How is being a thief cruel? Maybe if he was stealing candy from children by punching them in the face (and violating them with his tail) but he doesn't. He has one emotional mishap and he rarely steals anything from people who don't deserve it. We might as well say Edge is more evil cause he's a thief and a prince,which means he's obviously stealing when he can afford not to. Not to mention he's a ninja, which is a hate crime against pirates
