I don't think the show acts like he's not slimy, selfish, vain and a bit creepy in how he pursues women (In one episode he becomes a promotor for a liquor called 'snake oil'. He's literally a snake oil salesman), I think it's more that it's played for laughs, usually at his expense.

As for fandom... Well, the actor who portrays him is absurdly charming (and an outspoken feminist to boot), so a lot of the love for the actor gets transfered to the character.

it's actually called snake juice, but same concept

Oops, you're right, I remembered it incorrectly. But as you say, same concept.

I had no idea the actor was such a funny feminist before I saw his interview with Ellen, and I loved the character anyway.

I think I didn't have a problem with him because nobody on the show acts like what he does is okay. They all react "ew", but accept him as a person anyway, which is actually kind of nice and heartwarming. If he were successful in any of his sleazy schemes it would be a different matter.

Then he married a woman and fell in love with her, only for her to leave him as soon as she got her green card. It would have been hard not to be sympathetic to him throughout that storyline.

Tom can be variable for me depending on the episode. Sometimes I don't like him very much, even though he started as my favorite character. Others have overtaken him, perhaps because it's hard to keep making Tom likeable given his defining characteristics are creepy.
