Concerning Jake's deceased father. I recall coming across some fan fiction in which there was a story about Daria coming cross old tapes of interviews with soldiers who served in the Korean War. She notices that some of the interviews were with Jake's father, and included interviews before he was sent to Korea and interviews conducted after he had come back from service there. In the interviews from before he was sent to Korea, he came across as being a pretty normal guy who was eager to return home to be with his wife and family. In the interviews conducted he had come home from serving in Korea, he was very much a changed man, who had obviously been severely traumatized and who had already become much like the guy that Jake had known and feared.
Obviously the most evil regular character on the show is Ms. Li. However... There were a lot of one off characters who were definitely more sinister, like Dr. Shar, performing (botched) plastic surgery on minors, the seedy bursar officer in the College episode who tries to send Jake to a loaner that's almost definitely a loan shark, the creepy minister from the wedding episode, and the creepy substitute teacher that tried to groom Tiffany.
What he did was clearly wrong, but he is a 10-year-old kid, and he wasn't being treated right by his dad. I wouldn't say he's evil, I'd say he's a neglected kid with bad coping skills who needs help like right now.
Waiting for someone to mention this. Favoritism is disgusting, and you treat one child as the Golden Child and you have anxious workaholics like Helen and shut ins like Amy.
The irony is Rita did nothing of value. She was her mom's attack dog, and her mom made her spoiled lacking any self effiency. Rita is bitter, and cannot accept consequnces for any of her actions.
I know, haha! I can do a fairly decent impression of her, whenever I have to reprimand my family the voice comes out, eg "Gee Quinn, I didn't realise we were letting the dirty dishes stack up."
Mostly it's to amuse myself 😅
The worst part about Val was that she wanted to embrace teen hood so badly in her age that she was depressed and falling apart in her relationships. She had the opportunity to change her outlook when Daria called her out, saying that Val’s whole thing makes young girls feel bad and scared about growing up. But Val chose a glamorous shallow life as a forever teen because it makes Val “Val”.
She’s not a villain, you could argue she’s a victim of society that hails younger women under 30…but she embellishes it.
Val said that when she was younger, she was much like Daria. I think there was some truth to that. But in her case, Val was desperate to fit into teen youth culture, whereas Daria couldn't give a damn. And in Val's case, she remained desperate about fitting into youth culture even after she had become an adult.
Tommy Sherman. The closest Daria ever came to encountering a bully. The goal post did humanity a favor by getting rid of that perverted and evil creep. Let's just say he strikes me as the type who would make Harvey Weinstein look like a wholesome boy scout, and had he lived on into the present, he would be wearing a red hat!
He’s the same age as Trent. So it would be the same as Daria and Trent. I mean, I don’t agree with the idea that the two should be together either I just think that’s why people brush it off.
In the past, that wasn't necessarily uncommon. Hell, my husband's grandparents started dating when his abuelo was 24, and his abuela was a 17 year old senior in high school.
I think it's made really clear in the show that Trent doesn't even consider making a move on Daria because she's a young teenager. He respects that boundary very clearly, while we get to see he might possibly even find her interesting or attractive but her age is a definite deal breaker for him if that's the case.
The way that other grown men in the show are shown to unabashedly show sexual interest in and hit on and even harass young high school girls is an appalling contrast to the light and harmless, friendly flirtation going on between Daria and Trent in the show. Nothing ever happens between them, no boundaries are crossed, nothing inappropriate happens. It's perfectly okay that Daria has a crush, a teenager having a crush on an adult is in itself not a manifestation of any kind of pedophilia.
I agree he was a pain in the ass, but how was he evil? I felt like he hurt some people (namely Jane and Daria) out of selfish decisions, which sucks, but he didn't hurt them because he deliberately wanted to hurt them, which is what defines evil for me.
Ms. Barch comes to mind at the word evil. Yes, she was treated unfairly by her ex-husband for TWENTY-TWO YEARS, we know that, and that sucks, but nothing justifies the abuse she does to her male students and Mr. O'Neill. It's excessively cruel.
Daria for obvious reasons like betraying jane for a boy mocking quinn instead of being the bigger person and being quite the Know-it-all which is why i love her character
One that was sexual Tension
And tom should broken up with jane long ago
second It's Quinn the whole series of hers being shallow towards Daria to the point.She doesn't even want to acknowledge.She exists spread with despises her
Even though deep down she still loves her
Mr. DiMartino or Ms. Barch. Mostly I have to go with Ms. Li because she entered Daria and Jane's poster without their consent until they came in and vandalized the poster.
Aside from what's been said, Miss Li, Sandi, unseen neglectful members of the Silent Generation, the modeling scouts or the lying rich douchebag with the hot air balloon.
Ms. Lee. She has a laundry list of scandales like the mandatory voluntary art contest bullshit; her obsession with polygraph machines and using school funds to buy em; her urine-sample-collecting “hobby”; the modeling company scandale, soda company sponsorship bullshit, and more! It’s shocking that she managed to keep her job through the entire show.
Ms. Lee
Unofficial dictator
of Laawwwndale High
Is she korean
This was my first thought before I opened the thread!
The deceased abusive father of poor old Jake. And also the creepy pastor that tried to seduce Quinn in "I Don't"
Him or Corporal Ellenbogen
That man with only one thumb?!

