Line #4 PlayingWith/PoliticallyIncorrectVillain


1	'''Basic Trope''': A villain who is also a bigot.
2	* '''Straight''': In addition to having a fondness for [[KickTheDog punting puppies]], Emperor Evulz is also racist, sexist and homophobic.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': TheSocialDarwinist Emperor Evulz is a [[ANaziByAnyotherName genocidal monster set on exterminating racial minorities, albinos, trade unions, socialists, handicapped people, and LGBT people,]] as well as enslaving the impoverished and confining all women to [[StayInTheKitchen the kitchen]] -- by law!
4	** That goes for [[BoomerangBigot even his own kind]] as well.
5	* '''Downplayed''':
6	** Emperor Evulz is slightly awkward around different races, loathes [[StrawFeminist Alice]] not due to her sex but her beliefs, and secretly not comfortable with the idea of homosexuality, yet he doesn't make a big deal about it and let his biases sabotage his own plans.
7	** Evulz is is somewhat bigoted, but his bigotry is completely irrelevant to is villainy.
8	** Evulz is a {{Fantastic Racis\|m}}t but not bigoted against actual races.
9	** Politically Incorrect {{Jerkass}}.
10	** Lots of characters in the work are portrayed as bigots, either because of DeliberateValuesDissonance or to teach a PrejudiceAesop. Evulz just happens to be the worst of the lot.
11	* '''Justified''':
12	** The work takes place in UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, or a FantasyCounterpartCulture thereupon.
13	** Bigotry is ''what makes him a villain in a first place''.
14	** Emperor Evulz grew up in a prejudiced environment.
15	** Prejudiced people are more likely to commit hate crimes.
16	** Someone who's already evil for a greater-scale crime is [[EvilIsPetty less likely to have moral inhibitions against more mundane crimes]].
17	* '''Inverted''':
18	** NobleBigot[=/=]PoliticallyIncorrectHero
19	** EqualOpportunityEvil[=/=]PoliticallyCorrectVillain
20	** Emperor Evulz's goal is to end discrimination. This sounds nice at first, but it quickly becomes clear he is a WellIntentionedExtremist who wishes to violently enforce PoliticalOvercorrectness.
21	* '''Subverted''': His political incorrectness is merely a façade to gain his people's approval; Emperor Evulz actually has views more tolerant and progressive than his subjects, and is the ruler of a highly insular and provincial nation. Behind closed doors, he had no problem supporting POC, LGBT, and women's rights.
22	* '''Double Subverted''':
23	** Emperor Evulz ends up BecomingTheMask.
24	** Emperor Evulz, despite being the exact opposite of racist or sexist, is snobbishly classist and plans to exterminate the physically handicapped.
25	** Evulz's few standards of political correctness end up becoming incorrect anyway.
26	** It's the straight, cis, white Christian men that suffer his wrath [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence for the crimes of existing]].
27	* '''Parodied''':
28	** Emperor Evulz is a RacistGrandpa whom no one takes seriously, and [[HarmlessVillain spends more time using antiquated racial slurs and telling his]] {{mooks}} [[HarmlessVillain boring stories than actually being a threat]].
29	** An internet comedian is treated as one of these after telling a racist joke on a social media platform.
30	** Emperor Evulz' master plan is nothing more than [[PokeThePoodle upsetting everyone by threatening to say a racial slur]].
31	* '''Zig Zagged''':
32	** Emperor Evulz can't decide whether he wants to treat minorities like dirt or exploit them by giving them menial (but still quite evil) jobs within his organization, so he flip-flops between the two.
33	** For all his politically incorrect behavior, [[HatesEveryoneEqually it's really just how horrible Emperor Evulz is to others]] [[EqualOpportunityOffender regardless of their race, class, or gender]].
34	** Evulz is openly narrow-minded, but he keeps his prejudices out of his villainy, and the evil deeds he does are not related to or motivated by any bigotry he has. For example, just because he has a negative perspective of black people doesn't stop him from hiring [[ScaryBlackMan Drake]] and [[TheDragon promoting him to second-in-command]].
35	** Evulz is prejudiced against certain groups, but sympathetic towards other ones.
36	* '''Averted''': Emperor Evulz isn't racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, or a religious fanatic -- or he might be, but that issue never comes up.
37	* '''Enforced''':
38	** The MoralGuardians want to point out how politically correct ''they'' are while at the same time [[AndThatsTerrible pointing out how evil this guy is]].
39	** The work is an AuthorTract against bigotry and prejudice.
40	** The creators make [[HateSink the villain]] bigoted to lower the chances of the audience sympathizing with him.
41	* '''Lampshaded''': "Wow. So not only is he a murderer, [[AndThatsTerrible he's also a racist jerk]]."
42	* '''Invoked''': Emperor Evulz, trying to rise to power, panders to his bigoted audience by becoming this.
43	* '''Exploited''': The heroes are able to convince the surrounding nations to form TheAlliance by pointing out how much Evulz hates their respective races... and [[FinalSolution what he's likely to do if he wins]].
44	* '''Defied''': "Simply because I am evil does ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards not]]'' mean I have to sink to such petty levels as bigotry! [[HatesEveryoneEqually I despise everyone equally!"]]
45	* '''Discussed''': Two of Evulz' ([[LaResistance disloyal]]) subjects ponder how he could have gained the support of so many of their countrymen and -women, given his being known to have spat vitriol at seemingly every demographic under the sun.
46	* '''Conversed''': "I'm glad I don't live in Tropendom. A villain like Evulz isn't the type you can put in jail or order to perform community service to repay their crimes in full."
47	* '''Implied''': When Emperor Evulz meets each of the people that our heroic FiveTokenBand will later comprise, he scowls deeply -- and ''only'' at the heroes-to-be.
48	* '''Deconstructed''': Because of his closed-mindedness, Emperor Evulz comes to have a ZeroPercentApprovalRating, and a coup is organized to overthrow him.
49	* '''Reconstructed''':
50	** Emperor Evulz has a strong enough EvilArmy to crush the resistance and carry on as usual.
51	** The ''majority'' of the population turns out to sympathise with Emperor Evulz on these issues.
52	* '''Played For Laughs''': Because of the sheer ridiculousness and shamelessness in how Emperor Evulz expresses his views, no one takes him seriously.
53	* '''Played For Drama''': Emperor Evulz begins a campaign of ruthless propaganda and [[FinalSolution genocide]], killing everyone who displeases him. And it transpires that our heroes are among his most hated targets...
54	* '''Unparodied''':[[note]]Continued from "Parodied".[[/note]] Emperor Evulz really ''is'' the threat he considers himself to be, and is [[ObfuscatingStupidity pretending to be a befuddled old man in order to fool his victims]].
55	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The show was created and originally released in a country where discrimination is still a pressing social problem, and the creator wants to bring these issues to light.
56	* '''Untwisted''' Emperor Evulz's hatred of white supremacy turns out to be politically incorrect in it's own right, given he is an elitist who see them as "white trash".
