Not even necessarily a villain, just “good TV”. I remember a video, I think it was Lindsay Ellis, about “people make a scene getting arrested” videos, and noting that most of them seem to be of older, white, conservative American women, and supposing that they’re the ones making a scene because they’re the ones the cops harras the least, so when it happens it comes as a shock, and they flip out.
A large chunk of that is those TV shows purposefully pick women who make for good “villains”.
They do it to men as well. But throwing a woman up who is attempting to hide behind a double standard makes for “good” tv.
It’s just rage bait tv basically.
