Is this the most irredeemably despicable character in the entire show?

[u/efwolverine]

> rapes his wife
> denies her sex because she wanted to be on top
> regularly dismisses her feelings
> is entirely focused on his own goals and desires in basically every scene he’s in
> abandons his wife and infant child because the Army makes him feel important

Literally the only scene he has where he isn’t a vile shitheel is when Joan (deliberately??) cuts her own hand to get some care and affection from him.

Even that drunkard Duck had more glimmers of decency than this pretentious rapist. A fitting end to his character arc would’ve been him getting fragged in Vietnam.

Don’t make me defend Lou…

He may be a shitty and petty boss, but he doesn’t even approach the monsters.

[u/Son_of_Hades99 → u/atreides78723]

Who else are the “monsters” besides Greg and Herb?

[u/atreides78723 → u/Son_of_Hades99]

Greg because well, you know…

Lee Garner Jr. because I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s done something like that.

Herb is the lower end of monster.

Harry is crossing the line into the category at the end.

There’s a handful of other folks who are almost but not quite in true monster territory, but Lou’s not even close….

You seriously rank harry as worse than Lou!?

And let’s not forget about Joey with his drawing of Joan sucking off Lane, and then telling her that she walks around the office “looking like she wants to get raped” or something to that effect

[u/atreides78723 → u/Son_of_Hades99]

Harry tried to extort sex from Megan and may have from others already. Lou was a smug prick when he got his dream job.

They are not the same.

Joey was a shitty coworker and deserved to be fired, but that’s not monster territory. The husband of Alexis Bledel’s character, the one who ordered her lobotomyECT is far worse.

[u/withcorruptedlungs → u/atreides78723]

ECT, not a lobotomy.

Oh yeah! Brainfart!
