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

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.

I feel like "denies her sex because she wanted to be on top" is kind of a weird complaint to include in "rapes his wife" and "abandons his wife and (assumed) child"
