We grew out of basic boring characters that were thoroughly good or evil and got interesting nuanced characters where they're still definitely evil (in this case) but at least you can understand why, and then I've noticed some people can't cope with that and are having tantrums and demanding that creators "be held accountable" because clearly they must also be terrible horrible evil people if they created a character like this XD
recent experience of sibling dearest showing me screenies of people pitching fits because she created a terrible character that was specifically designed to be a terrible character, it was quite funny
