I play a mobile game, Nikke Goddess of Victory, where one of the antagonists is morally grey. She's a terrorist, inarguably a villain, but fighting for a good cause against a corrupt system. People hate her and refuse to understand her motivations. You can't be morally grey and female because men cannot relate to that.

Related, Gone Girl is a fantastic example of what a female antagonist should look like. Don't need a whiny backstory, don't need to have a facade of justice, just a bad person doing bad things.

You're talking about the character who (attempted to) kill at least three other NIKKEs, or at least leave to their deaths, actually killed hundreds of civilians, and you want to say her problem is "being morally grey and female"?

Oh, and she's also bad in a meta sense.

Should've at least cited Syuen, who most of the community either likes to hate or outright likes, since she's self-serving and petty as fuck, but ultimately still an ally.
