As a female viewer, Dreykov (and the Red Room as a thinly veiled metaphor for the patriarchy, complete with gross villain quote about girls being the only resource the world has too much of) felt entirely credible, and despite some of the criticism I've seen, I didn't think he needed an additional ideology or agenda to be a plausible and hateable villain. As the saying goes: the cruelty is the point.
100 percent. I thought that line was the most chilling in the whole movie. It’s terrifying how many men see women as nothing but a resource.
