** In fanfics that are villainizing both Ron and Ginny, you can expect this to be extended to their mother, Molly Weasley. She will be portrayed as a manipulative SocialClimber who instigated all of Ron and Ginny's wrongdoing, arranging for Harry to befriend Ron and teaching Ginny how to brew love potions so that she can use them on Harry. Sometimes, it will be revealed that Molly herself used love potions to get Arthur and still uses them to keep him in her thrall, turning her into a character vile as [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil Merope Gaunt]]. Almost inevitably, Molly will be doing all this in cahoots with an evil Dumbledore (see above), and he will be the real mastermind behind it all.

** In Literature/TheBible, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esau Esau]] was a rival to his brother Jacob, but nowhere near an outright villain (and remember, Jacob tricked ''him'' out of ''his'' birthright). He even forgives Jacob when they meet again as adults.[[note]]Jacob did give him a lot of livestock though.[[/note]] However, since he was considered to be the ancestor of the Edomites, enemies of the Israelites,[[note]]The Edomites didn't exist as a nation by the first century, but they were considered by the rabbis to be the ancestors of all the nations and people that have persecuted Jews throughout history, including [[Literature/BookOfEsther Haman]] and Rome[[/note]] he was given a HistoricalVillainUpgrade. According to Literature/TheTalmud, he was a [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking rapist, murderer, and he denied God]]. He also [[KickTheDog tried to prevent Jacob being buried]] with Abraham and Isaac in the Cave of the Patriarchs, claiming that as firstborn he had the right to be buried there.
* An in-universe example in the book ''Literature/{{Penance}}''. Dolly, one of the girls who committed the murder at the center of the book, is an obsessive "Creeker", a fan of two school shooters, Matty and Brian. The Creeker fandom portrays Matty and Brian's victims in as bad a light as possible, reality be damned--by all evidence these kids were perfectly nice and at worst a little insensitive sometimes, but if you only learned about the massacre through Creeker fanfic you would think they were vicious bullies who practically ''forced'' Matty and Brian to shoot them.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/{{Babylon|2022}}'': Many of the the fandom's more rabid Nellie/Fay shippers who resent Manny for being Nellie's primary love interest will portray Manny as being an abusive {{Jerkass}} who's extremely possessive of Nellie and wants her all to himself while only [[LovingAShadow loving an idea of her]]. While Manny does put Nellie on a bit of a pedestal and has a borderline unhealthy devotion towards her, he's also a NiceGuy who does care about her deeply and his love for her is entirely genuine; it's made clear that he loves her for who she is and not just what she represents. Many of these shippers will also cite [[spoiler:Manny firing Fay after news of her and Nellie's relationship spreads]] as evidence of him being a bad person, ignoring that he was forced to do so by the studio higher-ups and that he clearly regrets having to do it, even going so far as to apologize to Fay a couple times for it.


Added DiffLines:

* ''Free Solo'' contains a rare example of this happening to a real-life figure in a documentary. A number of the film's detractors will portray Alex Honnold as an unrepentant sociopath and DeathSeeker who doesn't care at all about his friends and family's worries. In the actual documentary, Alex is portrayed as being a little callous sometimes and while he does have a bit of a reckless disregard for his own safety, he's ultimately a good-natured but flawed man who simply has trouble understanding other people sometimes.

** Blitzo also gets this treatment as much as Stolas as well, most of them doing it because of toxic behavior towards Moxxie and Millie in Season 1 and has become more of the main focus as of Season 2 that M&M fans had a problem with. An example of this put in effect is the Absolutions of Hell wrote by Rileyopal and OptimuzYT2022 when they took Blitzo negative qualities being turned up to eleven, with Blitzo ending up going from respecting Millie to allowing Martha cook Millie during the Murder Family rewrite.

** Stolas gets this treatment time to time, some doing so out of dislike for Stolas' toxic behavior towards Blitzo and other imps and that fact that he is an adulterer, while others do so out of disdain for his characterization in season 2. The results usually have Stolas' negative qualities turned up to eleven, with some alternate universes going as far to make him as abusive as canon Stella.

* ''Webcomic/SpringtrapAndDeliah'': Predictably, Nick is this to a lot of fans. It's not uncommon for readers to claim he's being a helicopter parent and that his hostility towards Springtrap is just jealousy because a living animatronic is proving to be a better father than him. While the latter is partially true, this tends to overlook the very important fact that Nick is ''completely right'' to distrust Springtrap. Springtrap killed five children in life and he's obviously mentally unstable in the present. If anything, Nick should be ''more'' worried about him hanging around Deliah. Not to mention that, when all of his suspicions are proven correct, Springtrap threatens to murder Deliah and make Nick watch before killing ''him''.

* Lara Croft's character in the Core Design era of the ''Franchise/TombRaider'' games gradually changed her into becoming more snarky and morally dubious (partly due to the developers [[TroubledProduction getting tired of making ''Tomb Raider'' games constantly without a break). Fans critical of ''VideoGame/TombRaiderIII'' depict Lara as being a cold blooded selfish killer who will happily kill anyone that gets in her way and giving no shits about anyone or anything other than the artifacts she's hunting down. Most fans will use the finale cutscene that shows Lara killing a helicopter pilot to steal his helicopter to prove their point on Lara's viciousness. While Lara does kill, she's usually attacked first (mostly from wild animals and trigger happy guards). Lara is also seen showing concern towards two people who are in clear distress (Tony's hallucinations and an Aussie soldier whose leg got eaten) and even offers helping one of them escape their predicament. Most fans tend to ignore Lara's empathetic display in those scenes.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'': While Alastor mostly gets the DracoInLeatherPants treatment, the fandom can go the opposite direction too as some fans and FanWorks portray Alastor as an irredeemable CompleteMonster who's worse than Adam or even Valentino. While Alastor is ''not'' a good guy in the slightest, these fans ignore Alastor's own twisted but resolute code of morals such as his hatred of rapists, his unwillingness to hurt children, him ultimately keeping his word to Charlie and protecting the Hotel however in self-interest it may be, and his genuine friendship with Rosie and Niffty.
