the motivations for why a human woman in a human-supremacist Empire would be attracted and motivated to perpetuating that order without some simmering psychiatric condition influencing her decisions.
Why isn’t “she’s a psychopath” a good answer here tho? I doubt that the nazi party for example didn’t have a very increased rate of psychopaths in their ranks.
It could be a good answer if the series actually showed her going out of her way to be a psychopath. Otherwise, my read is that she comes off as a “i’m just following orders” sociopath. Dedra might actually be getting off on being a mass abuser behind the scenes but the show hasn’t communicated that well enough.

She definitely enjoyed torturing Bix in season 1
I might have to try to rewatch those scenes, the pacing of the show at times is slow enough that seem to completely forget things.
As its only shown that one time, a part of me wonders if she’s just doing a act to try to intimidate Bix.
