Yeah folks seem to forget that he is also based off of Sherlock Holmes on his worst days. Holmes could be an asshole and has a pretty severe drug addiction as I understand it.
Also see Spartacus or John Brown, both were absolute bastards in their own rights but killing slavers and fucking with the powerful is always in vogue. Though I have nothing but respect for Auld John Brown.

Its much like robinhood as well. A lot of these classic anti heros, arnt good people. They are not ment to be role models.
Watching an asshole break societal norms, the law or just rebel. For a good cause, is cathartic.
Assholes doing good is fun and the over sterilization of media is such a fucking tragedy.
