Re: Is there a technical term for this type of fic...

[serenitysquid]

TV Tropes calls this "Ron the Death Eater" (usually referring to when it happens to an individual character, but I think it can also apply when multiple characters are demonized). I'm not sure if there's a term for it that's widely used outside of that site.

DA

But isn't Ron The Death Eater where a character is interpreted as a complete monster and demonized and derailed into behaving like a bad guy? I've seen fics like this where the characters who acted like dicks are all remorseful and apologize to the character in the end.

Re: Is there a technical term for this type of fic...

Isn't that just the extreme end of Ron the Death Eater, though? There's fanfics where [insert character here] is OOC and acting like an asshole for no apparent reason, and then there's fics where [insert character here] is OOC and suddenly decides to start raping and murdering people for no apparent reason. They both technically fall under the same trope.

Using one of the examples given by the OP of this thread: The Scoobies get the Ron the Death Eater treatment so Buffy can run crying to Spike (who is presumably being subjected to Ron the Death Eater's sister trope, Draco in Leather Pants). Even if they eventually apologize for their douchebaggery, they were still being demonized to show how much better Buffy (or Spike) is than the rest of them.
