Morals varying by world/situation are a thing I like. What's acceptable when you're running a cute little coffee shop is nothing like what's acceptable when you're being overrun by zombies. Anyone looking at the latter situation and judging it as if it's in the context of the former is an idiot.

Personally, I love stories where you aren't rooting for the protagonist because they're good, but because they're a compelling character with interesting motivations, and because they're the main character. I'm not a fan of squeaky clean, goody-two-shoes characters. Apparently this makes me 'edgy' and 'trying too hard', but I rest my case.

Historical fiction isn't really my thing, but there are some things that are undeniably shitty. Murder, for instance, or rape or child abuse are shitty no matter what the context is; you're not going to be less dead or less traumatized just because of how the world treats it at the time, but everyone involved in the situation will look at it differently than they would today, and that would have an effect on how the characters deal with it. (This obviously applies to less severe crimes as well.) Now, having said that, the morals of the time would influence WHY someone would do [INSERT IMMORAL THING HERE], and if you pretend that's not so, you're missing out on a lot of the story.
