Discussion Anyone else always rooting for the villain in media?

[Skoga]

I find heroes and good endings boring. It's not realistic either. Irl even if you are a good person, good things don't happen to you automatically. The world is unfair, karma doesn't exist and people get away with murder and whatnot. So might aswell go full out and always root for the bad guys, atleast you wouldn't be lying to yourself thinking that you are gonna have a good ending aswell.

bad guys in media = straight White men. They always invert reality and make foids, ethnics, blacks, and troons the good guys while the White man is the devil

 

[PersonalityChad]

Yes, I've always rooted for and identified with the "bad guys" ever since I was a kid.

 

[PersonaPimp]

The villain is much more relatable in almost every franchise.

Not always but I do root for villains a decent bit since they tend to be more relatable.

 

[Allah (Real)]

they always make the villain have some good motivation then throw some huge curveball to force you to disagree with them. I always hated that

I always have. Villains usually have actual character development while faces are just the handsome guy.

most villains are written to be braindead stepping stones so no.

I was rooting for the penguin all of the movie until the end, that became to much. But i really enjoy villains, it's easier to relate to them
