To be fair, there's nothing wrong with Anti-Villains. In fact, anti-villains are the most relatable kind of bad guys. After all, a person can't be consciously evil, not unless they're stupid, literally insane, or a Saturday Morning cartoon baddie. There's a reason the saying goes "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions,".

There are also different kinds of evil, morally speaking, though I'm sure everyone knows that. It's not like a character only qualifies as evil if they're sitting at Joker levels of homicidal madness. It's all different shades of evil, and all are equally viable. I can personally understand, though, the difficulty with making a likable character who has zero redeeming qualities.
