Normally, female villains are held to much higher moral standards than their male counterparts. A villainous dude can get away with a lot and still be regarded as entertaining, but ladies tend to have a much lower “we hate you, please die” threshold among the fandom.
And then there’s these assholes:
It’s just universally agreed that they’re horrible, disgusting, thoroughly toxic people… and we love them for it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a deliberately unsympathetic female villain - let alone two of them - pull off that kind of fan reaction before.
For those who are messaging me to say “hey, Peridot isn’t that bad, she’s just doing her job”, I want you to bear in mind that:
a. “Her job” involves the annihilation of all life on Earth, and
b. Her immediate reaction to being presented with an unarmed child making a friendly overture is ATTEMPTED MURDER.
