One of the most important things about queer folk aligning with villains is that we often never get the full story of the villain.
And often, when we do, we find them sympathetic, usually due to their story only being villainous if you are writing from a cultural majority perspective.
While a lot of these characters do end up doing some very heinous things, we empathise with them more due to understanding the pressures that were put on them. In a different world, they could have been an asset, but now they are antithetical to straight/cis culture. We were taught that to deviate was evil, but so many popular villains would probably be less evil if not forced into corners.

reposted to be boostable: child rearing and how society treats afab people
I do think there’s a lot of issues with parenthood as it stands. Society tells afab people as soon as they understand words that they are going to be mothers, that they have to, that they’re bad people if they don’t, like they’re missing their calling or something. It’s indoctrination. Not to mention how miserable child rearing is, and how afab people are expected to give their life away to creating and caring for things they’re not even sure they want, it’s just what they’re supposed to do. Thinking about it makes me sick. Seeing miserable, tired mothers next to screaming children every day makes me mad, thinking about all the people who would be so much happier if they hadn’t grown up in a society that made them feel like they had no choice other than this lifestyle. And on top of that, all the children that suffer because the parents didn’t know or care what they were getting into.
I don’t think that having children is inherently bad, I just think the culture around it needs to drastically change
