Not according to the arguments I've read. He's applauded as a person who protects the innocent and is the "new kind of grimm". The way some posters go on and on and on, it seems wesen wouldn't have a chance without good ole Nick to watch out for their backs.

Those who seen Grimm as a police story with grimm sideline and those who seen Grimm as a Grimm story with a police sideline. So we have Nick both police and Grimm so it only natural that the two types of views would see different sides to the series.
Those who wanted a straight police show thought Nick should resign if he wanted to be a Grimm the others didn't see a problem, so the character generated some good debates on the forum. So one who watch Grimm for the Grimm side of the series likes the character Nick others didn't. As was posted above the characters only acts the part that is written so if a character cause this sometime heat debate that alone shows the actor or actress pulled off the part.
Thank you js. Very well put.

Jessie James was a thief who shot passengers when they would not surrender their wallets. Billy the Kid, as ruthless a killer and cattle rustler as the West had, Bonnie and Clyde and the other bank robbers of the Depression, the bootleggers who sold rot gut(what their product did in real life), and others too numerous to mention. There are many theories why people look up to rule breakers and law flouters, but its a long and established tradition. And these were real people, not fictional ones.
Right.....right......right. But here's the other side of the issue. As I said, I hold our men in blue with high regard. If Grimm portrayed Nick and company as a group of active duty service men who burned our country's flag because wesen don't get a fair chance in the US, you can bet there'd be a HUGE outcry on the forum from offended posters, questioning how the show could portray our armed forces as anti-American.
People have no issue calling Adalind a rapist, Nick a rapist, and Juliette whatever they can think of. There are just as many rebuttals that neither Adalind or Nick committed rape.
But when it comes to a comment about Nick being a corrupt cop, all of the sudden the same people resort to the usual, "well, it's just a fantasy. Nick's not a corrupt cop. If you want a procedural, watch Law and Order".
I don't hear anyone suggesting the movie, "The Accused" when the subject of rape comes up. I don't hear anyone recommending "Law and Order" when the debates come up about whether Juliette is guilty as an accomplice in Kelly's murder.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
