It is really hard for me to tell whether Spike, Veronica, and Dean are supposed to be villains or victims or both simultaneously, or who's being condemned for what.
I agree that it's a muddle, but after waaayyy too much thought, my best guess is that it's a fuck you to the characters and a celebration of the fact that they ultimately get what they deserve (from a certain POV) - it's not clear-cut punishment, but it could be read as karma. It's the only thing that makes Veronica's inclusion make sense to me, because by the end of the series, it seemed like she was more hated than beloved by a big part of the fandom.
Initially, I'd counted this as one of the two vids dealing with race, but now I'm just not sure.
Yeah, I think people tried to read it that way (logically enough), but the vidder was trying to do something else or, more likely, trying to do too many things at once and letting the point get lost.
