Unintentionally Sympathetic

Ensemble Dark Horses who are meant to be either unsympathetic, in the wrong in a conflict, or come across as a bad guy, but they end up being sympathetic to the audience anyway, it is either because their reasons for doing something are actually valid and/or justified, are not at fault for the actual problem, especially when the character in question is harmless, or their "punishments" they are getting is way too harsh on them that the audience ends up choosing their side over the character who wrongs them.

Their opposites are Unintentionally Unsympathetic Scrappies.