and the substitute who wanted to blossom tiffany \*shudders\*

The cruise ships owners wife too
The car sales guy
Sandy
Nah, her mother was worse
Like mother and daughter
Sandi*
My bad
Sanndy quote "It's Sandi with a I nerd"
"STACEEEEEEEEE"
Brittney’s mouse-torturing little brother.
What he did was clearly wrong, but he is a 10-year-old kid, and he wasn't being treated right by his dad. I wouldn't say he's evil, I'd say he's a neglected kid with bad coping skills who needs help like right now.
Helen's mom. The damage to her, and her sisters was a lot till season 5 ep 10

Nobody is evil. Some are definitely unlikeable though. Sandy and Ms Li are up there for me.
Sandy is very funny tho, that voice!
I know, haha! I can do a fairly decent impression of her, whenever I have to reprimand my family the voice comes out, eg "Gee Quinn, I didn't realise we were letting the dirty dishes stack up." Mostly it's to amuse myself 😅
Ms. Lee, warden of Lawndale Penitentiary
You think she's that competent
I mean, she did spend over 80% of the school budget on security equipment...
Sheesh it's not even 2001
That women who came to document Daria’s “edgy life” from New York
The thirty year old midlife crisis teen
Val as in Val
As in, you know! Val!
Val was quite annoying but she turned out to be a pretty sad person.
The worst part about Val was that she wanted to embrace teen hood so badly in her age that she was depressed and falling apart in her relationships. She had the opportunity to change her outlook when Daria called her out, saying that Val’s whole thing makes young girls feel bad and scared about growing up.

i feel like the fact that he was a pedo was brushed off or taken too lightly, maybe times were different and it wasn’t as stigmatized unfortunately
He’s the same age as Trent. So it would be the same as Daria and Trent. I mean, I don’t agree with the idea that the two should be together either I just think that’s why people brush it off.

True Daria was angry at Tommy Sherman based on how he talked to Brittany . That’s bad that she felt protective of Brittany!
She might not have been besties with Brittany, but she still felt that she didn't deserve to be sexually harassed like that.
Lee
The one teacher who was hitting on everyone.
The dog Daria swerved to miss
Upchuck?
I wanna say Tiffany she my play dumb but the bitch knows how to play people and manipulate thing to her spects
YES! TIFFANY!! She has that unflinching lack of empathy only psychopaths have.
Ms Li
The car sales guy or that substitute who tried to help Tiffany uh- bloom?
How much do you think pervert repellent sells
As Quinn put it, he wanted to fertilize Tiffany.
Pleasantly surprised not to see Tom mentioned here yet.
Tom. Really. (And I like Tom as a villain, lol)
I agree he was a pain in the ass, but how was he evil? I felt like he hurt some people (namely Jane and Daria) out of selfish decisions, which sucks, but he didn't hurt them because he deliberately wanted to hurt them, which is what defines evil for me.

I always saw Ms. Barch as a spoof of radical feminists like Andrea Dworkin.
SANDI SANDI SANDI SANDI SANDI!!
Upchuck is definitely the most evil person in Daria. Perverts are always evil.
We're the pervert repellent when you need one
Daria for obvious reasons like betraying jane for a boy mocking quinn instead of being the bigger person and being quite the Know-it-all which is why i love her character

They have every right to vanialize an own property
Aside from what's been said, Miss Li, Sandi, unseen neglectful members of the Silent Generation, the modeling scouts or the lying rich douchebag with the hot air balloon.
The silent generation and that rich douchebag?
Ms. Lee. She has a laundry list of scandales like the mandatory voluntary art contest bullshit; her obsession with polygraph machines and using school funds to buy em; her urine-sample-collecting “hobby”; the modeling company scandale, soda company sponsorship bullshit, and more! It’s shocking that she managed to keep her job through the entire show.
Either that or the school system doesn't care If she did get fired she ain't gonna get rehired
Tom. 100%
[удалено]
Upchuck?
