A “Bad Guy” is the term used for either a theoretical or real agent of opposition to one’s favoured something. Often this term is applied in cases where labelling an assumed party would be Dangerous. This concept is also widely and sometimes jokingly used to label ethereal parties in “conspiracy theories”.
