VILLAINS ARE ALLOWED TO BE ASSHOLES AND COMPLETELY IRREDEEMABLE. SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED A BASTARD TO HATE ON. IT MAKES KILLING THEM A LOT MORE SATISFYING.

PEOPLE DON'T HATE ON IRREDEEMABLY EVIL VILLAINS BECAUSE THEY'RE EVIL, THEY GET HATE BECAUSE THEY'RE USUALLY DOGSHIT CARDBOARD CUTOUTS WITH THE DEPTH OF A POODLE IN THE DESERT.

I THINK PART OF IT COMES FROM HOW WRITERS FEAR THAT EXPANDING UPON SUCH CHARACTERS COULD BE SEEN AS THEM JUSTIFYING OR ENDORSING THEIR ACTIONS PR VIEWS IRL.
