He's old fashioned, I'll agree there, but he's not a womanizer or some other form of douchebag. He's concerned with pleasing the ladies in his game, rather than merely using them. Duke practically treats the women he meets like goddesses, so sure he's a hedonist, but I don't get a sexist vibe from him.

Course, this will probably prompt people to call me a hypocrite any way. Because apparently people think feminism means that men can't enjoy sex and beer or some other nonsense.

Eh. I think Duke is a womanizer, but the kind of womanizer that after you wake up in bed he's making eggs and already got a tenner for a cab home.

I guess it depends on how you define "womanizer". Personally, I prefer just to call them sluts or something of that nature if they're merely promiscuous. Men or women can both be sluts

Womanizing for me involves being an donkey-cave and using women, like pick-up artists and other forms of douchebags.

Well im thinking that im going to have to try DNF.... the only thing im afraid of is i might yell "THE DUKE IS DEAD" at some point but hell if there are as many zany points in it as i have heard (and this new tidbit that they upped the two weapon rule makes me happy)

He actually makes several quotes on how he disapproves of "Pimp slapping women" and other abusive gestures. Duke is actually a pretty nice guy all things considered. I find him far more entertaining and honest than 90% of other video game personalities.
