Does anyone outside the canon ever pay attention to those "X VILLAIN is actually a TERRIBLE PERSON. HE KILLED MY WIFE/DOG/MURDERED EVERYONE" posts that heroes always make when they realize x villain has either apped or has been there the whole time and the hero either just apped in or just noticed.

I know people bitch about it, but I play villains a lot and it happens to me in almost every game and I've very rarely had any drama come out of it, because most people just don't care.

The twist here is I honestly wouldn't mind drama so long as it's reasonable and not everyone and their dog raining hell on them without warning. A person with close CR to the hero wanting to confront them? Sure. Someone who has been close to MY character wanting to know if it's true or not? Awesome. Hell, I'd like to play out the subtle manipulations of having my Machiavellian character go "who? me? no" when confronted about it and manipulate everyone into believing the hero is a liar.

But I've never seen anyone really do much with it.

I guess to make this less a useless rant, tell me some of your horror stories/complaints about how hard it is PLAYING villains in games, anons.
