in a crude way
It's just a code switch: the exact same behaviour can be seen as the acts of a despicable hoe or as the belated journey of a neglected housewife to sexual self-fulfillment and exitement, like a flower's late blossom. Same with hutch, it's like Schroedinger's cat in porn: in one view a cuck, in the other a hopeless and faithful romantic - both the same for a neutral behavioural observer, who sees just a passive male waiting. That's the power of the narrative playing in the viewer's mind. In a way saying "hoe" in such a way like TheDuke does is something like being the last romantic nowadays.a romance full of desire
Question is: is it the intention of the dev to keep it that wide open for interpretation, to present it in such a way, that both readings remain plausible, or does he have a worldview, a "message" (not a good word) to convey? As I understand it currently, he has, and that is a third reading, I'm afraid: that of a pessimistic realism which is neither nor. Both codes mentioned above are but coatings of something which is much less exciting and more human at the same time. Hurt and ageing people acting under pressure.
