Sophia LaCorte and the Power of Owning the Villain Narrative
Sophia LaCorte isn't here to play nice. She's the TikToker who flipped the script after public opinion tried to bring her down. a woman who took the villain narrative and turned it into her own personal power move. In a culture obsessed with ending people’s social lives for dating someone’s ex, LaCorte decided that kissing ass doesn’t get shit done.
Why Being the Villain Is Actually Genius
The "good girl" shtick is exhausting. The boxes we’re put in like “pure," "modest," or "respectable," are leftover from yesteryears. It's the idea that you’ve gotta be perfect—silent, obedient, and most importantly, unproblematic. But spoiler alert: that's not real, and it’s so boring. So why the hell not lean into it?
Sophia LaCorte understood that being labeled a villain wasn’t a death sentence; it was a rebrand. Instead of begging for public approval or trying to scrub her online history clean, she took control of the narrative, and by doing so, rewrote the rules entirely.
Saints vs. Villains
Purity culture thrives on the idea of performative perfection, and it’s especially brutal for women. We’re supposed to be demure, quiet, never too loud, never too confident, never too… anything that doesn’t make us a real person. The second you step outside the box, we become “too much.” Too sexual, too outspoken, too ambitious. But here’s the truth: being too much is actually your greatest asset.
Take a cue from LaCorte. Embrace the parts of yourself that don’t fit.
Cancel Culture: The Ultimate Double-Edged Sword
Cancel culture is like a public shaming coliseum where one mistake can get you thrown to the wolves. But here’s what people forget—villains thrive in chaos. LaCorte figured out that when you stop chasing approval, stop apologizing for not being “good enough,” you become untouchable. You flip the script. The crowd can call you a villain, but at least you’re the one with control.
Villains don’t grovel. They don’t beg for redemption. They take the narrative and bend it to their will. If society wants to throw stones, fine, since stones build an empire.
Why Owning the Villain Role Is the Ultimate Power Move
Let’s be real, no one’s tuning in for the “good girl” anymore. The world is sick of fake purity and impossible standards. What people crave is realness, and there’s nothing more real than someone who embraces their flaws and turns them into fuel.
By claiming the villain role, you give yourself the freedom to live unapologetically, without the pressure of always doing the “right” thing by someone else’s standards. You become interesting. You become dangerous—and, honestly? That’s where the power is.
The villain doesn't need anyone's approval because they write their own rules. And guess what? That’s how you win in a society hell-bent on canceling people for having a pulse.
Flip the Script: How You Can Be the Villain
Stop Apologizing: Villains don’t say sorry for being who they are. If you’ve got a loud voice or bold opinions, own them. Apologizing just makes you weaker.
Be Unapologetically Flawed: The villain narrative isn’t about perfection—it’s about power. Your imperfections? They’re your secret weapon. Use them.
Thrive on Criticism: Let the haters hate. Criticism is free PR, and villains know how to turn every jab into fuel for their brand.
In the end, if society wants to paint you as a villain, you might as well become the most iconic one. Stop chasing perfection, stop trying to fit in, and take control of your story. Just like Sophia LaCorte, you’ll find that the villain role is far more empowering than the good girl act ever could be.
So the next time someone tries to call you a villain? Say thanks and run with it.
