Veneno places transgender identity and activism at the absolute center, often putting ideology over narrative nuance. Characterization is heavily identity-driven, with storylines sometimes feeling like vehicles for messaging rather than naturally unfolding drama. Classic storytelling tropes, tension, or realism can get lost under the weight of identity politics.

The show very intentionally undermines traditional views on gender, family, and, to some extent, morality, recasting them through a modern, progressive lens. Traditional masculinity and religion are either marginalized or presented in critical ways, pushing a revisionist take on Spanish cultural heritage to serve contemporary ideological goals.

Veneno depicts nearly all alternative or traditional worldviews as oppressive, with little genuine debate or nuance. Dissenting opinions are usually presented as caricatured or villainous. The narrative atmosphere shows clear ideological uniformity, creating a near-monoculture in values and character arcs.
