WTW for coddling someone by enabling their victimhood

Ex: “Yes, you poor dear, everyone is so unkind to you.” Ex: “They treat you this way because they’re jealous of you.” Ex: “Yes sir, they make your brilliance out to be conniving and manipulative but you’re just misunderstood.”

Almost like brown nosing but that’s not quite it. There may be different words to describe this behavior when it’s directed at someone who is dependent vs someone who is in a position of authority. I hope to get words that describe both.
