@givemersspls Honestly, I think if the guy wasn't drawn to look like some evil villain and was just drawn normally, like a person stating his opinion, instead of, for example, the BS on page 10 (single page version, I'm not gonna go and count the number of drawn boxes in long strip lol) - this wouldn't leave as much of a bad taste in the mouth, IMO
The guy lacks empathy, he's selfish and somewhat manipulative, while also being very rational. I think that fits the definition of a sociopath... but yeah. He's not a villain (and shouldn't have been drawn as such
unless he up and does something actually villain-like, haven't read raws), just a morally grey character (like someone else said). Might've been too early to draw him like another one of the thugs, author...
