let's be real, most villain backstories are a product of tacked-on, hackneyed, cornball garbage writing anyway. I get very tired watching people fall for the same pathetic attempts at depth. Before you put this murderer in jail, consider that he was.......... AN ORPHAN. Not so easy now is it?????

My question is, why do you care if fans are minimizing the misdeeds of fictional villains? If they're not forcing their views on you what does it even matter?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, man, it's not a mortal sin or anything. It's an opinion that I disagree with in the context of dumb arguments about fictional characters which I find absorbing and fun. Isn't that why we're all here?

Oftentimes they ARE trying to force their views on you, or at least accusing you of not seeing the "nuance" if you absolutely do not agree with the minimalist look at their crimes, or feel that their victims are somehow more responsible for those crimes.
