The Law of Inverse Favoritism refers to the tendency of fanfiction authors to make their FAVORITE characters suffer the most, either INSTEAD of the ones they hate, or ALONGSIDE the ones they hate. For example, if you were a huge Sonic fan, and Tails was your favorite character, he would tend to go through the most serious shit in any stories you wrote, maybe he'd lose one of his tails, maybe he'd die, maybe he'd lose someone who meant a lot to him (Like Sonic himself).
This law does not always apply, however, and some authors may like certain characters TOO much to make them eligible for this, as if there's a sort of uncanny valley where, right before the character means the most to you out of any, ones short of that standard suffer, but the ones shorter or ahead of the valley do not.
This seems to often be determined by how innocent or pure the character is. The moreso they are, the more likely they'll be excluded. For example, I often write Animaniacs fanfics, and Wakko never gets hurt as badly as anyone else, so he would probably be an exception for the Law of Inverse Favoritism.

Alice: You know how people who write fanfics often tend to torture their FAVORITE characters, and not the ones they HATE?
Bob: Yeah, I'm often guilty of that myself. I know how that works.
Alice: Well, you're one of my favorites to write in my stories now, so get ready for hell. That doesn't bother you at all, does it?
Bob: I t 's v e n g e a n c e f o r a l l I ' v e w r i t t e n
Alice: I also came up with a name for that. I'll call it "The Law of Inverse Favoritism".
Bob: Accurate.

Get the Law of Inverse Favoritismmug. by Grabacr April 19, 2020
Get the wheel spidermug. A very big, very dangerous or concerning looming threat or danger. It doesn't have to be a large scale danger (like a war) or involve literal nukes, but could also be something that could involve severe emotional devastation or an unrecoverable argument between friends (Like mentioning a topic that could give someone a major panic/anxiety attack).
Person A: Why don't you talk about (game) in this chat?
Person B: Well, I am a fan of that game, but one of my friends has a really big anxiety trigger involving it, so I don't mention it out of respect.
Person A: Thank God you told me, that could've been a nuke in the sand.

Get the Nuke in the sandmug. To be full of, or covered in, shit, either literally or metaphorically.
Sense 1: Full of shit, speaking nonsense.
Sense 2: Containing shit, having shit on something, or being covered in shit.

Bob: Dude, did you hear about Nintendo working on a Mario game for the PS5?
Dylan: You're so enschissened, Nintendo would never make a first-party game for a competitor's console
Sense 2:
Bob: I just shat my pants.
Steve: You should throw out those enscheissened pants, bro.

Get the Enscheissenedmug. A metashit is what happens when a pile of shit goes to take a dump of its own. It's a shit of a shit, so it's a metashit.
Shit squared, shit². Shit multiplied by shit.
Shit squared, shit². Shit multiplied by shit.
AVGN: It's like a pile of shit taking a shit!
Me (thinking): You mean a metashit?
---
yo dawg I heard you like calling things shit, so I put a dump in your dump so you can call things shit while you call things shit.

Get the Metashitmug. Something Donald Trump doesn't have.
Most people require one to function, however. If yours dies, you suffer a state called "brain death", where you basically become stuck in a coma.
A lot of modern politicians either lack one of these, or lack a heart instead.

Person A: Hey, Person B, do you know anyone who has a brain?
Person B: I have something better! I know someone who has no brain, an empty skull, complete vacuum, not even air!
Person A: Who?
Person B: *Points to a Donald Trump 2020 sign on someone's nearby lawn
Person A: I guess I don't have one either! How'd I not know that?
Person B: Because I'm surrounded by idiots.
Person A: Fair enough.

Get the Brainmug. Someone who has their head up the former President's ass and blindly worships him whilst claiming to love America, despite the fact that he's the very same man who tried to DESTROY America with a failed coup, and that is treason. A Trumpnozzle only spews out "muh fake news", "muh global warming hoax", "muh video game violence", "muh homophobia", "muh border wall", and other nonsensical bullshit phrases. The flow of illogic exiting the mouth of a trumpnozzle is like the nozzle of a rocket engine, blowing away and evaporating any attempts to shove logic down the Trumpnozzle's throat, hence their name.
Trumpnozzle: Global warming is a hoax. Trump knows because he only has all of the best people working for him, and he'll make America great again.
Logical person: Can't you see that global warming is finally getting bad enough that even some of the denialists are beginning to realize it isn't a hoax? 2022 is the hottest year on record, and it's only getting hotter. The ice caps are melting faster, the ocean level is rising, and you're going to deny everything happening right in front of you?
Do you think the election was fraudulant, too?
Trumpnozzle: Sleepy Joe won the election through voter fraud. He stole the election from Trump.
Logical person: Attempting to continue persuading someone as brainwashed into a rut as you is futile and illogical. Good day. *leaves*
