Are there any truly unsympathetic MALE characters in this strip?
Tergon:
I think the closest I can come to a truly unsympathetic character, in any fiction, would be The Joker. Even then the writers did take a few shots at making him seem a little sympathetic, but then he simply laughs it off, acknowledges that he truly doesn't care about anything in his past that might make him sympathetic, and proceeds to murder a busload of orphans for the sheer fun of it.
The closest we can come to someone with antics like that would be, of course, Pintsize. Who has indicated that he enjoys traumatising orphans, and has a great fondness for weapons of mass destruction.
Therefore, the only male character in QC for whom one cannot feel true sympathy is Pintsize. Even though he's only technically "male" and the lack of sympathy is mostly because he's not nothing to be sympathetic about. Little dude is a ball of tiny blue chaos, there's nothing about him to feel bad for.

I beg to differ about "its" gender. Or the proper terminology to use. I dunno, Gender Fluid?
Tergon:
It's been established that, for whatever it is worth, Pintsize is a male character. It may mean nothing more than a preprogrammed setting, but he identifies as specifically male, so he counts.

For all we know, Pintsize's downloads of porn might've corrupted the memory abit, so in that one instance, he was a she for a fleeting moment.
