Malicious compliance

Malicious compliance (also known as malicious obedience) is the behavior of strictly following the orders of a superior despite knowing that compliance with the orders will have an unintended or negative result. It usually implies following an order in such a way that ignores or otherwise undermines the order's intent but follows it to the letter.

Limbus Company

Limbus Company is a small enigmatic company operating in the United States of America, capitalizing on the fall of Patches of Violet, a flower field with iron lotuses, in the Wuthering Heights. They can cross dimensions, discovering Love Town which comes From A Place Of Love. Their objectives are to seek and recover the HamHamPangPang sandwiches, gather enkaphalin, establish String Theocracy, and ultimately fix the broken wings and fly between two worlds. It consists of thirteen autistic people, who definitely have some mental problems, designated as "Sinners". Their name is derived from their mode of transportation, the special bus, Mephistopheles. They hire Fixers to do work, and assign a rank to each of them, Color Fixers being the highest. In addition, they believe in fallen angels, having a religion called "Gone Angels". They believe we must feel the same sorrow as the fallen angels, ensuring that their service was not in vain, and believe this is their compass. The followers were called "Children of The City". Their wording was like a poem of a machine, their most used sentence being "In Hell, We Lament", and they had strict rules. After 960, They were heard no more.

Hozier Complex

-A man who thinks he has comparable physical and/ or social attributes to musician and socio-political justice voice ‘Hozier’ (specifically in a way that is appealing to women) but is actually deeply problematic and needs to touch grass

-When a mediocre tall white man with long hair thinks he’s the world’s greatest feminist, musician, and empath. (He is just egotistically unstable, generally unformulated as an individual, took acid once, and heard a Hozier album.)

Persecution Complex

In mental illness, it is a delusion where the person suffering believes there is a grand conspiracy that specifically targets them or individuals like them, akin to gang stalking. This conspiracy supposedly is trying to make their life hell and everything that goes wrong in life is caused by this mysterious group, sometimes it’s the government, celebrities or just random people (See Apophenia).

Or (what this focuses on), when it involves assholes, they usually have a persecution complex over what is reasonable backlash to their shitty behaviour, using DARVO, psychological projection, gaslighting techniques , nutpicking, strawman arguments (and other logical fallacies) and then playing the victim. Claiming to be the victim of unfair judgement and mistreatment, when they in fact do that and/or advocate for it. Simple resistance to injustice to them is like an attack.
Examples of a persecution complex:
Christian fundamentalists claim to be persecuted by the mainstream media for “their pro family values” (see dog whistle), when they spew bigotry towards many marginalized groups and usually get a pretty paycheck for it. (See Astroturf)

AI “““artists””” claiming to be the victim of artists, who simply just want to not be plagiarized and have the thing they love and spent years doing be a stable way of living and not be treated like worthless numbers by executives (see Activision, EA, Disney, and other shitty executives)

Men’s “““rights activists””” claim that men are unfairly being treated by women. When they in fact are huge misogynistic douchebags that make women dislike men. Same people who if they were to meet real victims of the loneliness epidemic (ie someone who suffers from crippling social anxiety) they would make it worse for that person calling them things like a “pussy” and giving superficial advice like “man up” whilst belittling them.

Following the death of Brian Thompson, many healthcare executives claimed that they were being unfairly treated by people on social media, when those said executives can do the exact same thing that happen to Brian on a bigger scale and get away with it (thanks to lobbying).
