The moment someone spectacularly drops the ball on their duty to show up for their people — the anti-brotherman event. A brotherman fail is choosing the party over the hospital visit, forgetting someone's lowest point, or dipping when things got hard and only reappearing when things got easy again. It's not always a permanent label — people have bad stretches — but the brotherman fail is noted, remembered, and usually spoken about in a post-mortem once everyone processes the disappointment. Real circles can survive them. Some can't.
