They feel that getting to work on time, taking pride in your work, putting your family first, being responsible and the classic virtues are bad so that's how they write the 'evil' characters.

Classic example is Telltale's Walking Dead Season 2. Kenny is a family man with a big heart who manages to get over his lost family, remarry, and make a civilized home with lights and hot water during a zombie apocalypse. Randos show up who he opens his home to, their bad dealings cause him to lose his home and while defending these ingrates loses his eye.

Next day the femtagonist is like "look how he isn't instantly over losing his luxurious home, his eye, and getting stuck with some randos, he's just a racist no good broken hillbilly!" Then she pretends to kill a baby to make Kenny angry at her so she can point and say look how angry he is.

And I'm totally convinced the writers like most of liberal players thought she was the good character.
