"Every villain is the hero of their own story" is true as far as it goes. But this does *not* mean, "Every villain needs to have sympathetic, relatable motivations."

The real world is full of people who just want to dominate, hurt and ruin others. They're the "heroes" in an ugly, terrible story.

@charliejane One thing I'm getting from watching true crime stuff is that most murderers seem to be narcissists who think their crimes are justified because any resistance to their abuse is actually an attack.

They are each the hero of their own very warped life story.

@charliejane The sort of people who just want to dominate, hurt, and ruin others fully believe they have the right to and no one has the right to stop them.
