The cognitive dissonance between the actions of the show's "hero" and the inexplicable allegiance he inspires in everyone around him is so ridiculously apparent, the show may as well be called "My Poor Little Meow Meow: The Series."
You may have noticed there’s a new trend amongst fans of all kinds of media. Whenever there’s a little sad sack of a man, people will start calling him their “poor little meow meow”—their little baby loser boy, if you will. In other words: a Pathetic Loserman.
Examples of Poor Little Meow Meows include Breaking Bad’s Jesse Pinkman, Marvel’s Loki, Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s Prince Zuko, and Ice King from Adventure Time.
We are literally not allowed to talk negatively/critically about the bad things villains do — even when we say explicitly that we like the characters we’re talking about — because he’s their blorbo or little meow meow now and fandom has decided to make that position sacred.

Unlike his brothers, Aldo is kind of a lil’ sweetie. I mean, he’s not really a sweetie at all. In Tumblr morality terms, he is more of a Poor Little Meow Meow than he is a true cinnamon roll.
However, babygirls are closer to the “poor little meow meow” end of the spectrum: A self-aware term for morally ambiguous (or downright evil) men that fans interpret as pathetic and miserable yet appealing.
