Porky counts to be frank - abuse only gets a character so many chances unless it causes them to COMPLETELY lose touch with reality (if they became full on schizo or dissociative, for example, they are no longer able to be properly judged as they are truly victims.. even if their delusions make them dangerous to others.. people with schizo or dissociative can't control what they have become and in dissociative case it is linked to PTSD - meaning it is very much the abuser to blame for what the dissociative may do).

if the character is shown to understand good and evil, is not completely insane (see above) and so on abuse means squat - I mean, if you were horrendously abused you may well not get "good or evil" but many people would not go around and abuse others JUST because they were abused.. many people who are abused actively fight abuse and abhor violence.

as for some characters feeling sympathy for Porky.. I don't see that is disqualifying either.. people feel sympathy for serial killers, Hitler and terrorists.. it doesn't lessen the wickedness of these people, it just shows that some characters have misplaced empathy or naturally feel sad even for the worst of the worst.

remember Goku felt sorry for Frieza, doesn't mean Frieza is disallowed - just means Goku is a genuinely kind soul who feels sympathy for every living thing.. even a monster like Frieza.

I'm not saying Porky is as bad as Frieza but he has NO justification for what he did in the games and I don't think many in the audience really sympathize with him.. some will but some sympathize with Alan Yates, Joker etc.. as I said before.. should not disqualify them.

Porky is one of those characters who gets progressively more nasty as time goes on, it is clear he can't understand anything beyong his own evil ways and that in itself makes him incredibly dangerous - mix in the fact that despite his own abuse he becomes a horrific abuser himself, with little to no shame, then tries to summon Giygas into the world and no matter how sad his backstory or how much some may sympathize there is NO excuse whatsoever for his actions.
