User blog comment:Queen Misery/Jerk Versus Villain/@comment-1993678-20110127154544

villains can be jerks and jerks can be villains - however a villainous jerk seeks to cause serious harm while a minor jerk is simply a nuisance.. for example: Bluto is a villain and a jerk, as is Gaston and Peg Leg Pete - because they don't just bully someone.. they actively harm people.. I think the term "bully" is overused and also vastly over-represented by people - a "bully" is not a villain in themselves, unless they are exceptionally cruel/violent.. someone calling you a "nerd" or a "geek" is not a villain, someone who beats you up however on a continual basis (without provokation) is more accurately a villain.. children and teens are rarely ever considered villains (and no Damien and co don't count - they aren't children.. they are demonic monsters in the guise of children.. slight difference)
