As someone who descends from knight templars from England, it\\\'s a bummer to see that \\\"Knight Templar\\\" is a trope that explicitly refers to someone who is a villain. I don\\\'t really understand the justification behind this trope bearing the name of a specific piece of a culture\\\'s history outside of it being a Christophobic/Europhobic gesture. It would be good if this trope had a culture-agnostic label like \\\"Fatal Fanatic\\\", \\\"Fanatic\\\", or \\\"Megalomaniac\\\". Imagine if we took the ancestry of some other ethnicity and referred to them as \\\"schemers\\\" or \\\"crooks\\\".
