>>3933484The game makes a minor point about how late stage capitalism causes many people to become disenfranchised. It doesn't justify Jimmy, in fact it's what makes him so vile. Jimmy's at a pretty low point part due to systemic issues beyond his control, bad shit just happens to people for no reason. His critical failure is directing his hostility towards the individual, scapegoating someone who's at a somewhat better point in life but is also unhappy with the way things are. He ironically enforces the "system" by making his coworkers suffer, dragging them down when he's unable to go up. So yeah, he sucks and no amount of suffering he previously went through justifies his actions. He's not a rapist because muh capitalism, he's a rapist because he's a terrible person, one who has suffered and then concluded that other people should suffer too.
