What you said here about Sad Robots is very relevant to a fic I'm currently writing, which I can't really talk about because anonymity, but I appreciate you mentioning it!
One thing I actually can talk about: I think Remus Lupin often gets caught in the middle of this trope, because he is experiencing systemic oppression, but the solutions that are commonly offered (both in canon and in fic) are on the personal and not the systemic scale. Especially because Remus is the only werewolf we really know, and not part of a community of other werewolves, his self-loathing does read as very personal.
