@Bluethunder25 Maybe the show paints him as an unsympathic jerk because he IS a jerk? Most terrorists have had something tragic happen to them during their life, and therefore joined whatever cause the terrorist organisation had. Do you think IS or Al-Quida terrorists view themselves as evil? Adam and his White Fang goons are pretty much the Remnant version of those groups. Adam doesn't see himself as evil, and sees his actions as neccecery. But the show made it clear he is DEFENITELY mentally unstable and a poor leader who doesn't value life at all, not even his own or that of his followers.

A tragic backstory doesn't excuse one's behavior. For example, there is a man whom was bullied as a child. Years later, he goes on a killing spree murdering random people for the sake of 'justice'. Should we just pardon him? Adam having a tragic backstory will explain how he came to be. It doesn't suddenly make his crimes justified, or make him less of a psycopath. You assume that a sympathic past will instantly make a villain redeemeble or somehow not as bad as before. And in Adam's case, that's not true in the slightest.

Look at his goal. HE WANTS TO ENSLAVE ALL OF HUMANITY, even though not all humans hate faunus or discriminate them. Its like African-American people claiming that slavery should be brought back and this time all white people should be the slaves because of 'justice'. That isn't a sympathic goal. At all. In the end, he is no better than the likes of humans who hate all faunus because of what they are.
