I've never understood people who play outright horrible characters, villains and get so bent out of shape when other characters react like normal people and side eye them and get as far away from them as they can.
Or people who play villains and don't want to play out repercussions of doing bad things. Or people who play their villains as untouchable and all powerful. I know it depends on the villain as they come in all shapes and sizes and powers and what not, much like a hero or good guy, but even then, the people playing them seem to forget they're bad, even if they're some how redeemable and all that, there will be repercussions for things they've done or will do.
Characters won't trust them right off, and if they do, that can be easily broken by being oh... idk... a bad guy.
Take for example I play a villain and he's pretty much the troll type who gives no fucks and just enjoys being bad in every aspect. He once killed a man graphically over the communication device used in game and people reacted accordingly, and it was a way to totally change CR for him in game. But I knew that and I'm completely accepting of how people see my character because of what he does. I expected some characters wanting to hero it up and go after him, to bring him to justice. That it would get a reaction out of characters he had close CR with and was 'friends' with. That it would essentially tell the entire game LOOK AT ME I'M FUCKING CRAZY AND HURT PEOPLE. WATCH OUT.
And I love every bit of it. So again, I really can't understand people who want to play villains but then... really don't.
Boggles my mind I say! But I think because of the type of villain I play I don't have as many hold ups as other types of villains? Maybe. Idk.
