I don't think rooting for is the right phrasing there are many characters I enjoy reading or watching that I'd find horrifying in real life. Like the arm collecting main character from nano machine or hell even someone like sukuna. I'm not hoping for their success but I have a good time reading about them.
Mind controlling someone into carrying out a mass casualty terrorist attack is super brutal. She's such an interesting character. Usually brutal characters are only brutal and nothing else but she isn't like that so it's fun to read.
