I think not.
I think the aesthetic of the bad boy looks cool, and many movies and tv shows played off it to create allure for an otherwise flat character.
But in most media, the bad boy has a redemption arc and ends up being a Good Dude in the end.
In reality, what you think of as a bad boy is just an antisocial, toxic twat most people don’t want to be around.
To your ending question: I’d say they are definitely not more likeable, but they’re probably sexier.





That’s very specific and you will probably struggle to find enough people on Lemmy to get solid answers.
The biggest community I know of is [email protected] (and there’s a few generic parenting ones on other instances), but it’s still very quiet.
Hate to say it, but for your specific topic you will probably have better luck on Reddit.
