It is something I have noticed, a trap I fall into myself and one of the main reasons I rewrite my own work, how much of the article is needed to express their role as the antagonist, if information about their time as a hero is important to help contextualize their time as a villain, what is genuinely required and what is needless lambasting? I remind myself this is not a fan-forum but an encyclopedia meant to help casual readers understand the role of someone as the instigator of conflict in a story across all mediums. Context may be needed to explain their moral structure as to why they act the way they do, but objectivity is key, otherwise each of us can descend into the toxic world of fan-propaganda without even realizing it.
