per Trope Repair Shop, Jerkass Facade is being cut in favor of Hidden Heart Of Gold / Jerk With A Heart Of Gold.


* In Issue 5, ManlyGay leather biker David having a talk with Daniel at the New Years orgy. David had previously tried to 'bag' Daniel for his own deviant purposes twice, and failed on both counts, but even so, he admires Daniel for his integrity and courage, even outright saying "You got stones, kid." It's this heartfelt speech that serves the turning point in Daniel's life; the moment he finally and fully embraces his homosexuality. The fact this also lets the reader see BeneathTheMask, since David calls his [[JerkassFacade macho facade]] "bullshit", shows he cares about Daniel, and encourages him to not feel so left out, only adds to the heartwarming. He even gives him a hug!

* On a related note, David'd second rebuffing from Daniel, when he goes off with Roy instead, leads the tiger to mope back at his dorm room. Although the scene first comes across as the tiger simply being miffed that he didn't get to "bag" Daniel and/or that a big "slab of beef" like Roy got him instead (though we have no proof Daniel and Roy actually did anything, that may all be in David's head), keeping the orgy revelation in mind changes this: David is upset because he ''cares for Daniel'', and thus feels bad when rejected by him. So seeing Vince come home and comfort David, reminding him that he ''is'' a good catch and that eventually Daniel will see it, is surprisingly rather heartwarming.

* Daniel's talk with the sympathetic priest in issue 6 who helps him patch up his broken relationship with his father is very moving and heartwarming. As is the end [[spoiler: when his father, even though he still disapproves of his son's sexuality, pays for Marcus's college tuition so that he and Daniel can continue to be together.]]

If there is a reference to DMOS in YMMV, I\'ll make sure it is deleted and the troper who put it there informed.


** And as proof that even low points can have highs (see [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck Dethroning Moment Of Suck]] in YMMV), the moment during the New Year's party when David shows what is really BeneathTheMask, calling his [[JerkassFacade macho facade]] "bullshit", showing he cares about Daniel, and encouraging him to not feel so left out. He even gives him a hug!
