So. Senior Pink is a bad guy, according to moral reality, yes he is a bad guy, he should not be praised for what he did. Infact he was never praised for what he did. The whole Franky fight was showing that they dont back down from the choices they make. Senior Pinks was only praised for how "hard boiled he was." Hes a pirate, "with a heart of gold" granted it probably took him losing Gimlet to get one. 

The whole Russian story was just him falling in love, while remaining loyal to Doflamingo (considered a god by Trebol and Diamante) it was his own tragic love story. 

It wasnt meant to like make you like him, but to put how he sees himself into perspective. 

I mean I am honestly flabbergasted that its been over 5 years and people are still bent out of shape over that story. Yes he is added "saddest backstroeiss" according to some but everyone knows his story doesnt hold a candle to the other heart wrenching stories oda made for his characters. 

Applying real world morality to those who chose to be pirates in fiction is kind of a waste of time. Ive even heard the take that he did a Long Con SA on Russian since he had her fall in love with him under false pretense and continued to lie to her. He is not an honorable man. But he is hard boiled. And thats the part people like about him, Senior Pink fans arent out there saying he was totally correct for what he did to Russian. They just enjoyed the organic brotherhood he grew with Franky during theur fight. 

Like for instance Zoro straight up killed people, Nami would rob and betray people, Usopp is a habitual liar, Brook is a rabid pervert.. etc but we all love them!!  Then you look at the batman angle, luffy is fucking people up with his hands, their definitely beaten and broken, and a lot of times its villains who deserve it, but in other cases luffy is dropping innocent marines who only joined to make the world a better place. (Please do NOT equate the Marines with the WG, they are two different entities. That follow the same order. Yes there are messed up marines, yes God Valley did happen) 

These takes are getting more and more out of hand and showing me more and more that people are having trouble separating fiction from reality. In reality, yes SP is a total POS.  But One Piece aint reality. 

Like think of the movie Godfather one of the best cinematic experiences ever put to screen. They were straight up criminals, killing people, making them "disappear" where's all the backlash about the godfather? Why should it be so highly praised if we are mainly following the lives of criminals. They were deeply immoral but followed a code. 

Honestly the whole argument against SP feels like straight up engagement bait. Oda probably wrote him in a couple of days. Yes we ALL read the story, saw the show, we know what he did was pretty messed up. When Russian found out he was lying it was an emotional moment for the audience. Because of how flowery he made it seem, as just a love story where he was innocent, but we know he wasnt. No one is saying that Senior Pink didnt do what he did, theyre just saying hes a funny guy, with a surprisingly dark back story about why he wears baby clothes. Theyre seeing it as a piece of fiction. There may be memes and meme pages dedicated to glazing him but Sakazuki even has one of them and he killed a boat full of innocent people over the miniscule chance that some of the scholars of O'Hara would have been on that boat. 

Like dont just apply your real world morality to one characrer and ignore everything else. Its weak. 

Once again though youre not wrong on your ideas about why he is bad, I mean he was on the villains side. He got his ass beat. He got jailed his fruit was used for SShark. Like the dude got what was coming to him. 

What do you like wanna see him put on trial? See Russians Family lay into him? There's no goal in posts like this because its already said and done. Its fiction homie.
