I agree. But I think we've become too wrapped up in "what the authors/creators intended". I don't think it matters what they intended. If a character has actual villainous (not just jerkiness) merit, they should be able to go on here without discrimination. I don't care if Cardin was "written as just a jerk", his actions were brutal enough for me to see him as a temporary villain. I don't care what he was written as. I don't care what he was intended as. In my eyes, he's a villain.

That's the main issue I have with this wiki nowadays: we put too much merit in the writers and creators without thinking about the audience, the true judges of character. As you've said before, "we go by our own policies and not those of other people". If a user sees a character as a villain, I think it's wrong to tell them they're wrong.

I'm sorry, but this is how I feel. I know I'm in a minority and I'm just setting myself up for being banned, but I have to speak truthfully.
