Not that I wish to dispute Jeph's value judgement on this occasion - I happen to agree with it. But. In general, I disagree with the notion that any value judgement decreed by Jeph is beyond dispute.

I would say: don't be that guy, even if you are a woman.
Last time I checked, racist women was a thing that existed. In my country, a woman is even the leader of the main far-right racist party.

Let's put it this way (and it is a good summation of how I view the 'word of god' argument): As the writer, Jeph knows what the characters are meant to be. So, if he says a character is meant to be an asshole, then they are an asshole, even if he doesn't quite nail portraying them like that.
Is it cold in here?:
In this case I think he painted a clear picture of what Percival is.

Sorry, but I don't care about how Jeph meant to portray the character. 'Arsehole' is a purely subjective viewpoint, and the way I personally feel about the character is the way I feel about them.
Shall we discuss Tilly? A character Jeph considered, in your own words, to be cute and funny? Shall we ask everyone whether Tilly is cute and funny? Is everyone obliged to feel that way about them?
