I've heard this called "himpathy" - men who always stand up for other men, no matter what they do.
I wonder why the gender specific euphemism is a thing. Bros and hoe's do it, it's loyalty misappropriated to an idol/person/man instead of a sustained supreme ideal (God, humanities), in which it becomes a maladaptive trait that fertilises abusive dynamics like sycophantry, grooming, coverups, and whatever other cultic behaviour.
If my best friend was into CP drawings, we wouldn't be friends any longer.
Yeah, anytime someone requests or expects loyalty to themselves, it's high time to cut that person out immediately before you get slung into some scandal.
Loyalty is a responsibility not an entitlement. A member's loyalty to their community is at the expense of the authority's responsibility for that loyalty. The balance of responsibility and loyalty occurs when it's directed by both members and the appointed/anointed to a worthy ideal, not an idol.
Awful people wrongly believe they are entitled to one's respect, loyalty, and authority; often trying to implant themselves into an appointment before earning such.
Respect is commanded to an authority only once the authority has demonstrated competency through accomplishing successful results through just means. Appointments systemise such recognition; and become an attack vector for bad actors.
Respect is for people who earn it. Loyalty is for ideals that earn it.
The more or less it's earned, the more or less it's deserved.
President is an appointment that deserves respect, so we hope and regulate such that the specific president has earned it.
Loyalty is not directly for the president, but for the country or crown, however even country and crown are ideals/loyalties that come after the first most loyalty to the people/humanities/God-supreme.
This is the foundation of whistleblowing. Whistleblowers like Snowden took an oath that they work for the people, not a person; and protections exist to encourage the sacrifice to themselves that such a loyalty to the supreme requires.
Those who demand loyalty seem to do so because their loyalty is first and foremost to themself, narcissistically, then maybe you, and so on, with supreme ideals last.
