When a fandom takes a controversial or downright villainous character and downplays his flaws, often turning him into an object of desire in the process. This can cause conflicts if the writers are not willing to [[Retool]] the character to fit this demand.
In fanfiction, they are frequently the love object of the local [[Mary Sue]], who [[Love Redeems|uses the power of love to redeem the character]]. In extreme cases, the affection these characters receive from fans can lead them to forget that ''[[Misaimed Fandom|they're actually still supposed to be villains]]''. Or, on the flip side, even the worst crossings of the [[Moral Event Horizon]] can be rationalized, while any insult from the hero towards the villain is cast as deplorably mean.
