Personally I'm not going to try to regulate what people consider good villain behavior or not, because different people are seeking different things with their RP. For some the sexual aspect of villainy is all that's necessary and that's perfectly within their rights and when applied to their own personal stories within the world. Personally? It's not my cup of tea, but if someone were to present it in a way that catches my interest, I wouldn't mind it all that much.
I have a newer character who some could consider villainous in various aspects - but for now I'm focusing on slowly but surely building him up to see where he takes me. As it stands he's a jerk at present with something of a soft spot for women, but his propensity for thieving and occasionally for murder might push him down a more sinister path. If that happens, I will have to decide if he stays similar to how his is currently - only reacting to others when he does step out of line, or actually being proactive. However, regardless of what I decide - I'll have to be able to eventually find the right audience for what I want. If I'm not happy with it however, and chances are he's going to be that old curmudgeon sitting in various corners, then he won't ever be anything more than a bucket of snark given sentience. I much, much prefer my antaognists to invoke an actual sense of fear - even without outright setting up elaborate plots within a complex storyline. However, if I can't find myself capable of writing that myself then I simply won't. A poorly written villain is no fun for anyone.
