He is kind of selfish, naïve and mischievous. And Gumball didn't force Darwin to scam the school with him, Darwin could have just said "no", but he chose to come along because he wanted to be with Carrie.

But despite Gumball's greed in this episode, he still chose to sacrifice all his candy for the sake of Darwin and Carrie's safety.

He was not an asshole to start with, he wasn't selfish in season 1 or 2 episodes like The Spoon, eager to help a charity out or The Storm encouraging Alan to attack him for Carmen to see he still loves her, he wasn't mischievous, just prone to making colossus mistakes, he never meant for anything bad to happen, he may be depicted pretty badly in most later episodes but he hasn't always been an asshole, Getting Darwin involved wasn't what I meant, steeling everyone's candy was what I meant.

I always used to like and support Gumball for always having good intentions, not for being an asshole
