I wonder if it's true that character types lose meaning as they become an aesthetic. I'm not learned enough to really unpack that. Perhaps they just become aesthetics because females tend to buy more things or are easier to market to or are more likely to pick up on vibes en masse and turn them into cultural tropes. I hate making generalizations but oh well I just did. I haven't even seen Priscilla
Although I agree that if a character doesn't bring something at least slightly new to the table it probably hasn't accomplished much.
