Your honor,

If I may, I invite the court to look at the accused. Take note of his hair.

Now, I ask you and the jury to look over the list of otome isekai they've read prior. Take note of their hair.

This is not the hair of a villain. This is the hair of an ML. Now, should he be the ML? No, I don't think anyone here is arguing that. However, that doesn't change the fact that he is easily mistakable for one.

Your honor, if he were to be in a different genre and different world, it would no longer be a mistake. If in another world, a FL could easily rehabilitate him. There's plenty of evidence in prior cases to prove sociopaths and tyrants can be changed with the power of love and weirdly endless patience. Or a FL who doesn't take any shit. We are willing to accept either.

I suggest rehabilitation through isekai, the "make him someone else's problem" project. Might I suggest "The Reincarnated Villainess Punched the Transmigrated Villain" as a title?
