Worshipping a Pop Villain can be akin to worshipping darker gods. Deities like Set are often demonized because some stories show them opposed to the "good" gods. Many of them are gods of Chaos or Destruction like Set or Shiva. or trickster gods like Loki, or sometimes chthonic deities like Hades, who were feared so much that their names were rarely uttered. There are also entities that it is widely accepted as something you should not worship, like A/p/e/p, who are meant to be symbols of all the negativity in the world. Pop Villains can be seen in a similar way. Some of them are misunderstood and can teach many lessons in their stories and mannerisms. They can be stories of perseverance or tragedy. But there are also beings in Pop Culture like the Snake that should maybe be avoided, or at least approached with caution. In any case, whether working with a trickster god, a demon, or a Disney villain, there's a balance to be had to not delve too deeply into the entity's darker spheres, but that doesn't mean that many of their traits cannot be celebrated or learned from.
Reminder that just because a character is a villain doesn’t mean you CANT work with them. Don’t let people deter you from something you’re interested in and most certainly do NOT let fear hold you back. You could be missing an opportunity for growth or adventure tossing aside those who others have driven you away from. If it speaks to you and is significant, I mean hell if it sparks the fire to your hearth light that bitch up. Give it a chance and if it doesn’t go well pack up and boot them out there’s tons of things to dive into and explore, in this case explore a new entity that invokes curiosity. or don't, ultimately it's your choice and your practice.
(Of course when I say these things they are within reason step away from something if you find it’s harming you mentally or having any sort of negative effects. As well as the obvious which is don’t culturally appropriate but considering I’m speaking of PC work I wasn’t sure whether to mention that part or not)
