Sissy Villain

Examples

 * Anime & Manga
 * Western Animation

Films — Animation

 * The evil Nekron in Fire and Ice is this to a T, but with this being a Frazetta film even he gets a shirtless swordfight scene eventually.
 * Disney Animated Canon:
 * Scar from The Lion King is easily the most limp-pawed feline ever to grace the big screen. This becomes a Parental Bonus for the Swedish Viewers where Scar is dubbed by the Very Gay and Very Out Actor/Singer Richard Wolff. How out is he? He penned a song describing his Coming-Out Story titled "Beautiful Boys, Beautiful Men." Don't worry, Scar is still awesome.
 * Robin Hood's anthropomorphic depiction of Prince John out-swishes Scar to such a degree, The Lion King villain looks positively Leatherman by comparison.
 * Sure, they take the cake for the felines, but what about The Great Mouse Detective's Ratigan? Until he drops the veneer and goes feral during the climactic Clock Tower scene, anyway. (He was still rather imposing even before then, due to his enormous size and strength compared to the other characters. Well, as imposing as a big mouse can get, at least.) His effeminate behaviour adds to the Foe Romance Subtext between him and Basil.
 * "Honest" John Worthington Foulfellow in Pinocchio has his moments, though it may be more of a Large Ham persona thing. See the bit where he prances around and mimes throwing flowers while describing Pleasure Island "where every day is a holiday!"
 * Tamatoa the giant crab from Moana. He is vain, shallow, and campy with effeminate mannerisms and a voice like David Bowie.
 * The color didn't yet have quite the same significance in the 1940s, when the movie is set, but the weasel leader's pale pink suit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit gives this impression to a number of 21st-century viewers. (It did have that significance in 1988 when the movie was made, though, so one wonders.)
 * Disney's human villains aren't immune either. Take Pocahontas's mincing, flouncing, bow-wearing villain Governor Ratcliffe, for one. Most of that façade was forced on him by his assistant, Wiggins, who was extremely effeminate. Ratcliffe had his boisterous and rowdy side on occasion, though it was often just an act as well, when his men stood up to him, he folded.

The Nostalgia Chick: Nothing says sinister like little pink bows on your pigtails!


 * King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph up until the moment you find out it was an act to conceal his real identity, Turbo. Lives in a salmon-colored castle, has a lisp, hops around with various effeminate mannerisms. The castle's actually a plot-point: it's girly because he stole it from a 10-year old princess.
 * Sarousch, the Repulsive Ringmaster from The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, is a textbook narcissist, staring at his reflection constantly and even saying "I could kiss me". In fact, in most Disney films you can tell if a villain is a Sissy Villain based on his eyelids. If they are heavy and almost purple you can be sure that's the intention. This is because their eyelids look like they have eye shadow on them to give the implication they're wearing make up. Disney seems to be quite fond of using this.
 * Heavy Metal: the rebel leader Ard in the segment "Den". He's rather puny-looking and talks like a stereotypical Camp Gay (see page quote above) but it turns out he has a Healing Factor which lets him shrug off being plugged multiple times with an automatic rifle.
 * Marvin McNasty from Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw has his moments of being flamboyant, particularly when he swings his hips during his performance of "The King of Everything".

Visual Novels

 * From Ace Attorney:
 * Richard Wellington is a mean of wealth, taste and art. He himself is a great con artist. Oh, and a murderer, of course.
 * Subverted with Jean Armstrong. He's sissy all right, but not evil, just desperate because of how deep in debt he is.
 * Kristoph Gavin pays a lot of attention to his looks, and even wears nail polish. That doesn't stop him from being downright terrifying.
 * FINALLY, Florent L'Belle would LIKE to point out that the only VILLAINS here are those UNABLE to comprehend his MAGNIFICENT beauty.
 * Miguel Kurashiki in Rose Guns Days fits the trope to a T, with a strong emphasis on the mysogynistic part. He also has a close relationship and plenty of Ho Yay moments with his boss *Caleb. Season 2 gives him a good deal of Character Development though.
 * Togainu no Chi: Arbitro swishes about in a feather boa, has a cleanliness fetish, collects statues of pretty boys...

Web Animation

 * The Blue Laser Commander in the Cheat Commandos section of Homestar Runner has a high-pitched, screechy voice, similar to Cobra Commander. And though his terrorist organization has many plots for world domination, for whatever reason, between the Commandos and their own ineptitude, few are ever actually seen.
 * If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device has this interpretation of Lucius the Eternal, a Depraved Bisexual with a disturbingly high-pitched voice and Camp Gay mannerisms that occasionally resemble those of a high-school girl shrieking about a boy band. As with all Slaaneshi champions, you're lucky if all he does is kill you.
 * Nomad of Nowhere has Don Paragon, dandy, pompous, and flamboyant ruler of The Oasis, who forces people to pay a fortune just to get in so they can buy water and other goods from the only water source for miles and is the one trying to catch the titular character.
 * TOME has the shapeshifter playing Actor Ravenfreak who generally looks more like a guy stole a female character's gear and it was too small.
