When you have two characters in a story in which:
*Character A is something other than human and is super fast, strong, and altogether powerful
*Character B is a fragile little human
*They are in love, and Character A has a conflicting desire to protect and kill Character B
"I'm writing a story about a human who falls in love with this tall, scary alien. They've totally got an Edward/Bella Complex!"
"Good for you, monster fucker."
A relationship between two fictional characters where:
*Character A is something other than human and is super strong, fast, and powerful
*Character B is a fragile little human
*They are in love
*Character A has a conflicting desire to protect and kill Character B
"I've got a story where a human woman falls in love with a tall, scary alien! They've totally got an Edward/Bella Complex!"
"Good for you, monster fucker."
The term is used to describe those who are white and find out they are 10% Black/Asian/Native/Latine and think that they are POC and can claim being oppressed.
“Why do they think they can say that slur? Aren’t they white?”
“They said they were 10% Black, I dunno.”
“Oh, so this is a case of someone with a Woah Vicky Complex.”
A situation in which the villian to one group of people is the hero to another
Robin hood was a villian to the rich and a hero to the poor. Thus, the Robin Hood Complex
The proven theory that many boy scouts that continue to Eagle Scoutdom have nothing better to do with their lives. After they gain the title of "Eagle Scout" they believe they have all power in the world and are the rulers of everyone alive, even though they don't and the title of "Eagle Scout" will earn them nothing. This causes them to seek jobs with power, or their idea of power over others, such as a college dorm Resident Advisor (RA).
Guy1: Man, Paul is the worst RA ever. He just thinks he has power over everyone in the hall simply because he's the RA. He commands people around to clean up and turn their music down. He's trying to steal the college experience away from us.
Guy2: He was telling me he was an Eagle Scout yesterday.
Guy3: That's a for sure case of the Boy Scout Complex. Notice how he thinks he owns everybody under his rule even though he has a stupid petty job as a college dorm RA.

The tendency of men to favor women who are sweet and innocent and chaste, but will then become (through instinct, not experience) bold and adept in the bedroom. The sufferer or possessor of the complex believes, or at least enjoys pretending, it is he alone who could transform the woman, so despite her whore-like behavior, she remains a madonna. He believes himself, therefore, god-like
George was your typical misogynistic forty-something momma's boy, still scouring campuses for his madonna-whore
