Right, but that's not the problem. The problem is that if they're supposed to be the butt of a joke, why is the protagonist servicing them? I'm not left with the impression it's supposed to cater to humiliation fetishes since it's not a tag and the game itself doesn't really steer into it. And for that matter, if it's supposed to be the butt of a joke, why does normal society in the game treat them like a third class?
There's nothing wrong with them being a joke but then they should be a *joke* rather than your exclusive clientele you're actively hiding you do business with from your land lord. You get what I'm saying here?
