You do not get many bad guys in films who believe in equal rights and a fair deal for all because that's not what bad guys in films are about. Bad guys in films have really crappy world views and everyone should hate them for being douche bags (Loki seems to be the exception that proves the rule). It's worth reflecting perhaps that if Gaston existed in our society then he'd be the one who would ostracized, he'd be the one who would be derided and pushed to fringe of society because our society sees his views as stupid and wrong. Meanwhile the guy who looks like a lion is awesome and would have his own TV show and beauty hair products. That's why we watch the film and know who to cheer for. But as a side note the character of Gaston doesn't exist in the original two hundred and fifty year old story because he's not needed in story form, but he's needed in the Disney film because he's the face of evil, he's the "bad guy" with the wrong ideas that needs to be physically defeated.
What are you talking about? Gaston really is a bad guy. Have you seen what he did?
But I do agree with what you typed about Gaston begin rejected by society. It's what he gets for being a big jerk. And I'm against jerks.
