I don't think it particularly matters what framing is used in regards to Venat. Her actions led to the purposeful genocide of her own species through a twisted form of racial replacement and eugenics.

Though as the many sources linked throughout this very thread showcase, Venat was fully aware of the consequences of her actions and went ahead with them anyway. The attempt to take agency away from her is little more than a rather blatant attempt to try and downplay the consequences of her actions.

It's alright, really. Nobody here is going to think any less of someone who is fond of Venat just because she engaged in atrocities. Much in the same way that someone can enjoy Garrosh and Sylvanas from World of Warcraft or Wesker from the Resident Evil franchise whilst still acknowledging the blood that stains their hands.

Though if one's enjoyment of a character stems from them being branded overwhelmingly correct and never criticised or held accountable for even the most reprehensible of actions then I imagine that's where a lot of people start raising eyebrows.

Thankfully after the false accusations of 'sexism' I think it's safe to suggest that certain posters will say and do anything in order to move the goalposts away from accountability for Venat. The latest buzzword, it seems, is now 'agency'.
