It's water wet thread but still, if blackpill doesn't exist, why almost any bad, evil or negative person in movies, books and fairytales is ugly?
All heroes are almost always healthy, strong and handsome while vile and wicked protagonists are almost always ugly/repulsive looking.Water indeed, but not nearly as often brought up as it should be. I legitimately don't think I've ever seen a work of fiction where either all the bad guys are good looking and the good guys bad looking, or just in aggregate the good guys/protagonists are uglier than the antagonists.

But it has nothing to do with human perception of reality. It's just so happens.
The best ones are where you have a series that explicitly has grey morality, everyone is at least somewhat flawed in it, nobody is purely good... And it just so happens that the more attractive villains are the ones simped for in and out-of-universe, or the attractive villains just so happen to be exceptions while attractive heroes are still more common. Like in ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, where the Lannisters are almost all gorgeous, and they just so happen to be major POV characters and some of the most sympathetic antagonists, when they even are antagonists to the other POV characters, while the Freys are despised and just so happen to be a house whose members are explicitly described as almost all ugly, while Ramsay Bolton is probably the most sadistic villain in the series, and just so happens to be rather ugly in the books.Honestly I have seen some works of fiction where the villans are good looking.
It also just so happens that the fan bases of those works of fiction try to justify their actions and or simp over the villan lol
