Just as a thought, maybe we should include a note in the main Jerk With A Heart Of Gold entry to reflect the fact that there actually seem to be a couple different flavors of this trope:

1: The version the trope's main entry refers to; basically, a {{Jerkass]] with Hidden Depths who has plenty of Pet The Dog moments.

2: A character who has No Social Skills or just a tendency to not think about the consequences of what they say and do, and thus acts like a Jerkass unintentionally.

What separates the two types is intention; a type 1 Jwa Ho G intends to be nasty to people, but has positive qualities to offset that. A type 2 usually doesn't even realize they're being a Jerkass until they've seriously hurt someone's feelings or gotten called out for it.
