Yeah, I don't usually ship hero/villain either. I just don't generally like when hero/villain interactions are classified as 'abusive' because I think that kind of muddles the issue. "A and B are warring enemies; B is trying to destroy A," is a very different dynamic than, "A and B are friends/coworkers/lovers; B belittles A and physically violates them."

For me, a hero/villain pairing can turn their relationship around easier than a domestically abusive pairing can, because hero/villain starts from a place of active and apparent hostility. Usually, as they become more intimate they become kinder to each other. Whereas domestically abusive pairings tend to become more "toxic" as they become more intimate.

Oh absolutely. Like I'd say that some villain behaviors could constitute as abusive, but this doesn't apply across the board, it really depends on what exactly the bad-character is doing and why, because most of the time it's a person just being shitty. Which is still bad yes, but it's not abusive and they don't have to be for a character to be a bad person.

But fandom has really warped the meaning of that word in recent years and people now apply to any slight negative interaction between a pair of characters when that isn't how that works at all.

+10000 to all of this. I couldn't agree more. :)
