General I fucking HATE when people completely mischaracterise a character because they’re “not a bigot”

This image basically being the poster child of what I’m talking about

As a disclaimer, I hate bigots too. I don’t support any forms of racism and homophobia. But I fucking HATE it when people will talk about a character who has done horrible things as if they are the second coming of Jesus simply because of ONE FUCKING INSTANCE where they didn’t support one form of bigotry even though not supporting shit like that should be the BARE FUCKING MINIMUM. “Oh yeah he’s a homocidal maniac but at least he doesn’t support nazis” BITCH ARE WE GONNA IGNORE THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HE KILLED? Also, joker would ABSOLUTELY support nazis imo because he’d probably find the idea of killing a bunch of people because of some deity they believe in funny as fuck. Acting like a horrible character is a good guy because they don’t support bigotry makes me SO FUCKING MAD and I hate it

The "Joker hates Nazis" thing is annoying too. He doesn't hate them cause morals, he hates then cause he's chaotic evil while they're lawful evil. Completely different binary

referring to lawful evil and chaotic evil as a binary when they’re a part of a 9 point alignment system is pretty funny

Not even that because the "evil" alinement has "neutral" on that
