#because she is a GOOD HEARTED person who becomes pliable and tbh so would almost any member of the aristocracy

Guys god forbid you ingest complex media and realise that a well written character can be morally grey without needing to be mentally unstable. God forbid a character actually favours a legitimately awful cause and maintains their human side. You need to remember that you can't push your own morals on fiction. When it comes to flawed characters, they're meant to put you off. They're meant to challenge you. But at the same time they should be read as people, so that all of their aspects are taken into account.

Also may I just add that this energy is almost always directed towards female characters? I don't see y'all hating on male mobsters, male cops or male politicians? Is the idea of a morally grey woman or a deeply flawed woman that much of a novelty? Or does it just not fit your point of view when it comes to "acceptable flaws"? I don't remember seeing anyone hating on Roy Mustang for his war crimes, his enabling of stratocracy or his position. I don't remember seeing anyone complain about Lelouch or even Miguel - even if a good chunk of the content I did see had more to do with his tits. But when women become the subject of politics or expressing authoritarian/extremist positions, they're immediately slut-shamed(?) and dragged through the mud? Is a flawed woman only allowed her cruelty when she's obviously mentally ill?

yeah, this reeks.
