This is why I like Ysanne Isard, the villain of the X Wing Series. She was in love with the Emperor, and she kissed Fel once against his will, but sex just generally has little to do with her. She's one of the few female villains who is neither stunningly hot (admittedly this depends on the artist) nor hideous, she dresses like an Imperial, and there's no story about how she was a good girl who fell on hard times and went bad.
She went into Imperial Intelligence, rose in position until her father tried to have her killed, and then framed him for treason and took his job. I haven't seen anything of her interacting with the Emperor, but certainly she never draped herself over Sate Pestage or the Tribune. ...Really, I like Isard. Even if her reputation outstrips her achievements eventually.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
