Hmm, yes. I don't have any objection to villains doing morally reprehensible things, within the realm of fiction of course. What gets on my nerves, and those of some other people, is when we perceive that protagonist-centered morality is at play. In my case, it is because I want the characters to have psychological realism, and few things break that more than people getting away with things that reasonable characters would never let them get away with. Also, it occasionally sets a bad example.
