Get the Oldipus Complex mug.A seemingly uncontrollable urge to prevent minivans from overtaking another vehicle due to the amount of shame and embarrassment it would bring.
"I was driving to work today and a van had the audacity to drive faster than me! Can you believe that? I'm not gonna let some stupid soccer-mom minivan overtake me!"
"Dude, it sounds like you have a minivan complex."
"I was trying to get ahead of this slower-moving car but for some reason every time I tried he would speed up and cut me off!"
"Sounds like he had a pretty big minivan complex."

Get the Minivan Complex mug.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).

Get the Persecution Complex mug.Much like siscon or brocon. MC-con is a condition where you will love (or at least, like) a main character of any franchise you read/watch, regardless all their weakness, wether they are a kind mc, a cunning mc, a stubborn mc, a weak mc, or anything.
A: Will there someone out there that will love this kind of weak and naive mc?
B: A MC-con / MC-complex will still love them. They love any mc!
