Yes.
The role of the Trickster - aka Delinquent, Sex addict, Drug addict, Vulgar, Self-indulgent Maniac - is to expose the tyranny of a corrupt King, who believes himself a Hero.
May we never lump that in with Fe hero's journey.
The Trickster does not view himself as a Hero. He doesn't give a flying load about his role in society. Yet he fulfills it nonetheless. He has the volition to chase what he wants; he is ruled by the thrill of the chase; and he is relentless. If he has any morals at all, they come from his own Ji, rather than from society. Thus he may stumble into a hero role and leave it behind as soon as he's free to return to indulging himself. Or, better yet, when a more exciting challenge presents itself.
Meanwhile, many a powerful Je leader is lacking in Ji. The lack of Ji leads to high instances of hypocrisy, just as the lack of Pi leads to reckless abandon in Pe types. That lack of integrity is what leaves the Self-proclaimed "Hero" vulnerable to the Trickster.
May we never fail to acknowledge that roles exist, whether we choose to embody them or not. Therefore, the conscience-driven Je type, may want to embody the hero- but may instead, embody the Persuader, the False Messiah, or the Tyrant. Likewise, the self-indulgent delinquent Se Trickster, may embody the Hero in a wide-spread social way; at times when disruption, chaos and "stick it to the man" is most needed.
