i may not know who ninety-five percent of these men are or have the same taste as most of you, but i can always respect a woman down bad for her favourite jpeg and being brave enough to outwardly sperg about them.
 
God willing, that divine burnt dick got me seeing the Spirit World. That post-nuclear Utah shit sending me to the Celestial Kingdom.

why are most of these characters villains/monsters/criminals?

Personally, I gravitate more towards this kind of character because they will usually be written with more depth and nuance than others, or with more interesting motives. A protagonist or hero character is usually very cookie cutter: Save the world, your friends, do good, etc., which gets boring in fiction pretty fast for me. A monster/villain/antagonist will get different themes explored, and more often that not those themes will be interesting, complex, dark, or relatable to some degree (no, not wanting to kill the world or something, but everyone feels a little bit like a monster every now and then)

But now I'm curious. For the other women here: what do you love about your pixelated husband?

Villains often have complex reasons for their villainy, and ironically are written to be more loyal to spouses/children than heroes. A proper villain doesn't just act as a foil to the hero, they're the reflection of what the hero could've been.

Short answer: Lots of women like bad boys.

Correction: we like bad boys who'll drive forth our enemies, see them kneel before us, and hear the lamentation of sex talk.

- In children's media, do-gooders are often soy because of concerned parents and now wokism
- In adult media, everyone's evil because muh moral complexity
- General moralfaggotry against the death penalty means only "villains" can protecc their beloved
- In vidya, you're the protagonist, the cool/powerful characters are villains, and "nicer" characters are sidekicks (not cool)
^ This is an underappreciated reason for why "romance options " in vidya suck. Love must be central to the story. Traditional romantic heroes don't save the kingdom and get the girl as an afterthought, they save the kingdom because they're in love with the girl. When I'm fucking with the fates of the world, the love interest must have an equally grand vision. But "options" are like a free(*see website for terms) pack of gum with your qualifying purchase.

Shadowlord from Nier:Replicant. He also has a badass theme song

Burnt Ivory King from Dark Souls 2. I think his boss fight is easily my favorite fight from DS series.
And while we're talking about DS2 anyway...

Aldia. I absolutely love every interaction with him, I wish he was more open to sharing his wisdom with us.

Nah I’m too boring for all that. A basic bad boy is typically enough to please me.

They also just tend to be physically more attractive than good-aligned characters more often than not.

I have a bit of an autistic thing going with viruses, probably because of Sigma. His half-baked ideas of evolution of Reploids combined with the reality of viruses guiding human evolution is wonderful to me.

That's not including "him big", obviously.

Question for da gorls: Is your taste in pixelated men different or similar to your real life preferences?

to answer mine: it's somewhat the same. But I'd rather be caught dead with an older guy, it's just not right and men that age shouldn't be into women my age.

edit: if I brought home a Mormon I would be the laughing stock of my family lol
