In the film Despicable Me the protagonist is an ugly short, bald, and highly sexually dimorphic villain. He has an army of evil minions consisting of Dr. Nefarious an ugly and fat genius and a group of short bald humanoids known as the "Minions".
All of these villains are male characters and they're all ugly.
Despite the fact that we're made to empathise with the villains later in the film this is only done through jestermaxxing.
The film almost explicitly says that ugly people are meant to be evil or that evil people are ugly. This is how we're depicted in the media.
Minions might be a stand-in for Ricecels, they're all short and yellow and speak "a foreign language". They also have "strange eyes".
