I was just reading a thread on Twitter that started off as "Unintentional Fridge Horror" but sort of mutated into Woker Than Thou
Someone expressed the opinion that Sarastro, in Mozart's The Magic Flute, is a creepy cult leader and kidnapper (true, insofar as it goes) and furthermore, that the Queen of the Night should have won (what).
No.
The story is quite sexist, and certainly has, just, so much background racism; but no.
The Queen of the Night not only promises her daughter to the first handsome prince to stroll along, but once she is reunited with her daughter she tries to force said daughter to murder her dad. When she is refused, she threatens to disown her kid. Later, she knowingly promises that same daughter to a would-be rapist.

Maybe, just m a y b e, Sarastro had good reason for the whole 'parental abduction' deal!

This. There is sexism involved in how the story was written. But in the story, as written, the Queen of the Night is terrible. She is a villain.
