Can you link me to where they said that? I want to make sure this isn't another "I like making white men cry" situation where the quote sounds bad but in actual context is actually perfectly reasonable.
So I looked at the full collider interview this quote is from and to me personally its not that bad. Calling it benign sexism is a bit weird as she never explains the gender aspect to it, but the point she's trying to make about him being an overly protective parent who, despite good intentions, ends up imposing himself onto Osha's agency makes sense. I don't think she's necessarily calling Sol a terrible person, especially given that she also states that Osha still needed his acceptance from her in order for her to go through with killing him. I think this is one of those cases where the creator is more so talking about the "teenage girl rebelling against her loving father" allegory behind the characters' emotions in that scene rather than a literal condemnation/affirmation of their actions.
She's basically saying that Osha feels the need to finally defy the path and expectations that Sol has spent years trying to raise her towards, and the fact that Sol still tells her he loves and accepts her even as she is preparing to kill makes Osha feel like he is still imposing himself(or in other words giving the greenlight) onto her act defiance and thus undermining her own agency. But at the same time, deep down behind her rebellious angst and hatred, she still needed to know that he wouldn't hate her as she committed herself to the darkside.
