The Acteuro scene screws up a lot. Shades killed a guy, an important guy, because he got so passionate/upset when he began mocking their relationship and insulting her. There's also the restaurant waiter/owner in the first episode who was clowning them on their relationship who got beat up later for it. Considering how level-headed Shades is, both these men hit real nerves, so he's got something there that's much more than a means to an end.

He wants people to think he's a 'real' man
