Characters that the narrative treats differently than how they're actually shown on screen. Like the world building saying that a character is always virtuous, the music is always upbeat in their scenes, other characters agree that the character always chooses the morally correct option, but the actions of the character are at odds (i.e. cheats on their partner, kills non-combatants either directly or indirectly, steals, etc etc). The narrative is not trying to show that everyone is wrong about this character; the writers honestly believe that the asshole they've written is a morally virtuous person.

Yeah, that's bad writing, and it annoys me, too. I don't understand how dense you'd have to be as a writer not to notice that your character who's supposed to be good keeps doing awful things. Is it because the writer him/herself has a slippery grasp of right vs. wrong? Or do they just fail to grasp that you can't tell everyone character X is an honest, good person and then show them burning down an orphanage and act like that doesn't undermine their supposed goodness.

I wholeheartedly agree.
