   Indeed, masculine and heterosexual Good Guys are quite well represented   
   in literature.  As, even, are female Good Guys.  I hadn't however   
   noticed that any of these groups were less likely to be merciful / more   
   likely to seek revenge than effeminate or gay Good Guys.   
      
   (Ah, I see that Wiktionary has a third sense of "pansy" meaning "timid".   
   I can't say that letting a cripple live to the pain seems overly brave   
   to me.  Perfectly understandable, of course, but not calling for any   
   great courage.)
