Even then, it's like nobody cares how evil an antagonist is unless said antagonist wrongs a beloved character in some way.

Mercury murders Tukson. No one bats an eye. Mercury plays a part in Cinder's plan to frame Yang. Suddenly, everyone hates him. Oh, but is anyone pissed at Cinder, for being the mastermind of that plan? No.

Emerald brags about Tukson's murder. No one bats an eye. Emerald steals Ruby's wallet and acts two-faced. Still, no one cares. Emerald plays a part in Cinder's plans to frame Yang and get Penny cut into pieces. Everyone hates Emerald. But yet again, no one's pissed at Cinder for coming up with said plans.

Neo nearly killed Yang, but it's okay because she didn't succeed, and she's super adorable. Neo murders a bunch of people, but that's fine because she's adorable. People love making fanart of how adorable it is that she likes to kill people. What kind of trope would this be considered? It's not quite a Draco in Leather Pants, but it's quite similar, right?
