    Default Delta Villains?

    Make Delta evil again!!

    ...eh. Just kidding.

    But are there actually some archetypal fictional baddies in our quadra? It would be interesting to see how their wickedness plays out given that they devalue confontational , scheming vision and grand people player as it is typically perceived as rogue, refering to the stereotyped villain association of Beta which should be given a break.

    Who I came up with is Christoph Waltz in multiple roles I think he portrays Delta's playful psychological/interpersonal intricacy (Ne and Fi) plus physical ruthlessness of efficiency (Si with Te) very well. Playing the villains, he usually manages to make his opponents uncomfortable body- and mindwise until they break.

    delta villiany is going along with beta merely so as to not disrupt their own equilibrium, i.e.: every Nazi and Communist who never believed in the cause but enforced it or failed to speak against it anyway

    Well I think Delta villainy is more... collective, tends towards more ostracizing, socially bullying, snobbish against those who are in the "lower ranks", "evil mother-in-law" kind of behavior.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Sandman in Spider-Man 3 seemed SLI. He might be more of an anti-villain, though, in the sense that he merely wanted to help his daughter obtain the mountains of cash she needed for medical treatment. I think you could argue the real villain in the movie is the system that forced him into committing crime.

    It's more likely that Nazism was actually Delta ideals enforced by Beta, like an innate sense of racial superiority and xenophobia. But obviously that has essentially to do with far-right ideologies.

    Babes, read my description properly next time. This thread is for concrete fictional examples and archetypes, not IRL history and society.

    The DMV
    Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.

    The regular LSE doesn't get their limbs cut off by their mentor only to get seduced by this guy:

    I don't think type apartheid should be allowed to continue with any level of seriousness. That would obviously be rather de-humanising and not at all constructive.

    I like apartheid it speaks to my aristocratic nature

    Why don't you go hang out with your democratic quadrant and take joy in your democratic tendencies and beliefs

    This is an aristocratic thread

    We're making Delta evil and we're excluding you because you are a prude

    I think examples will include Lawful Evil, Lawful Neutral characters and systems, and perhaps Choatic characters and systems who in the eyes of the hero are limiting personal freedoms or messing about with the Truth. Forms of collectivism (as @Singularity suggested) and individuals in a vein similar to Robin Hood could be examples.

    I can't say I have time for the Reinin dichotomies. I also don't see why you insist on believing you know everyone better than they know themselves. It doesn't seem like a remotely realistic position to hold in general.

    I considered this, he switched character from Beta to Delta extro It's the time difference, Vader came first and Anakin later so there's no coherency.

    I've always thought that Vader was EIE... but I don't know too much about Star Wars.

    The movie "Dogville" is actually a Delta village gone wrong... but there's no clear villain or anything.

    Yes. EIE for Vader/Anakin makes sense.

    Other types of villains may include asocial or apathetic characters, characters who delight in their pleasures at the expense of others (e.g. "The Town", or as some other unrighteous lust), perhaps taking advantage of their position in The System and maintaining the status quo (generally something depicted as oppressive).

    I was going to suggest that film genres such as the Western, the Space Opera, War, and Jidaigeki films may be full of examples, but I realised that this would be true of any quadra.
