I've decided to go down the "vast majority of fictional villains are male, and mostly unattractive," rabbithole a bit today, and it didn't take much time for me to find this gem .

Not a single female character was an antagonist, only men were antagonists, and those people still had no problem turning it into a muh soggy kneestic thing that needs to be changed because it is harming women, completely sidestepping the elephant in the room that what those movies are subliminally saying is that womencan be protagonists, side characters or background characters, as men can be, they can be good or neutral just like men can be, but they can never be evil or villainous. Only men can be that.
So, what did they find?
Predictable.
This study's also surprisingly blackpilled, they flat out admit that feminism doesn't seem to be working too much for men and that there are a lot of non-traditional, strong female characters, but there are much fewer non-traditional male characters who aren't just brave tough guys but also showing some emotions and so on.
Liberalism for me, traditionalism for thee.
Female characters can be whatever they (well, the author) wants, male characters can only be tough Chads to serve as love interests and some bad guys to defeat.

This inspired a study which looked at four Palestinian stories which all had all-male Israeli soldiers as antagonists.

And finally, the actually first study I found during this little rabbithole descend of mine today, also a Spanish one but one from this year, very recent, I tried to find scans on Sci-Hub and elsewhere but there seems to be nothing, this one looked at gender and attractiveness, with predictable results.

A total of 48.5% of characters were protagonists. Only 9.2% were antagonists, none of whom were female; this was the only statistically significant gender difference in prevalence within these categories.
For fucks' sake.Only one third of characters were female, just over half of whom were protagonists, and none were antagonists. This means that children watching these films are predominantly seeing both the “good guys” and “bad guys” as just that—males (Hoerrner, 1996). This might lead children to believe that women are less important than men, and to be more likely to select male characters as role models (Aubrey & Harrison, 2004).

Blackpilled.This study conducted a content analysis of 130 characters from 24 recent popular animated children’s films and examined the associations between physical appearance, personality, and social attributes by gender. We found that physical attractiveness was associated with having more friends and receiving more affection among male characters, and negatively associated with weight status among females.

For those of you who don't know, as I didn't until today, Newbery Medal is basically something like a Nobel Prize but for American children's literature.This study analyzes how 12 recent (2000-2011) Newbery Medal-winning books represent gender. The study counts how many of the books’ characters represent progressive or traditional gender roles, how many male and female characters represent each character category (protagonist, antagonist, major, and minor), how many strong female characters are accepted or rejected by their peers, how many characters hold stereotypical gender beliefs about themselves or their peers, and how many works contain balanced feminist perspectives.
So, what did they find?
Predictable.

A Spanish study where the translations didn't work out well, though it's clear what they wanted to say.
In relation to the gender of the protagonist, the study revealed that 78.57% of the series had one male protagonist, while 49.4% had a female protagonist. Regarding the antagonists, 37.5% of the series had male protagonists while only 16.07% had female protagonists.

Over for gingercels. Really wish I had access to that entire study, I really want to see what the actual breakdown between "attractive antagonists... that conceal an inner malevolence" and the "traditional prototype" types is.This article examines the bodies of antagonists in Spanish award-winning children’s and young adult novels between 2018 and 2020. Qualitative analysis using software was used to categorise antagonists’ physical descriptions and identify common types and characteristics. There are attractive antagonists with pleasant physical appearances that conceal an inner malevolence, while others adhere more closely to the traditional prototype with physically unattractive features beyond normative standards of beauty. The predominance of male bodies as antagonists is highlighted, reflecting cultural stereotypes of violence and aggression associated with masculinity. In addition, common features such as reddish hair, facial hair, a penetrating gaze, and a smile that anticipates malice are observed. Although expected features such as androidisation are not evident, the analysis shows how cultural processes of physical normalisation are either reinforced or challenged.
