Badassifist

Noun:
A character archetype that is against violence/fighting, but is capable of enforcing their pacifism through their sheer badassery. They are characterized by their constant effort to deescalate all conflict, sometimes, but not always, even when the conflict is justified.

Uncle Iroh is such a badassifist!

My favorite character to watch in movies is always the badassifist.

Something about the way a badassifist can stop people from fighting with their own fists is kinda hot, not gonna lie...

Get the Badassifist mug.

Badass

Someone that is just too much human for any one person.

She was as badass as Colin Farrell's character in Swat in real life. Unlike some of these trigger happy dudes with big heads, she wasn't full of shit, she was the real deal, and was everything she said she was, from a Navy Seal to an unselfish socially responsible human being when she left her LAPD Swat job and went home.
