From a meta perspective, nobody is more vulnerable than a villainess. Also, they're usually shown with the capacity to be legitimately affectionate towards a man, or at the very least, you don't really learn whether she is or not. So you've got a vulnerable, affectionate, and often sensual woman. Those that show that they'll always weaponize men's affection against them are less popular.This is why men love villainesses in fiction but don't line up around the courtroom for the real thing like women do with evil men, and it's also why they become less hot when they turn good, even when all other things remain the same (they've lost that meta-vulnerability). And it's also why fodder girls get outsized followings regardless of whether they're good, evil, or somewhere in between. In a sense, you could say that a villainess is a fodder girl with more screentime and story relevance.
>simps do line up for the real thing
They parrot the petty screeching of insane women in hopes that something, anything with a human vagina will fuck them. They know deep down that these women are scraping the bottom of the barrel themselves. Big difference.
