It’s Pride month again, which means it’s time for everyone’s favorite game: the world’s top villains throwing up a rainbow logo in the hopes we’ll forget about all the bad shit they do!

This year, though, I thought I’d do a formal ranking of some of the most egregious stuff I’ve seen, from least to most evil. Let me tell you…this was very, very hard to do.
