This obsession people have for really fucked up characters. And I don't mean finding them interesting, because I'm just as interested by them. But I mean people who try to excuse all their actions and make them seem almost entirely free of responsibility. On the flip side, they often vilify the good guys and place all the blame on them.

I just don't get it. They'll find excuses for mass genocide but think the worst crime in the universe is picking on said genocidal douchebag.

That seems really specific. Is that a real fandom?

Sounds like X-men First Class, possibly Homestuck.

I'm betting Avengers, with Loki.

Harry Potter gets it.

The Weasleys are evil but the Malfoys are misunderstood. Dunno if that's what OP's talking about.

But yeah if someone sits there and gripes that the Weasleys are just so awful and such scum but then tries to say that the Malfoys were misunderstood or persecuted for being Slytherin, I'm going to just laugh at them.

Death Eater Ron is one of the bestworst tropes.

I think it's bccause most people have personally experienced being picked on, and most people (in fandom) have not personally experienced being victims of mass genocide.

Ack, I don't get this!

I mean, I love fucked-up characters. But it's generally because... They're fucked-up? And I just want to yell at these people that they are doing it WRONG and COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT. Why like fucked-up characters if you're just going to turn around and argue that they're not really all that fucked-up?

Ashley Williams from Mass Effect gets a lot of hate for being a racist bible thumper.

One of the people crowing about her being racist was going on how sweet Tali was, when I posted out that Tali was racist towards the Geth and supported wiping them out, he said "there's nothing wrong with hating people who drove you off their planet"

I didn't bother pointing out to him that the only reason the Geth drove the Quarians off their planet was because the quarians tried to commit genocide on the Geth in the first place
