this is not about anyone in particular but if you think storytelling has to be morally pure and anyone who isn't a capital V Villain should be acting in a way that is aspirational and without flaw, lest the audience learn a Bad Lesson
then you are at a media comprehension age of elementary school.
and that's okay. learning can happen at any age. and you don't have to consume media targeted at you. but morally messy characters are essential for human wellbeing. not everyone has to be a perfect superhero. we need to see people, who are people, who aren't Fixed by the end of the story. because we are all people who are just people who don't get Fixed at an arbitrary point, and being comfortable with that ALLOWS us to develop into better people. if you are uncomfortable with seeing flaws in others, in seeing them do harm to others without immediate punishment, you become uncomfortable seeing it in yourself and if you can't recognise it and sit with it, you can't improve. you can't. you can't dent and bully yourself into moral behaviour. you just get a mental illness.
