I can enjoy an asshole hero so long as the story doesn't treat him like he's right for being an asshole.

An asshole protagonist can be interesting if the story recognizes it and treats it accordingly, yeah. then you get a Byronic Hero. It can be very interesting to observe, in the right contexts.

I have a hard time enjoying asshole protagonists. If it's clear that s/he's never going to change, it just makes me go "Why the fuck should I care?"

I always thought that Braeburn was supposed to be shipped with Little Strongheart. So I did.

Come on!

Pinkiburn is so cute! He's happy and enthusiastic like her, but more sensible and down to earth.

Cute!

What's so bad about Byronic heroes? I'm not really familiar with the trope.

@Purple

A troubled, brooding character whose passion causes A LOT of drama: some good, the rest...not so much.

No I am angry about Byronic Hero AKA That trope that turns a halfway decent shonen manga into a shit ridden emo fest.

And Gay Braeburn is Best Braeburn

Protip: Gay has two meanings in the English Language
