Tony soprano being a "softie" ads more to the show. You do not take your average criminal for the show, you add something.
Just like shows/sitcoms about families - you do not show average/most common family.
As for that:
"These assfucks are some of the most non-badass, badasses that have ever graced the airwaves."
Maybe not baddass enough compared to TV badasses, but they are much more badasss than 99.9% of real life bikers.
In fact I even got annoyed of how they casually kill somebody, it got so unrealistic... They killed people more often than real bikers just slapped someone
