From my perspective, I don't like when the only queer character in a work is the villain.

Now, I don't know how Black people feel about this in regards to race; on the one hand, they have to deal with a lot of stereotypes, but on the other there isn't the history of making the villain Black.

But I still think white writers should consider, if they make a marginalized person the villain, not having that be the only representative of that demographic in the piece. Unless it's a short work with very limited space.
