I would beg to differ. I'm kind of tertiary friends with a large crowd of assholes that know they are assholes and in fact in a way seem to capitalize on it. I would argue this makes them perhaps bigger assholes than the norm because they are purposefully indulging in the natural tendencies they have. They are like "We are assholes! So let us be the ultimate asshole!"

It can be fun to be an asshole, too, in certain ways. It's fun to say "I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of me, I'm just going to be offensive." But I don't like to take it to the step where anyone actually gets hurt.
