When I say pretty privilege, I mean the privilege applied to the characters, not the privilege applied to the actual people in the fandom.
I'll be honest with you for a second, one of my favorite characters in JJK is Mahito.
From the design of the character to the voice applied to him, and the powerset and interactions with other characters, I love the guy.
Do I support him?
No.
He's a villain and villains should not be supported or admired.
But look at him! He's just a silly little guy with a habit of blowing people up like balloons.
But MAPPA, Gege, and the fandom have a habit of making him look like the crustiest, most disgusting, and vile creature on the planet.
He is not silly in this image.
Now, look at Sukuna.
Depending on who you are, you're either struck with fear or a sudden urge to make out with him the second you see Sukuna.
Sukuna is worse than Mahito in every degree.
He kills more, destroys more, and is just a horrible person.
And if you're wondering who he kills just ask...
Both of Geto's daughters
Jogo
Kashimo
Yuta (physically)
Choso (I will not forgive him for this)
And Satoru Gojo.
If all of you will hate Mahito for being a horrible and sadistic character, hate Sukuna too.
