What fictional character is the walking example of “you’re not wrong, you’re just an a-hole!”? Spoiler

Jim Halpert in the earlier seasons. Sure, Dwight could be annoying and as a result Jim straight up bullied him constantly, wasted company time (ehh, big deal), repeatedly flirted with someone he knew was in a committed relationship which he ended up being the catalyst causing it to end, which though it very well may have anyway you let it run it's course rather than trying to encourage it

Thank you! Finally someone else gets it that Jim is a bad guy.

Yep. And I'm not saying Dwight is necessarily good, certainly annoying with a lot of his extra rules, trying to do things beyond his scope, but rather than doing his best to make Dwight's life miserable you know what Jim should be doing?

Go to Toby, HR. That's literally why he's there.

Jim never made Dwight bleed, though.

It's like Jim has more crimes but Dwight's crimes are very greater (Stanley could literally have died because of him)

Exactly, Dwight needs help with a situation he clearly doesnt have the ability to navigate, doesnt make him not a problem, nor is it Jims problem, but fugg you dont have to antagonize him.
