[P] Just as a footnote: Hey, look at that. I was just researching D&D and Gary Gygax did indeed create her as a sexist character. He decided he wanted to make an evil, chaotic female character that embodied negative female stereotypes to say "Suck it, feminists!" After feminists brought the heat, he doubled down and legitimised her in lore by giving her an official name. So, there you go, Tiamat was sexist-by-design. Called it.

[P] If I were a narcissist I'd call it an uncommon empathy, but I know that among neurodivergents it really isn't. I also know though that typies are so obsessed with their group-selves and hiverarchy that they never do, the passing seconds of performative sympathy aren't the same as the simulations that run within my mind, preoccupying me. I've learned that no typie could relate to this, it isn't their experience.

[P] And suddenly, oh shit, Nazi Germany makes a lot of sense. British Hitler, Nigel Farage, could easily run on a platform of "humanely euthanising" the "browns" who come in on small boats. There's something very, truly, and disturbingly wrong with the typie brain. There's so much evil throughout human history rhat suddenly makes a genuinely, aincerely terrifying sense when viewed through this lens of the group-self.

[P] The thing is is that a cynical neurodivergent author could have Literal Hitler as their "hero," with everyone singing worshipful oraise for tossing the orcs in gas chambers. And unironically, typies will take this at face value if this Literal Hitler is familiar and handsome according to group-self standards. I've seen it happen. I've seen typiss get really into a Literal Hitler, because group-self labels him "hero."

[P] I've been traumatised by typie authors whose "villain" is actually trying to help, saving lives, and selflessly puttng themselves in harm's way. Conversely, the "heroes" are bumbling patsies of a bigoted, authoritarian regims, who're responsible for abominations on the regular. Yet the typie author will have an unshakable conviction regarding who fills the roles of "heroes" and "villain." Atrocities don't matter.

[P] And...

How should a villain be dealt with?: Death or assimilation into the group self, either way nulling the identity of the villain. If they're lucky, the authoritarian regjme typie protagonists often represent might place them in cruel, oppressive imprisonment that drains their will to live—and this is if they're lucky.

This is how typies see the world, which i view as an objective evil founded in prejudice.

[P] This is why I've become jaded and cynical about what typies believes constitutes villainy, along with how a "villain" ought to be dealt with. And it runs so much deeper than Tolkien's mongol orcs.

What is a villain?: Any entity that's messurably unlike the group-self represented by the protagonists. Morality, situation, truth, and kindness vs. cruelty are all irrelevant. The only factor to define good is familiarity.
