Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nah. He's still a dick.
I think the writers think they've cleaned him up enough, though.
there is almost certainly a mommy boar nearby, and when she comes by she is going to be PISSED.
Wasn't that what Sawyer was trying to accomplish?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Shortest Fanfic Evar.
-- Boston seems different. Maybe it's the Big Dig being done.
-- You went missing when, Dr. Shepherd?
-- 2004. Winter, in Australia. I guess it was August.
-- Ohhhh dude. You missed it.
-- Missed what?
-- The Red Sox won the World Series that fall. And again, two years later.
-- What?? [psychotic break]

Since Sawyer apparently thinks the pissing-on-his-shirt boar is male, I don't think so.

I'm probably not the right judge, because all I could think was, "Hmmm, I bet baby boar meat is a lot more tender than grown-up boar meat." Although, practically speaking, there'd be more meat if little piggy growed up.
I'd like to argue that he's not woobified. I'd like to, but I'm not sure I can. Still, he killed a guy in cold blood, and it was the wrong guy. And let's face it, he was stupid about it. Just some minor fact-checking might have been in order. I'm not saying it would've been easy, but if you're going to kill someone dead, take some steps to make sure it's the right someone. His source wasn't so much relible, right? He'd already screwed him once.
And then he withheld the but-your-daddy-was-so-prouuuuud from Jack. Mean.
So, there you have it. Still a hot jackhole with no excuse. Being persecuted by a wild boar. Island justice, baby.

So what was he saying when he was wiggling the pig? Even if he got his genders mixed up, I thought he was using it as a lure.

That's what he was doing.

Except -- they stared off. I thought it was animal totem absolution.
Or whatever. It feels to me like the writers are assiduously asserting that it's okay to like him, he's just damaged a bit.
Me? I don't care. Hot either way. Preferred Spike in S2, and all that. But they're erasing the big jagged edges of his persona.

But daddy boars don't care about baby boars.
This man knows NOTHING about porcine social systems. IJS.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does being woobified mean he's no longer a jackhole, or just that there's now a much larger fanfic contingent that won't treat him that way? 'Cause I have no real desire to wrap him in a woobie blanket and feed him soup, traumatic childhood or no. Unless "woobie blanket" and "soup" are euphemisms for "hot monkey sex," in which case I'm all for it.
