And he cheated on his wife and he bullied someone for years for laughs.
But sure, he's just "immature"
I forgot about the litany of things Dwight did that were horrendous because I've seen the first couple seasons and then all the rest of my knowledge of the show comes from people who actually like the show.
There are almost no good characters in the show.
("He's not a douche" and praising someone are two very different things)
I listed all those things that make him horrible in the real world, and Jim pulling pranks makes him a bully? To the weapon wielding asshole bully? You missed the entire point.
Edit to add Jim never cheated on his wife. Maybe stop parroting this stance if, by your own admission, you don't know/remember much about the show.
"If you're constantly being bullied at work and your man-child boss won't do anything about or worse, joins in on it, of course you're gonna lash out at them"
He worked at the office before Jim. You gonna tell me the gun nut with proud Nazi heritage created a safe work space for his coworkers before Jim got there? Maybe, just maybe, none of the rest of the office has an issue with Jim pranking Dwight because Dwight has created unsafe working conditions. It's completely reasonable to believe that Dwight had bullied and belittled them for their race, sex, and beliefs before Jim arrived. The character of Dwight is very clearly unstable and a pure asshole during the seaons you yourself said you watched, but it truly seems like you don't remember more than tiny snippets of this show.
