My guess is that his “sexiness” factor is supposed to make him appealing, since she loves having him dressed like that. But like you said, it just doesn’t work. And honestly, I can’t think of any time I’ve seen people lust over and sexuality an abusive pimp. I don’t think I’ve even seen that in those shitty smut novels that women love to drool over. You know, the ones with fae princes or werewolves that’ll threaten to kill you, but you could skate on those abs. Again, it doesn’t help that she swings between wanting him to be used as a serious example of an abuser and “just a silly little sexy guy!!

”. I’m remembering that he’s likely named after her dead cat, so that must contribute to her loving him so much. His voice actor is also a nut, but he can barely keep a consistent accent for Val, so who cares what he says?
