It has come to my attention that there are a lot more villains these days than there used to be. A brief Facebook search turns up over ten pages of you.
Now, far be it from me to poop on anyone's cornflakes (I leave that to more competent poop-themed villains,) but this is a little silly.
Two years ago, there were about a hundred of us, give or take a few ghost accounts. That was fine, edging towards too much. Villains should never number in the majority. If you want attention and you want to be a drama queen, that's fine, but it doesn't make you a villain. If you want a large audience on MyFace or SpaceBook or YouHub or TubeVid or whatever, no one is gonna deny you that. You have an Internet connection and an imagination and you deserve your audience if you want it so badly. There's an audience for everything.
That doesn't make you a villain either.
When I left, there was a lot of petty fighting and poking of each other, and that was to be expected. Villains are mostly Type-A personalities after all; put a bunch of 'em in a room together and you'll have to clear them out with a mop and a squeegie in an hour.
What's changed? Not a whole hell of a lot, except now the bickering's bigger, the egos have blown up to the point they have their own orbit, and a lot of old-school baddies who should know better by now haven't learned a damn thing.
(Pictured: Some other villain who didn't learn from the past either.)
So what's the problem here? Why is it that, from 2009, when ROACH first reared its pimply, radiation-besotted head to now, no one's learned anything, or at least applied anything they learned?
I see the same silly idiocy about "doxxing" and "death threats" that I did back then. To paraphrase an associate of mine, "I'm not attacking you, merely the fucked-up and retarded policies you're pursuing right now that are making everyone involved a hypocrite which is hilarious because not one of you can even see it and yes this is all-inclusive so if you think this pertains to you or even if you don't it totally does so consider this a wake-up slap and I don't care that this sentence is poorly constructed bite me." (Paraphrasing; the most useful tool of all time EVER.)
Villains create villainy. Villainy is not petty slapfighting. If you don't exist to take on an Arch-Enemy, you don't need to exist as a villain. Go open a new Facebook account and leave this lifestyle behind you and write it off as a life lesson.
Final verdict? Don't be the guy (or gal) that a year, two years, a decade from now has to turn around and say this to himself in a mirror.
Keep it classy, folks.
