@ethanclark I think you're engaging in a little bit of retroactive rehabilitation of Terezi's image here haha. Like, "remorseful of their actions"? Meteor Terezi is quite possibly Terezi at her most ruthless! Okay, let's set aside the time she got Dave and John killed (the first troll to even try to kill a human) - those were alternate timelines, maybe that doesn't count. But this is how Terezi reminisces to Dave about the violence of the world she left behind:

She's not remorseful of all the lynching and lusus-feeding she took part in, she's just found a very solid excuse for taking part in it (for justice, duh!). Does Terezi maybe seem like a nicer person than Vriska despite it all? You're absolutely not alone in thinking so. But that's exactly the point that others in the thread are making; despite their pretty similar histories of violence, Terezi has found a niche where it's considered friendly ribbing when she roleplays trying to eat Nepeta's babies, and Vriska hasn't. Sure, maybe the reason Vriska hasn't found that niche isn't literally, textually misogyny, but let's use our close reading glasses here, yeah?
It's a little disingenuous, too, to describe Nepeta as someone who "thinks that the hemospectrum hierarchy is bad". When we first meet her, she's just too ignorant to even understand what it is! I don't think that paints Nepeta as a paladin of equality who would never, EVER find herself subject to subconscious biases. I think it paints her as the kind of person who could absolutely be naive to the way that the subtleties of macro social hierarchy are influencing her on a micro level.
