He is accompanied by a well-read, misanthropic, telepathic dog named Blood, who helps him find women to rape, in exchange for which Vic finds food for the dog.
You seem to think the movie is about moral characters. It’s about people scraping by after World War IV. Yes, IV. Vic and Blood have a mutual survival pact.
what a great movie.

I don’t think “women to rape” is precisely covered by the pyramid of needs, so maybe call it mutual interests?
I’m not going to explain the entire plot of the movie to you, so go ahead and think what you’d like about it.
I think you’ll have some uphill work to do if you want to paint Harlan Ellison as being in favor of rape.

Please?
You can read the Wikipedia page since you’re interested. It has a detailed plot summary:

It’s not a movie about heroes or good people or morality or kindness or love or compassion.
It’s a story about food and friendship. Probably one of the most disturbing endings I’ve ever seen.
It’s honestly pretty good from what I remember
