In fact it makes you worse since you're not able to point out the flaws in your favs 11:57 AM 28 Sep 2019 7 Likes 2 27 ♡ 7 2018 2019 2020 About this capture kathy ♥♥@vinegarsdoppio 11m People often say that it's okay to stan villains who do vile and despicable things as long as you don't condone their actions. You obviously do if you support them, there is no way you can support cruelty and yet be against it at the same time, pick a struggle please 27 ♡ 2 kathy @vinegarsdoppio 11m Stans of characters like Joker, Endeavor, Hisoka, and Oikawa are some of the worst people I've encountered on this platform. Not only do they represent hate and problematic ideologies but they are often rude and love parading their love for stanning problematic characters 1 22 ♡ 2 kathy♥ @vinegarsdoppio 11m You get no cool points for stanning m*rderers, r*pists, antagonists, war cr*minals! By promoting this type of behavior you're basically saying it's totally fine for people irl to behave this way. Fictional or not they are bad and fiction often shapes reality. 1 22 2 kathy @vinegarsdoppio 11m If you can relate to a villain in any way please stay away from me or the public in general. Condoning actions of crude people is a warning sign of you being a potential threat or possibly dangerous 22 2

About

Oikawa Villain refers to a viral tweet about the Most Overrated Villains In Manga in which the Haikyuu!! anime and manga character was put alongside villains that had done atrocities perceived as much worse than Oikawa's rivalry with the volleyball team of the sports manga. The 2022 post inspired a series of memes about the villain on X (Twitter) and TikTok over the following year.

Origin

On January 27th, 2022, X^[1] user @wensaki uploaded a collage featuring a series of notable manga villains like Meruem from Hunter x Hunter, Makima from Chainsaw Man and Oikawa from the Haikyuu!! sports manga. The post (shown below) amassed over 750 likes and 3,900 quotes in a year, most of them sarcastically trying to prove that the sports manga villain is as bad as the other in the collage.
