Really? Not the OP, but I've seen a lot of that. The "I like him because he's not REALLY evil" fans are the easiest to criticize, but plenty of people seem to genuinely believe there's a right way to enjoy media, and it involves identifying with the heroes, and wanting the villain to get thoroughly smacked down. They can be very dogmatic about insisting that villain fans are doin' it wrong. They equate liking a character with approving of everything that character does, I think. And they seem more capable of understanding what the woobie-fen are doing (misinterpreting a bad guy as the secret hero of the story) than what villain fans do (enjoy the character with all their faults, and not despite them). But the "Loki isn't a good guy" argument is couched in a bigger value judgment that you should only like good guys.

I'm the anon that started this thread and this is exactly what I'm talking about. You've worded it much better than I ever could.

They're linked to the people who say "Why can't they just kill the ~hugely popular~ villain? I want a new villain every episode, I'm bored of this one. They're only keeping him on for the fangirls."


As if Moriarty and the Joker had never happened and all villains were interchangeable blobs for the Identifiable Heroes to defeat.
