Re: OP

Can't speak to the Kylo Ren aspect of your post, as I'm not in that fandom, but I agree with your overall argument here. There's also the fact that fiction is a safe way to show just how easy it is for these villains to lure their victims in. Sure, in real life, it's important to remind people of the dangers of certain groups or people, but in fiction, we get to explore why it's so easy for people to be sucked into that evil mindset or behavior. It can make for a good lesson for signs to watch out for when encountering these kinds of people in the real world, in some ways.

(For my character example of this sort, I'd use Norman Bates from "Bates Motel". In real life, sure, obviously, I'd run the other direction from somebody like him, because, well, dude's terrifying and dangerous. But I think the show's done a really good job of allowing us to sympathize with various aspects of Norman and his messed up life while still showing just how creepy he really is, and showing us how his seemingly polite demeanor is actually quite dangerous because of how easily he can use it to manipulate people and lure them into trusting him. That balance and deep exploration of his character makes him that much more fascinating, I think.)
