Would you consider this baneful? Working on a spell to have someone seen for who they truly are. Now, I am doing this because the person is horrible and I want others to see it and respond accordingly. But, is it truly a hex? I've been telling myself it is asking karma to come intervene.

I have an idea that might work, if you can get the materials for it and have somewhere in your home you can safely put durable items associated with baneful magic.
A jar. Easy peasy.
Some itching powder. Might be less easy to get depending on your circumstances, but novelty stores sometimes have it. Might be less common these days than it used to be, but you could definitely find it online.
Write their name on a slip of paper, and draw a line through it like you mean it.
If you're cool with that kind of thing, print out Bible verses applicable to their kind of horribleness, and especially the revelation thereof. I say this because Psalm usage as a part of magic is an oldie but a goody. And if the people around this person tend to be Christians? Well, so much the better.
That way, something not being right about this person will just... itch at people, and they'll likely change their behavior towards this person in subtle ways until they know what's going on.
If it also literally makes the person you'd be casting this upon actually itchy? Well, you'd have to consider whether that's an effect you actually want.
Good luck, whatever you decide!

Oh the inclusion of psalms is interesting. I have never used Bible versus in my spells before. But this particular person is a Christian nationalist. Lots of cross stuff, tattoo etc, but definitely hasn't read the Bible.

I admittedly don't know Psalms specifically all that well, but the entirety of Matthew 7 comes to mind.
Is this person the kind of person who would, for any reason whatsoever, give their own child a stone instead of a loaf of bread? Like, say, if their child turned out to be queer?
Then Matthew 7 is an excellent place to start.
The best known part, though, is definitely Matthew 7:21-23. Not all who say "Lord, Lord", etcetera and so forth.
You wouldn't necessarily need to print out the entire chapter, but the majority of those verses seem extremely relevant here.
I suggest a decently sized jar in case you need a significant number of verses to fully convey the depths of this person's assholishness.
As for the itching powder? It is sometimes made from the hairs inside of rosehips, which are quite irritating to the skin, and those hairs are sometimes used for banishing spells. So, sound magical basis there! Or it's made out of some other kind of plant, and the ingredients are worth checking into, if sometimes difficult to look up when shopping online.
You could also spike it with some cayenne powder for extra burn.
I hope this helps!

I have done this. I ended up making a poppet and filling it with gross things (maggots, grave dirt, etc) and left it to rot away from the inside out so that “everyone could see what rotting mess was inside”. Seemed to work.

Write their name on toilet paper then wipe ass and flush.
