the fact that utena’s hair is pink is so fascinating to me because normally pink cartoon girls are in some way defined by their femininity, whether their performance of it is sincere or feigned. princess bubblegum, for example, is a character whose relationship to her role is inextricable from her relationship to her femininity, and the pinkness of her entire being (not only her hair but also her skin and usually her clothes) signifies that facade of femininity that is gradually complicated throughout the show (and also she is simply the greatest character of all time, but I digress). utena, however, does not perform femininity, but in fact masculinity. she only embodies more feminine inhabitations under duress, and it is clear that it is never her preferred mode, but rather a restrictive mode being forced upon her. and yet, her masculine presentation/inhabitation conflicts with her pink hair, which we automatically register as a signifier of utmost femininity.
however, I suggest that instead of reading utena’s hair as pink, we should instead read it as a combination of white and red. pink is, in many ways, a more diluted version of red. diluted by the color white. white being the color of the prince, the color dios and every member of the student council (save for nanami) wears. red is the color of roses, blood, sex, and violence. akio’s car is red, as are his clothes, and anthy’s rose bride dress. during moments of abject violence, red and black become the dominant colors on screen, the colors of utena’s school uniform as well as akio’s every day outfit. and touga, of course, has red hair. not red as in orange in the sense that juri could be called a redhead, but pure, vibrant, blood red. touga’s hair indicates his relationship to sexual violence, not only in terms of its color, but also its length. and like touga, utena is also a victim of grooming and sexual abuse. but unlike touga, it is not the thing that defines her identity.
her hair is pale red, mixed with the white of dios. her identity is one of striving for the ideal of princehood. and yet it is not white, but pink, muddied by the violence she must endure and implicitly exert to attain that ideal. the godlike perfection of the prince is inextricable from the abuse necessary to undergird it. if touga’s hair and outfit illustrate that through the stark contrast of red and white, utena’s hair color illustrates it through the combination of both those aspects mixed up in one person. to have pink hair is to have noble intentions problematized by an exploitative system. and the fact that we, as the audience, automatically associate pink with girlishness illustrates that point via our gut reaction to undermine her masculinity by pointing out, “but she has pink hair!!!” her identity is constantly being complicated by external factors, such as society’s judgments of a girl who wants to be a prince, or the hollow promise of what princehood even means in the first place.

Positioning Louis as the "Edwardian wife who becomes trapped by her husband" in a literal sense does no justice to analyzing his actual place and role as a Black man in his society and in his relationship with Lestat. Any interpretation or analysis you do of him when it comes to their relationship cannot be stripped of the racial aspect because it's constantly there. Texts analyzing Edwardian wives (and particularly ones this fandom loves to bring up) typically were white and the dissection of their place in societal rules are always viewed from the aspect of gender that is within these texts only allowed to white women, but never to Black men or even Black women. And gender and race become inseparable when you discuss the latter, no matter how people may view it.
This is why I can't take this approach to analyzing Louis' story seriously because if you don't consider the racial aspect in his relationship even to himself and his sexuality, what's the point? You're still centering the standards that were more placed upon white male/female couples than you're willing to look into the unique structure of Black families, religion, their view of homosexuality and how that sooner heavily influences Louis than the family's "need" for him to be sold off to an Edwardian husband. Even in Louis' own story, him and Claudia being Black is more centered on than any demeaning "housewife" comment he tries to go against from Claudia's perspective. She makes that comment once, whereas we have at least two episodes from Louis' perspective that have very blatant hints and showings of the racism he still suffers from under the Jim Crow era and how it affects his self-worth as well as his relationship with Lestat who doesn't seem to take into consideration how any of the blatant racial aggressions and objections still affect Louis and what he considers to be important to achieve in his own life.
Then there's also the pointed topic of Louis' position as a Black man who is a pimp to the Black women he has as sex workers, as well as how his position as a Black father affects Claudia, another Black girl. If you insist on Louis being centered as this "Edwardian white wife" who is confined by his implicit gender in his marriage, where does that leave Claudia and the blatant misogyny and disrespect she gets from both him and Lestat? Lestat who is her white father abuses her. Positioning Louis within the strict confines of "being her mother" doesn't do her any favors because he didn't hesitate to choke her when he was deeply emotionally distressed, nor does it make him look any better when he's fine with chopping up her diaries and then delivering them on a silver platter so that Daniel, another white man, can read and dissect. Even if he does this under the sole pretense of "doing right by her", how does it in any way help when he also can't face up to his failures towards her?
