I think this may tend to matter around how the “very bad things” are handled. Glorification and wrong headed themes are a major concern for how a character of that ilk may be handled.
Talking to VAs I notice a bit of a disturbing trend, VAs who don't want to play characters who do very bad things. Is this something others have noticed? Any VAs wanna comment on this? Have you turned down a role because your character is pure evil? (cont)
