Creep, yes.

Misogynistic, I don't think so. I think that's more the result of it being in the early/mid 90s and values just being different.

Being a good person by 90s standards is different to being a good person by 2020s standards.

Yes. I read something that said he's based on one of Larry David's friends that was a complete asshole that always had a new girlfriend, and David could never figure out why.

George was an awful person by 90s standards too though

That what was the start of the early 90 to 2010s was suppose to be like for a lot of shows.

Regardless he was supposed to be awful and not sympathized with short of his character reminding the audience that we all can be terrible and neurotic sometimes

Which is true for the entire main cast short of early seasons Elaine.

Hes self absorbed and does cartoonishly terrible things for comedic value. Poisons his boss, celebrates his dead wife, etc. One of the greatest sitcom characters of all time.

Yeah, George was purposely portrayed to be a bit of an irredeemable asshole. It's not just a case of "It was the 90s," either, since Al Bundy was also an asshole, but he had good traits, such as standing up for his family when actually pressed, and actually being less of a misogynist than he seemed on the surface.
