"Sulking" is an affectation. I suppose you could argue that "playing sulking victim" is redundant, as "sulking" contains an element of playing. But I don't think "sad" necessarily fits.

But I don't think "sad" necessarily fits. A sulking person plays the aggrieved person. (Victim, as you say.)

I think your second analysis is right on.
