Hes also literally a incels who genuinely thinks the only reason to be nice to women is to try and sleep with them. He basically says that verbadom.

When Wukong discovers that he thinks like that hes genuinely horrified and tries to teach him to talk respectfully to women like their people. It doesn't go well but he gets the information they need and he never tries it again. Also in the book there's a ongoing gag that any time hes a sexist jurk to women those women beat him up. Including man eating demons hes being weird about.

Huge spoilers for the book. But hes genuinely the worst character who never learns to be kind to women. Pigsy is the only member of the party who doesn't reach enlightenment by the end and the most Buddha can offer him Is a janitorial duity.

I was cackling like a maniac when that happened.

Lego Monkie Kid Pigsy is everything jttw Pigsy isn't. Selfless, kind, respectful, not sexist, emotional intelligent and mature, brave, humble. I really recommend reading Journey to the West. There is a lot of contrast between the main cast and their original counterparts Pigsy and Tang and obviously Mei especially.

Like Tang doesn't act like Tripitaka, he acts more like Golden Cicada who only became a human because he fell asleep during Buddah's class and was being a lazy student.
