A thread on why liking a villian doesnt mean you condone their actions(aka being a apologist for them.) This will not go into the apologist debate over c!dream, c!quackity, vilbur, etc.etc.

The reason fandoms always seem to love villains, is because the villains do and/or represent things that they would want to see, but not necessarily want to experience irl. This is why people like horror games and movies, its things that are dangerous in a controled environment+

+so that they can experience it but not be actually hurt. This plays into how liking a character does not mean you are a apologist for them,(aka condone their actions.) You can know a character is shit, but you dont think the actions they do+

+are okay. You can find a villian interesting(partly for backstory, arcs, and all that, and partly because of the reasons I have already listed), but know the actions they do are very very bad. I am sick and tired of people thinking that people condone c!dreams actions+

+when they just enjoy his character. now of course there ARE c!dream apologists, but I& #39;m not getting into that today. This thread isnt to be rude or mean, just to point out something in fan culture (mostly dsmp.)
