There's a character in my fandom who I really enjoy when he’s portrayed like the antagonist he is, but it feels like he’s always stuck in the middle of discourse, split between the people who love him to the point of softening his actions or painting him as a good person, and the people who hate him to the point of openly telling off others the fandom who create content focused on him.

Tangentially related, but people who co-opt social justice speak to paint all people who like/dislike a character or ship as wrong or misguided. Even worse when it results in tokenism (i.e. accusing all people who like that character or ship as being part of a specific group, or raising examples of minorities within groups as mouthpieces that legitimize liking that character or ship). It not only cheapens the language, but it also makes real issues a lot harder to find.

That first paragraph is so many characters for me. I love villains. I hate when people pretend they aren't villains. I also hate when canon tries to redeem them by pretending their evil wasn't really that evil. Redemption is great, but don't pretend what happened before never happened. Ugh.

Also very yes to the second paragraph.
