This. I think people love Drew because he isn't ugly like Hunter and has a thick veneer of civility and charm. If Drew didn't have the model of a hot futa people wouldn't put up with half of his bullshit.
Completely agree. Hell, rather than a redemption arc, I think I might fall out of my chair laughing if Sterling "avenges his parents" by doing to Drew what he did to David--granted, Ophelia probably wouldn't be impressed, but something about it almost feels like a tongue-twister: "I'm going to fuck the asshole of the dick who cucked my mom!" And if Sterling actually manages to mindbreak Drew by trying to put him in a wheelchair with his cock, all the better. I just don't think it'll happen, or really even want it to, because we'd never actually trust him afterwards. Maybe for a What-If?
Drew understands what Hunter is doing and even when confronting him, "condemns him" but ultimately does nothing to stop him. Drew knows the type of monster Hunter is and still lets him do his thing. Yes, Hunter made Drew into a master manipulator with a warped sense of right and wrong. But at what point of the explicit and systematic violation of your closest family and friends do you draw the line between "just following orders" and being directly involved?
Drew freaked out because he thought it was all completely unnecessary--his morality is half-assed because he, like Hunter, prioritizes the ends over the means. If they can't get what they want without resorting to underhanded methods, then those methods are no longer underhanded. Once he saw Sterling in action Drew went from outraged and incredulous to merely uneasy...hence the temptation. Even the
possibility of failure was enough for him to discard his "morality" and use the wine.
At this point Drew isn't a misguided lamb, he continually uses manipulative tactics to get what he wants and is complacent in the drugging and raping of all his family members.
Oh, I didn't need to explain that. Whoops.
So yeah, though I imagine WWG will try to make it more grey than that, can we stop pretending he's not just a charismatic villain?
People want to believe, man. Especially in porn, and at least doubly--if not exponentially--in h-games.
They want to fuck whoever's hot, or see whatever configuration of characters, actions, and contexts scratch their itch. Does it need to make sense? To a certain extent, yes, but they'll hand-wave whatever they need to in order to get off and complain about it later.
