I think the key one is independence? (or thinking of something else?) "badass" characters loudly display independence by breaking rules/norms/etc rarer but still existing, independence+integrity can be a thing and actually the exaggerated chars seems derived (ish?) from those

because there's always some nominal "code" that the asshole character has it's just mostly it's a bad code that only sounds possibly ok if you don't think to hard about it like they're mean but "because radically honest"
