i'd agree mostly, although I will accept "nice at cost" with consequences that reverberate.

Disagree. This mindset is what gave me more grimmdark and anti-heroes than I can stomach. Treating people kindly despite being miserable and thinking that everyone owes you takes real strength. There's no way to be kind to everyone. Often it's a choice between two evils.
I take it that OP means kindness by mean/nice. It's just a style of communication otherwise. Acting impolite is OOC for a character that's nice and polite. It's also a sure way to make all the other characters hate the mean one.

This sounds like a possible mix between:

1) people believing that characters need to reflect the "proper" morality or the author is a bad person

2) writers who aren't skilled enough to write a more nuanced, complex good character

[(Anonymous)]

There are other ways to make interesting characters than by making them mean (like, say, Benton Fraser from Due South). If the character's not interesting that's because they're not well written. Being mean to others, morally ambiguous or whatever is also an overused lazy trope.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally I find someone choosing to be kind despite being given reasons to not choose kindness to be far more compelling than someone who has something bad happen and lashes out at everyone around them. It's easy as shit to be an asshole, it's so much harder to be kind.

What I don't like is when a kind character is a doormat, I like my kind characters with spines of steel but knowing when to use that.

well said.
