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.
Line 26:
[[Misaimed Fandom]] is a closely related trope. The difference is that the [[Evil Is Sexy|sexiness]] [[Evil Is Cool|of evil]] is [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing|often anticipated]].
[[Loveable Rogue]] and [[Byronic Hero]], characters you're ''supposed'' to admire even if they do nothing remotely admirable, may be the inverse of this trope. [[Magnificent Bastard]] often applies to both tropes, but this is a lot less certain for [[Draco in Leather Pants]] - he may be a character [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|only a mother can love]]. [[Love Martyr|"I can fix him"]] is a commonly expressed sentiment among fans of [[Draco in Leather Pants]]. See also [[Faux Affably Evil]], [[Affably Evil]], [[Foe Yay]], and [[No Yay]]. When this trope happens in the series itself, it's [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful]]. See [[Rooting for The Empire]] for doing this and knowing it, and [[Jerk Sue]] for when the writer does this.
Sometimes, the creator of the original series may say "Sure, why not?", resulting in [[Sure Why Not|Ascended Leather Pants]]. May or may not result in [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].
