Warden Wrath from the Owl House is white-coded, and his villainous plot in the first episode is putting Eda in jail so he can ask her out. His feelings towards Eda are treated as comic relief for the rest of the show, and he becomes a minor villain with zero agency in the story.
Dope! I remember growing up seeing Raj from Big Bang Theory (a very misogynistic show in the first place) being basically a caricature of this phenomenon. Unironically glad to see representation of non-South Asian characters being creepy as fuck and yet also comic relief; anyone can be a villain (even me)!
