There's a difference between having a nuanced, multifaceted villain with sympathetic traits and giving a villain who kicks puppies into trash compactors an unjustified heroic turn just because "everyone can be friends now!"

That last sentence is the critical one. People who see their real-life political/ideological opponents as mindless, inhuman strawmen, and then project that strawman onto movie/game/television villains (sometimes accurately, sometimes not) and whine when said villain is not treated like a mindless, inhuman strawman, but an actual human with believable reasons for why they do the bad things they do. Often they just want the catharsis of watching a representation of their opponents get beaten up.

For a recent example, I've been seeing it a lot lately with John Walker from Falcon & Winter Soldier. People getting really steamed over his portrayal because they wanted him to represent white privilege and/or police brutality, and be a mindless raving bigot with no redeeming qualities instead of a flawed human being.
