in kids films and TV shows, why are badgers usually portrayed as baddies?

I don’t have any particularly negative views regarding badgers but so often they’re the bad guy.

Foxes I get. They’re little shits. Badgers though?

AIBU?

Yes YABU. Are you not familiar with Wind in the Willows?

Bodger's mate was only really a threat to mashed potatoes. I don't think he's much of a baddie.
