User blog comment:Magma MK-II/Characters that shouldn't be here, Part 3: Return of the Revenge/@comment-366087-20160102042320

Some of the examples as cited by Category:Villains by Proxy needs rewriting.


 * The Hungry Predator
 * Carnivorious(spelling!!) animals or monsters that are only hostile out of hunger or survival instinct. They often have no true hatred or dislike for the protagonists, they simply want to eat them, like any real life wild animal views its prey.


 * Most Non-anthropomorphic animals cannot be villains as they are acting by their nature and not out of any true malice, as the category acknowledges. This should be rewritten and refined to ensure contributors understand that such characters need to fit a modal of some form of anthropomorphism. Which does not always mean they are always "furries" or animals depicted with human-like figures. They can include looking like the animal they are based on.
 * For example, Professor Ratigan is such a "furry".
 * Sharptooth is from a setting of animals/dino anthropomorphised with speech-among-their-kind with human-like motivations and thought processes. In that world Sharptooth is most likely an anthropomorphic as well (although argument can be made that only the herbivores are "people" since they "speak" and carnivores are not and thus Non; for now I say let it ride).
 * So the Cat should not be applied to normal animals and dinos. Not sure Indominus rex applies, but the protagonists have attributed soooo much human-like reasoning to her actions, probably not the time to hammer that one out either.


 * The Unaware
 * Villains who are simply completely unaware of the circumstances surrounding what they are doing. Often, they are heroic characters who simply don't know any better in that situation. These villains nearly always redeem themselves after realising what they are doing.


 * the Bold should be reaccessed. As this definition is written here, the enboldened fails 6.2 do not add pages for antagonists who aren't shown as being evil/wicked, especially if they are good characters or on the side of law …so this needs redefining.


 * Possessed/Brainwashed
 * Individuals who have become antagonists via hypnotism, brainwashing, or possession.


 * 6.4 addresses this in its entirety in a contradictory fashion, so I don't think contributors will understand the difference from how this this definition is written in comparison to 6.4. I'm seeing a lot of mis-categorized characters which fail 6.4 as it is.
 * Apparently the Category definition was written prior to 6.4 in its current form.
