It's Projared, he was a YouTuber that did both gaming and world of Warcraft. The only video I've ever seen of him was one about Chrono Trigger because I have an insatiable love for the series, so if I were to be completely honest I don't know that much about him either. As for Twitter the news took to the platform like stink on cheese lasting for almost a full as the top headline. I don't really agree with Twitter, so I think addressing the divorce for it all to esculate on a platform such as that was the stupidest thing to come out of all this really. It's really not worth following up on. Those serious about it are rather degenerate bunch we call the cancel culture, so I wouldn't even bother. As of now he finally came forth so some are happy to hear from him at least.

Oh, alright. I don?t really watch Youtube anymore aside from one Youtuber and maybe some music I?m interested in that happens to be there. I also don?t care for WoW or PC gaming in general anymore, so that explains why I haven?t heard about him. Thanks for explaining that though. :)

So TV Tropes had rules about posting real life examples, and those villain tropes are examples of tropes that cannot have real life examples. For me, I think this is fair. Here?s why:

If they were allowed to add actions and beliefs related to Adolf Hitler in the villain tropes (like Even Evil Had Standards), it would also allow classifying other historical villains as villains. But it would also mean that people would add people from opposing parties adding politicians to the villain trope examples, which can cause an editing war. Like they would classify both Donald Trump and Barack Obama as villains, which would offend both Trump supporters and Obama supporters. Not like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or Pinterest, TV Tropes tries to stay unbiased. So you cannot include the last-minute accusations of sexual assault against Brett Kavanaugh as an example of ?Nice Job Fixing It, Villain? (when the accusations against Kavanaugh costed the Democrats the Senate) or Trump?s 2016 Election win as ?Meaningless Villain Victory? (when John McCain turned down the Skinny Repeal, the last attempt to repeal Obamacare).

That's good in that it's an unbiased medium, although I feel that labelling villians is already uncanny as is. In all aspects justice is interchargable albeit while the things Hitler did were tragic to some they weren't, a ridiculous reality that can even be seen today unfortunately. In the sense that TV decides what's a villian, while again good in an unbiased structure, I think that it shouldn't be up to it to decide.

It’s also worth mentioning that every historical villain has redeeming qualities. In fiction, there are villains that are so evil that cannot be redeemed, and their punishments are worth it. But in reality, nobody can go that far. Examples:

- Hitler has committed one of the worst crimes against humanity, but he is against animal cruelty. He even passed laws against it. He is also against communism, which has always been a failure, as it killed more people than almost every disease has. And if the horror stories in Soviet Union, Cuba, and Cambodia aren’t enough, you should look at how bad Venezuela is.
- Before Osama Bin Laden was a villain, he was a hero. He lead a resistance group that fought against the Soviet Union, which was trying to take over Afghanistan.
- The Ku Klux Klan may be a hate group that still haunts America up to this day, but even they won’t tolerate the Westboro Baptist Church and their acts of hatred.
- Genghis Khan was a ruthless killer that killed many people and conquered most of Asia, but he fought for the freedom of religion, and under his rule, the Mongols didn’t live under oppression.
