Except in this particular case it's not out of character for Joseph to do this especially when you look at his character in his own part. Joseph was made a man of his time with the good and the bad if you think it's out of character you misunderstood Joseph on the fundamental level.

No, a character is whatever the author wants them to be even if it breaks your own pre-conceived notions.

Creators have the power to make or break their characters. They can push them into new and exciting territory, or they can derail everything with a weirdly out-of-place twist. When it’s done right, it’s a masterpiece. When it’s not, it’s like, “What kind of alternate universe did I just step into?”

So yes, anime creators absolutely cross that line, intentionally or not. And as fans, we’re left to either applaud their genius or scratch our heads in confusion.

That's called an inconsistency and it's fairly common for authors to be inconsistent.
