Villains come in all shapes an sizes, and from all backgrounds. But increasingly there is an element that appears to be shared by villains of all stripes: trauma. Through examples of clear cut cases where trauma directly leads to villainous actions, to murkier instances where trauma is a highlighted factor but there may be more at play, to the times when trauma causes even heroes to make bad mistakes. Let's talk about how trauma is framed in our entertainment, and why it's a bit of a problem. ✔ SUPPORT ✔ Patreon:   / councilofgeeks   Youtube Membership:    / @councilofgeeks   Paypal tip jar: https://PayPal.me/councilofgeeks Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/verawylde ✔ OTHER CHANNELS ✔ Break Room of Geeks    / @councilofgeeksbreakroom   Vera Wylde:    / verawylde   ✔ SHOP ✔ Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/counci...
