I don’t think he was ever supposed to be considered a role model. Sort of like Tyler from Fight Club.
no literally every protagonist is the good guy thats what protagonist means. just like walter white!
(sarcasm)
Except that's not what protagonist means. The main character is the protagonist and their opposition is the antagonist, regardless of alignment.
Edit from wiki: The term protagonist comes from Ancient Greek πρωταγωνιστής (prōtagōnistḗs) 'actor who plays the chief or first part', combined of πρῶτος (prôtos, 'first') and ἀγωνιστής (agōnistḗs, 'actor, competitor'), which stems from ἀγών (agṓn, 'contest') via ἀγωνίζομαι (agōnízomai, 'I contend for a prize').
Double edit: I completely missed the sarcasm my bad
bestie i hate to break it to you, the sarcasm tag is literally right there
Yeah I'm extremely dumb pay no mind
even that aside i'm a little surprised "just like walter white!" didn't tip you off
I've met way too many people who think he's the good guy.
who are these people
i hope i never meet them
Rural Oklahomans
Tyler durden, Walter white, Rorschach, homelander, Travis bickle, Rick, Saul Goodman, Eren Yeager - people tend to idolize the most toxic characters. Serial killers get fan mail aplenty. Particularly weird when the character is a child, but I’m no longer surprised at what people are capable of pointing their admiration toward.
In short:
how comically would you have to miss the point to think rick sanchez is supposed to be a role model
probably less comically than the 2019 joker, which is in turn less than walter white, which -- hold on, what is the clockwork orange guy doing here? do people seriously--
