I guess if Tyrion is a favorite, then it is hard to like Tywin given how unbelievably cruel he was to Tyrion with regards to Tysha (Tyrion's ex-wife). There are other instances of Tywin douchebaggery as well, but this is the non-spoiler thread, and I think that is the only one covered on the show so far. Oh wait, Tyrion did tell Varys in the last episode about how Tywin put Tyrion in charge of all the toilets and drains in Casterly Rock as his big role once he came of age. Tywin is a Douchebag.
His results may be stellar in terms of weilding power and money, but I am not one who thinks the end always justifies the means, especially when it comes to your own children.
I suppose Westeros is a cruel place though. Tywin never went as far as Sam's father, Lord Tarly, who basically told Sam he had to join the NW or else he would die from a hunting "accident" very soon. Ouch.
