He sometimes tell Outlanders sorry I had to do this, feels nervous around his father sometimes, and is frightened of Scar so Kion's quite likely to be one of gentlest lions.

Scar just promised Shenzi you clan can stay me and I promise I'll help you not starve, but in Never Roar Again he wasn't mean the young cub just misunderstood his own quick action of bravery, he was brave enough to stop the  hyenas from killing his mother. So in that episode Kion was brave and thoughtful not evil, there are just lots of people who pay more attention to quotes than personal action.

It's Simba who rude to Outlanders like Reirei Kion just feels like he has to do everything Simba's way until it's his own turn to rule, that's the emotion that made Kion chase Reirei and her pack aways from the Kupatana Celebration

Plus Kion conquers Janja quite wisely, so he's more likely to be a grown up lion who experienced plenty of trouble to know it's better if you think things through. I think the main thing is this series didn't let Kion actually learn the accurate way to accept the ecosystem so he's been tricked into thinking anyone who eats meat is mean, he hasn't been taught enough of the ecosystem yet to know how to judge the balance of nature accurately, he just knows Simba's opinions of wildlife. But kion doesn't really have the confidence to speak to his father about such serious issues. Whether relative or someone else Simba's not tolerant and I'd say that's why Kion feels a little upset near his father. What this cub of Simba's should learn is how to be true to yourself even if others try to force you to be someone else.
