@PublishersWkly @BookRiot * Women being considered villains just because they reject the hero romantically or don't like the heroine
* Feminist characters being villains by default

[Rachael Eyre @Alrightpunk]

@PublishersWkly @BookRiot Other problematic villainy tropes are:

* Being LGBT
* Tragic backstories - yes, it might humanise the villain, but it carries the implication that anyone who has been raped/abused/traumatised is destined to become a monster
* Childless/childfree people being evil
