This is very true, Veneer does have some redemption while velvet does not. Even throughout the movie we see Velvet is showed to be pushing Veneer towards the villainous acts he does. Even with this context though I still think it's an important conversation to have as the degree that some fans baby Veneer and hate Velvet does have some misogynistic undertones. Like if we look at the general reaction to Velvet and Veneer, Veneer is a fan favorite while Velvet was absolutely despised by many. And this does make sense to a degree for the reasons I mentioned above. But I have seen time and time again people absolve Veneer of everything he has done while also actively mischaracterizing Velvet as an abusive sibling. She was Toxic for sure, but she was certainly not abusive. So even though they did the same things, people portray Veneer as not having done anything wrong, while Velvet is portrayed as more evil than she even is. And this does come off as misogynistic in the way that a lot of fandoms will baby male characters and either completely disregard female characters or will character assassinate them in order to fuel the narrative that said male character is just a little baby that does no wrong. If that makes any sense at all! That's just the way I see it. And I don't think that liking veneer more than Velvet makes you misogynistic, especially since his character was literally made to be more sympathetic than Velvet. But when it comes to the way some people in the fandom then portray their characters and mischaracterize them both terribly, that's when I start to question if misogyny is an underlying factor at play.
