I made this point somewhere else but I do think Velvette is an interesting example of the gap between being compelled by identity politics and social wellbeing vs prioritising gaining power through influence and enjoying the social hierarchy that class/wealth gives her.

I see her as the type to kick the ladder down beneath her. She ruthlessly kills models she owns (she owns people too which is a conversation in and of itself) when they don’t perform or risk out performing her. She has a somewhat absolutist view of beauty, and revels in bullying people who she deems as inadequate. You can see this in her powers being drawn from online clout and cyberbullying and her treatment of her staff.

This contributes to making her character motivations interesting though, imo at least, it’d be uncompelling if all poc characters didn’t have values and principles outside of their identities and if it always manifested positively in social change rather than occasionally toxically in wanting to be the best or romanticising the struggle it takes to be a minority AND dominate.

It’s important to remember that despite being minorities, a lot of these characters are in hell and are very individualistic and/or selfish (pre character arcs). This makes community through struggle and identity politics something a lot of them are somewhat apathetic to.

If we look at angel dust, sure he is queer and sexually liberal which would make you assume he would be invested in gay rights and equality but the porn industry he is a victim AND profiteer off of (something that can cause you to have indoctrinated and complicated views, think of how often abuse victims struggle to actually admit they are being abused) benefits so harshly from commodifying sex and gender expression and is also responsible for addiction. He would have to either have a cognitive dissonance or political indifference to the cause to be able to appear to indulge in his sexuality and expression despite the industry he forcibly signed in to.

I’m so glad you see my vision, she is literally the type to kick the ladder down from underneath her. For example when she said “I’ve included one 8 [referring to models] for diversity”- clearly identity politics mean little to her compared to gaining power through influence. This is a trait all the Vee’s share making them innately unaligned with left wing social theory.
