Taking a look at Zenos, Fandaniel, Emet, Meteion, Hermes...the villains of the story, I see a lot more in reference to the opposite...how they were written & what impacts they had on the stories they were involved in. I mean, some people obviously simp for Emet but, you get my point.
Some of this is admittedly my own impressions of them, mixed in with what I've seen online, but they roughly line up with what I've seen others saying.

Urianger is the one here I see the most opposite for. I see a lot of people talking about his struggle with being the "duplicitous one", his dad arc in ShB with Ryne and Thancred, his dealing (or not) with the death of Moenbryda.
I think I mentioned earlier about G'raha fighting for countless years to help save multiple worlds, and finally succeeding and being able to reap his reward, travel the world, with friends and comrades by his side.
Y'shtola honestly is the one that catches the most flack, even casually, for being the least "developed" of the scions, but even her we've had a lot of insight into her childhood with Matoya that shows she was a somewhat lonely if gifted child who never really learned how to properly interact socially with others, resulting in her developing this sort of mask of aloofness. It's why I always pick the dialogue options to be playfully snarky with her, try and poke her out of that shell from time to time.

I think if you don't think people simp/meme for the villains in the same ways and volumes that people do for the scions, you're clearly in better twitter circles than I and I envy you greatly ;D
