Frieren is so good when you don't have some racist prick in your ear screaming about how demons are libs and minorities

Far be it from me agreeing with a Twitter fash poster, but i do miss villains who might have had a good point, but who also were really enjoying being villains. There's fun in watching a joyful villain, and it's even more fun to watch them fall, too.
Same. Especially since "complicated" villains is usually just an excuse to do the swerve.
And even when it's not the swerve, it's something like making some incoherent and aimlessly aggrieved victim who's just lashing out because of how they'd been victimized. Like not even doing some cycle of abuse commentary thing, just a character aimlessly out for revenge and it's bad because victims shouldn't stand up for themselves or seek any sort of redress because that's a villain thing, they should just be special good boys and redeem enough good boy points for a bandaid for their arterial wounds instead.
When real villains are the ones with power, who want more power or who want to cling to what power they have or who are just abusive predatory scumbags. They're not victims getting back at society, they're bullies trying to assert dominance or get their kicks by hurting others.
