"Given that this trope would still call Real Life people jerks, please do not add real life examples. "

We've gotta do something about the hugbox this Wiki is turning into.

You'd rather it was constant arguing when people use tropes to call people they don't like names?

YMMV is here for a reason and, really, even then some will find it offense. There's an article out there that says we deleted every trope we have related to rape. That was incorrect. We deleted everything related to porn to avoid pandering. TV tropes isn't a hug box. If you want to say you don't like a person, you can even do it in discussion just watch your language and don't rant about it.

(Confused) It is the main page, not the real life page.

No way this would be cut, even by someone not realizing the mistake—it has too many wicks and inbounds to touch.

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.

Which episode of the Simpsons is that pic from?

It isn't; you can see it's a bad photoshop as there's blurry lines that fill a Bart shaped silhouette on the background. There really should be a replacement image considering.

Actually, the "bad photoshop" was in fact used in an episode. The episode was titled Tis The Fifteenth Season. The one where Homer tries to replace Ned Flanders as the nicest guy in town.

Besides, it's been up for years now and nobody has complained, so replacing it would be just pointless.
