It's a common thing in many fandoms for there to be a "poor abused woobie" - sometimes they're the canon villain, sometimes they're one of the main characters and are supposed to be the good guy. More often than not there wasn't ever any actual canon abuse... or if there was it was often never as extreme as fandom makes it out to be for that character. And even then it should excuse EVERYTHING the asshole does.

Some people have to find any excuse for their favorite to not be the cause of his own downfall. It's always someone else's fault they act the way they do. If people would just be nicer to them or tried to understand his pain they'd realize he was good person deep down. What the fuck ever. These characters are assholes, and it's entirely their own fault people hate them. Get over it already. Like them for being assholes, don't make them poor abused, totally innocent, woobies when they're nothing of the sort

This. I run into this in TVD ALL THE TIME.

I freaking hate the woobification of characters, villains especially.

Yeah same thing happens with a lot of characters whether they are gits or not- it happened with Xander in Buffy. While his family life was shit and his parents alcoholics there's a big difference between in-depth fics looking at neglect in his childhood and fics which make Xander an abused/raped child whose best friends are all nasty and mean to him really. Ah the love for xander angst but the hate for buffy/willow/oz bashing especially when all of his flaws are ignored and excused by said bashing.

This "woobie" term kills me because in the military there's a certain type of blanket referred to as that.
