antidesign

Something way beyond known references of "cool", "fashionable", "trendy" - that are mindless attributes given to "designer stuff". It speaks of an ideology free of such biases and is about fresh ideas outside the box.

Fire-Fly Girl: Now, that is some bad ass antidesign!!

antivillain

The converse of an anti-hero (i.e., a protagonist who isn't purely good or heroic), an anti-villain is an antagonist who isn't purely evil nor entirely unsympathetic -- a character who doesn't seem to deserve being cast as the villain, perhaps cast arbitrarily as the villain because they are not the focus of the story but merely present a foil to the central figure, who may be an antihero protagonist. Cf. scapegoat.

Magneto was an antivillain because, while the X-Men were the protagonists who fought to defeat him and prevailed in the end, we can still respect and appreciate him for his motives and principles, however ill-considered his ruthless methods.

antivillain

An antivillain is the opposite of an antihero. It's someone who, in a story, is trying to do the right thing but ends up impeding the protagonists. It could be someone who believes the villain is a good person and so helps them, someone who believes in misguided ideals, or someone who mistakes the hero for a villain.

"Draco Malfoy wasn't really evil, he was an antivillain because he was only following what he was taught to do."
