This. This also applies when discussing the villains. Yes there may be reasons for why they turned out the way they did and do the things they do but at the end of the day, they are still the villain. For example Zenos is a product of his upbringing and environment. He was neglected, mistreated and moulded into what he became. Knowing the history of why he is the way he is such as his anhedonia, his childhood neglect and what lead to his disconnect from a world that he never understood and never tried to understand him. But for some reason some people really don’t like it when you point out that it doesn’t absolve him of all the bad things he did. I love him. He’s one of my favourite characters in any media. I think the msq did him a profound disservice in some areas and that they fumbled many aspects of the potential in him. Still a bad person. Irredeemable? We’ll never know. Did the right thing in the end? Yes. But still a villain. Still murdered people. Still destroyed nation because he was being selfish. And that is ok. It’s ok to enjoy the villain. It is ok to find their depth and motivations more interesting than the hero. It’s not a reflection on you as a person. It doesn’t mean you agree with them. But some people don’t like that for some reason. And I only use Zenos as an example as he’s the character I know most intimately. But it can apply to many. Emet-Selch, Silco, Zuko and so on. Great characters. Bad people. And that’s ok.
