The bad boy is a cultural archetype that is variously defined and often used synonymously with the historic terms rake or cad: a male who behaves badly, especially within societal norms.
In films and other narratives, a bad boy is a type of antihero, sometimes a trickster. Such characters reject authority and traditional moral standards, following their own unique code of ethics that can unsettle those around them.[1] Despite their often questionable or near-criminal habits, they are frequently depicted in a way that makes them relatable or even likable. "Bad boys typically bring a lot of fire, defiance and eroticism to the story, along with a sense of danger".[1]
Bad boy characters came to the fore with the counterculture of the 1960s. An influential example is Paul Newman's character in Cool Hand Luke (1967).[1] Jim Stark, James Dean's character in Rebel Without a Cause, is also considered an example of the bad boy archetype,[2][3] although he has a strong moral compass beneath the rebellion.
An article in The Independent compared "bad boys" with men who had a particular combination of personality traits, sometimes referred to as the "dark triad", and reported that a study found that such men were likely to have a greater number of sexual affairs.[4]
When having a criminal connotation, the "bad boys" archetype was popularized by the American TV show Cops, which premiered in 1989 using the song "Bad Boys" by Inner Circle as its opening theme.[5] In the U.S., the criminal "bad boys" archetype may be more likely to be placed on Black and Hispanic youth and men.[6][7]

Shiver Hohojiro (Japanese: ホホジロ フウカ, Hepburn: Hohojiro Fūka), Frye Onaga (Japanese: オナガ ウツホ, Hepburn: Onaga Utsuho) and Big Man (Japanese: マンタロー, Hepburn: Mantarō) are a trio of characters in the Splatoon video game series. They first appeared in Splatoon 3 (2022) as an idol pop music group known as Deep Cut (Japanese: すりみ連合, Hepburn: Surimi rengō; lit. "Fish-Paste Union"), in which they provide content/news updates to the player as well as being responsible for some of the music that appears during matches and Splatfests. They also serve as antagonists in the game's single-player campaign, Return of the Mammalians. Deep Cut returned in the Splatoon spin-off Splatoon Raiders. Created by Splatoon 3 co-creator Seita Inoue, the group was designed as antitheses to the series' previous musical duos, with a lean more into the bad boy archetype as well as using animal motifs to represent being predators of squid and octopuses. Additionally, they were designed to centre around the game's themes of chaos and the number 3; each member's physical design and music were also inspired by a different international culture. Shiver and Frye are voiced by Anna Sato and Laura Yokozawa respectively. Shiver, Frye and Big Man have received praise from both critics and fans, with Big Man being considered a fan favourite online, but the characters would cause intense conflict within the Splatoon community during Splatfests. Upon her reveal, Shiver was subjected to speculation from outlets about being non-binary. Nintendo would later deny these claims, but fans would continue to headcanon the concept.
Ratchet is a slang term in American hip hop culture that, in its original sense, was a derogatory term used to refer to an uncouth woman, and may be a Louisianan dialect form of the word "wretched". In the 2000s–2010s, the word became loosely connotative of denoting overt confidence, defiance, fervor, or otherwise being descriptive of actions displaying boisterous and unruly behavior (similar to that of the male archetype "bad boy") when attributed to a person. It is primarily used in street slang and is popular among African American women. Originally explicitly derogatory, the term can be interpreted as positive or derogatory, based on the subject. The term may also be used to describe a handgun.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
