I'm nitpicking probably, but shouldn't it be: 'bad guy' not 'bad guy'

[โ€“] hangonasecond 4 points 1 year ago

The overemphasis on bad guy is just exaggerating the way we already place emphasis on the two different meanings of the phrase.

At least in my accent, I place slight emphasis on bad if I'm talking about an "enemy", whereas the emphasis falls on guy if I'm making a character judgement of a person.

I don't know if I'm making any sense at all, but I think that's what they're going for.
