That's easily covered by Rage Breaking Point. They might might appear calm, or apathetic as they're being insulted even if they're seething on the inside. The "breaking point" comes when those insults are turned against anyone they care about.
Also covered by Bully Hunter, in general.
Is there a trope for when a character has no problem being mocked, bullied, harassed themselves, but can't stand see the same thing happening to their loved ones. A common line for these types of characters is "You can mess with me, but don't you dare hurt my friends," or something to that affect.
