I don't know if my idea is a good one, but I think we should create a new (and very picky) category named : Relatable

The Relatable category is similar to the Tragic category, but it's more specific. That category should be for the villains who have the MOST realistic and understable reasons for acting evil (even if they rarely cross the MEH). The viewer of the media where the villain appear should understand his backstory/reasons (Ex: reject, abuse, victim of theft...) because it could happend to him/her (= the viewer) in the Real Life, even if they gone too far .But he villains who didn't have a valuable backstory but acts only for pride are ABSOLUTELY not allowed (Ex : Grimmel). Tragic, Vengeful, Betrayed, Scapegoats and Insecure villains should be targeted, ONLY if they have a realistic reason to act (Ex : Andrew Detmer who is bullied by his own alcoholic father and random bullies daily, Tai Lung who learn Kung Fu all of his life in order to be the Dragon Warrior, only to be denied his dream at the last moment).

Some of those villains can RARELY be Pure Evil. Even if their acts are horrible, some viewers can understand their reasons (the only example I have is Syndrome : he wanted to help his idol, but he was coldly rejected by him. That event turned him to be a genocidal supervillain, but that backstory is pretty realistic)

The characters who suffers irrealistic traumas/experiences (like a genocide, brainwashing or a failed experiment) should not count, because this kind of event will never happened in the real life.

I will ameliorate that category soon, and I hope it will be created...
