Oh, man. That TV Tropes page is really something. The total lack of awareness that people who worry about 'woobifying' villains have of the possibility that maybe, just maybe something in a villain might speak to people who've been marginalized or hurt always takes my breath away just a bit. Ditto for the undisguised horror a lot of creators have that women are having fun with their creation in a way they just don't approve of gosh darn it. (That latter is worse because that misogyny has actively wrecked several series when the creators tried to 'fix' them so nobody could love the wrong character.)
