It's exactly what it says on the tin. Anime, manga, and other forms of Asian entertainment like them.

I wasn't referring to fans, and those edgy dudes will pull a "Thanos did nothing wrong" whether there is a humanizing moment or not.

I dislike villains that have no rhyme or reason to their actions, because that's incredibly shallow, and there's already enough dehumanization IRL. That doesn't mean the reason needs to be morally gray; tons of reasons are just plain wrong and indefensible. But don't not have a reason.

You want Starship Troopers bugs that are just animals? You want zombies that are purely chemical processes? Great, no humanization necessary!

But don't try to sell me on people being evil for the sake of evil.
