XD  So, you would rather have a villain who is a complete monster with no redeemable qualities instead of an interesting three dimensional antagonist with a grey moral code? You're presenting him with a false dilemma. A non-sympathetic villain can be just as interesting and three-dimensional as one with a gray moral code. You need look no further than Handsome Jack of the Borderlands franchise for an example of that. It's ironic that in your attempt to make a case for gray areas you've grossly oversimplified it to a black and white issue. I don't think I have oversimplified anything. In a show about understanding people's needs and issues, it would be very unfitting for the true antagonist to be a selfish uncaring monster with no needs or issues or her own. As for Rebecca Sugar's quote on Steven Universe having no "real villains," unfortunately I can't find it, but I did find plenty of people talking about it.
