You are not evil for liking a villanous character.

You are not evil for writing a pure evil villain as sympathetic.

You are not evil for writing a fic with a villain redemption.

You are not evil for giving a villain a tragic backstory.

No matter how many times people tell you "You're evil for [X]", don't believe it. You can like whatever character you like because it's only that: a character. You are not liking a REAL murderer, a REAL fascist, a REAL villain. You're just liking a CHARACTER. And you have the right to like WHATEVER character you want without being called evil or without being told "your moral is questionable".

What REAL villains do is permanent, because the harm THEY do is real and no one can do anything to change it. But in fiction? You control fiction. You can control if you want to include time travel in your fics, if you want people to be revived or reincarnated. You can't do the same with real people and that's why you CAN'T compare liking a REAL villain with liking a FICTIONAL villain. Because a fictional's villains actions can be fixed, or deleted from the timeline if those villains time-travel and decide not to be evil. Real villains' actions are permanent.
