m.A.A.D Syndrome
When fans are so attached to a show’s main character that they’ll put up with his nonsense, even when he’s a smug, lazy, backstabbing mess.
'He’s a smug, lazy, backstabbing mess, but I still love him.', person who’s definitely a mess
'I’ll put up with his nonsense forever.', person who probably won’t'
'He’s a mess, but I can’t leave him.', person who’s clearly not going anywhere'
