Do you all agree that he deserves my respect?
I do.
Tyki isn't an asshole, per se. He's harsh. To quote him "I don't give a f*ck". He ignores social rules, because they're annoying, and this quite frankly means he offends a lot of people at first. Me and Tyki share that we hate most social restrictions, and don't get on well with them. The difference is that he solves this by no longer participating in them, instead acting the way he feels comfortable acting, regardless of what anyone else cares.
However, when he warms up to you, eventually, he's a decent guy. He has a vivid imagination, and is a loyal friend, although his friendship is hard to earn. He's absolutely worthy of your respect, as he has mine.
