Villains who are conventionally hot but are so vile/pathetic that you have to hate them

  1. The Deep from the Boys and the actor playing him; Chace Crawford is genuinely extremely handsome yet his actor manages to play his character in such a pathetically idiotic way that you can’t help but look at the deep as anything but the biggest chud to ever walk the earth

  2. Helem from Centuria is definitely beautiful and dresses herself in clothing to make herself sexy but all of it is undercut by her extremely disgusting behavior, being an abusive, sociopathic, and narcissistic necrophile who is currently responsible for enabling most of the protagonist’s problems being orchestrated against him.

  3. Asmodeus from Make the Exorcist Fall in Love is literally created as the ideal attractive figure to lust over as is her nature as the demon lord of lust, but all of her charm is merely surface level as her utterly repulsive personality shows her being a pedophile and a rapist whose completely remorseless in any of her vile actions.

Subtext is for cowards

Media that decide to throw away subtlety and just beat you in the head with a hammer to criticize real world problems

  1. The Boys

Say what you will about the show’s writing but the boys has never shied away from criticizing corporate capitalism and showing just how stupidly incompetent right-wing ideology really is. The fact that nearly every satirical parody the boys makes in making fun of the American government ends up becoming a reality just shows how warped everything has become.

  1. Pluto from Naoki Urasawa

Naoki is one of the few mangakas that properly address the ugly brutality of war and genocide and they become an integral aspect in the moral messaging of all his stories. The conflict incited in Pluto is very similar to ongoing genocides happening irl which is made apparent through Naoki himself who is an outspoken pro-Palestinian.

  1. Make the Exorcist Fall in Love

One of MTEFIL’s core themes is the divide and inequality of gender and how women especially in religion, politics, institutions, and society are inherently objectified and abused. The most recent ongoing arc is literally about an immortal witch succumbing to her own hate and misery inflicted by men and how the whole world suffers due to such needless suffering brought about by evil
