What's a red flag you can forgive in a fictional character but would never tolerate in real life?

I LOVE dark themes so basically anything goes for me in fiction. Anything barely problematic irl it's a big no-no for me.

I love dark ships where mentally ill or problematic characters obssessed with each others and destroying themselves in fiction but I wouldn't really support this kind relationships in real life

I really like melodramatic love stories with deeply flawed and even villainous characters in fiction. But IRL it's almost the opposite - I refuse to deal with any kind of bad behavior. So I guess fictional characters I like are completely different from real people I like - in a good way.
 
Obsessiveness, stalking... all of that. In fiction? I'll eat it up. Give me the unhinged, obsessive LI who's been secretly following the MC for months.

In real life? Absolutely not. I'd be looking up restraining orders instead. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Misogyny, 100%- I can forgive, for example, a Diabolik Lovers character saying disparaging things to women, whereas IRL i get quite angry about misogyny.

Yandereisms fall into this as well - I like seeing how a male love interest can abuse their privilege as a man to keep the object of his affections underneath his thumb.

For example, I was super into... Conrad.... from EIT... (controversial, I'm aware) but IRL i'd probably rather die than even be /near/ a man like him. But as a character, he's wonderful - an interesting narrative device AND an interesting character.

And he's attractive, of course, in a way only 2D men can be ...
 
In fiction I can forgive the characters who cheat, but in real life I would never be able to.
Like not even if or buts or explanations can even change my mind.
 
Menhera types... For example:
  • Constantly thinking negatively about himself.
  • Assuming the worst even when things are going well.
  • Seeking reassurance (though often indirectly).
  • Dramatic self-deprecating comments.
  • Letting small setbacks spiral into huge emotional reactions.
Not that I cannot tolerate but It's kind of worrisome? You may feel like you're constantly comforting, reassuring, or calming the other person, and eventually you would be emotional exhausted.

Also, everything toxic is a red flag to me.
 
Being a man and tsundere,I could only forgive tsundere for their hurtful words in fiction but if there real no thanks
