[ SLANG ][ FANDOM ][ NOUN ]
A fictional character who is deeply flawed, morally questionable, or actively harmful within the story, but whom fans defend and adore anyway out of affection for their tragic backstory or sheer chaotic charm.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He's committed several war crimes in canon but he's my poor little meow meow and I will defend him regardless."
LORE & ORIGIN
A deliberately absurd, affectionate Tumblr phrase used to describe this specific 'terrible but beloved' character archetype, the silliness of the name matching the self-aware irony of loving someone objectively awful.
