#but it’s a super common pitfall to just assign an antagonist ‘oh they suck so they also hate autistic people!’ or smth instead of like

Constantly thinking about a conversation me and a buddy had about how people in the modern era always end up making or Headcanoning villains as homophobic or just general bigots...
#No bc I think it’s a very interesting phenomenon
#our conversation came down to how people are honestly unable to comprehend a person is horrible unless they’re a bigot
#the example we were talking about is how so many ppl headcanon William Afton furnaff was homophobic to make him like. worse
#when like. he’s already a kiddy murderer. I don’t think he can get any worse than that? he kills kids and is an abusive father
#no need for him to also be a bigot but yet it’s a popular headcanon
#and my pal said it’s bc a lot of ppl are unable to comprehend villains who are complex and have complex opinions/world views
#and tbh YEAH!!! I think it’s really common for us to see villains or just people we don’t like as. unable to be like us
#if a person sucks then we cannot have anything in common with them. when that isn’t the case
#not everyone person who’s a piece of shit is a bigot. it’s common sure but not every villain is gonna be openly racist or transphobic
#if anything a villain who has the same world views as the heroes/protags/audience makes them more complex!!
#because it can show that anyone who is considered ‘a good person’ can actually be a pos despite their views or show how a person can fall to
#-the dark side lol
#and yeah obviously in certain cases a villain being a bigot makes sense and works story wise
#I know I have quite a few antagonists who are bigots
#but it’s a super common pitfall to just assign an antagonist ‘oh they suck so they also hate autistic people!’ or smth instead of like
#just letting their horrible actions show how they’re a horrible person
#I promise if a serial killer is a serial killer then like. yeah THEYRE horrible. and if you can only see them as horrible if they’re a bigot
#then uh. I don’t know what to say to that!!!!!!
#also going back to the complex point I know it’s common for people to not comprehend when a character does something bad and is considered b
#-ad in the story unless it is EXPLICITLY spelled out! and I think the bigot stuff ties into that
#ppl refuse to be like ‘ohhh this is a villain!’ unless the guy drops a bunch of slurs lol
#once again depending on the story a bigoted villain makes sense and I have several bigot Ocs
#but sometimes. bad people are progressive. or just aren’t homophobic. sometimes they have the same views as us
#and sometimes... that makes them scarier and better written.
#IDFK why I shared this rant here I just thought it was interesting and also this is a site where ppl make every villain in media
#-homophobic soooo-
