Looking at the thread linked by Mega, to be honest it almost seems like that thread was a bunch of humour around the topic - it read as quite funny, actually. So I'm not sure that really demonstrates all that much from me - so I kind of think it weird to bring up? Especially if one is trying to make a point with it. It also feels like talking down when you need to come in and tell people the different stages of disagreement.
Other than that I'm not really going to get too much into this thread itself, beyond saying that a villain story where the end is usually predetermined to be execution via the intense and dramatic hostility of the character's actions is hard to truly get into for the plot itself - it's usually better for the accolades and chance to shine for defeating the big bad then anything else, at least to me.
This is the same for moral villains with reasoning for their actions - it's hard to truly feel the impact when they turn up and bring these moral problems with them, ones that could use more build up, etc - it's hard to sympathise and see how they were driven to this if the problem starts existing with them.
It's hard not to see it in black and white when the problem seems to begin when they do, and end when they do.
