Some people fail at writing believable good guys because their idea of good is too narrow. A good guy never smokes cigarettes. A good guy never has premarital sex. You end up with this incredibly narrow template where every good guy has the same life experiences and responds in the same way to the same situation.

“Unforgivable” is also subjective. I’ve seen repentant characters who commited sex crimes, war crimes, even genocide. I’m a Utilitarian (something Le Guin hated), and I don’t believe in free will, so I don’t pass judgment if someone got out of the environment or way of life in which they did horrible things.

+1, and fandom can be quite narrow about "good" as well. See all the fics where the author is obviously interested in an antihero or villain character, so promptly has to write how absolutely none of the harm they caused is their fault and we get all the way to "uwu bean had to cause genocide to cope".

I love those fics. Yes, my fave (in general, no specific fave in particular) did do genocide to cope, and good for him, he deserved it as a treat and most if not all of those people he killed literally didn’t even exist. Can you tell me any of their names? No, you can’t, because they weren’t important enough to have names. And I’m supposed to be sad that they were killed? Nah.

I'm glad someone is enjoying them, and I mean that sincerely!
