I've missed reading this. I know it wasn't THAT long ago, but this was the kind of exciting read I've desperately wanted. Utena/Baiser's lewd antics are 10/10.

I fully believe at this point the Mascots is really just a producer of an inter-galatic idol tv show starring magical girls.
It would explain why Mr. Black Mascot punished the previous leader for killing off the good magical girls & why both black & white is going around creating magical girls armies and hidden magical girl troops.
I'd even bet the white mascot focuses on "family friendly" stuff while the black mascot focuses on "adult" stuff.

The was the most natural and in character use of the word “simp” I’ve seen in a translation

The proper phrase is "undiagnosed" or better yet "neuroatypical", but in this case it is neither. It is quite rude to call it 'illness', especially when those are just traits of dealing with the mood swings that affect both males and females due to hormonal change around that age. Situations like this are due to multiple factors beyond diagnoses.
First, we need to discuss stress. When stressed, the body and mind work together to relieve it, regardless of the source. An example of bodily stress is hunger, which is due to a gradual decrease of sugars being readily available as the body uses them up. For a mental image of how stress is shared between the mind and body, just think of it as two containers that are connected to each other at the bottom. Each container has a different amount of volume, but pressure from stress in one container reduces the amount of free space in the other container. Thus we get to the iron-clad rule of all branches of psychology: Stress MUST be relieved, and the body and mind are put in an increasingly polarized state to spur action. The "heroes-and-villains" narrative is just the mind being highly polarized.
Now that I've explained the mechanics of stress, let me explain puberty in a nutshell: It is immense and persisting bodily stress from the rapid development of the body due to hormones.
Utena still falls within the realm of the norm mentality-wise, you are only thinking that it is a threat because she wields immense amount of power while in a stressful state, thus wish to attribute the fault of your stress from the situation to her through disparaging her (in a nutshell, 'blame'). That is also normal behavior. It'd be weirder if you weren't.
As for sadism, you are overthinking it. Sadism is just manufactured schadenfreude, simply put. People are just more inclined to feel stress from perceiving it due to societal taboo. As for what schadenfreude is, Avenue Q did a great song on it. Funny song, and I highly recommend giving it a listen if you are feeling stressed.
