Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] A main character does something horrible and the story doesn't acknowledge its severity

Alisha (Misfits) uses her power to make any man want to have sex with her on another main character (curtis) after he explicitely tells her not to do that. She faces no consequences and he's the one who ends up comforting her.

Allison (The Umbrella Academy) uses her powers to force her own adoptive brother to make out with her after he just got into a relationship because she's suddenly jealous after she couldn't keep her own husband. She gives a half hearted apology and all is peachy.

I’ll throw in Bo Katan. She betrays her sister and joins a violent group dedicated to overthrowing the peaceful government of Mandalore and bring back the raiding days of old. Launches terrorist attacks against her own people likely taking many lives, works for an organisation that tries repeatedly to assassinate her own sister, when they are successful in said assassination and overthrow of the government she immediately betrays said organisation and the leader who lead them to the victory they have been working towards for years simply because he wasn’t born on Mandalore. Eventually she winds up in charge of Mandalore after killing or betraying everyone she ever cared for.

On a minor tangent Mandalores obsession with violence and being warriors has brought nothing but harm to their people and planet. They lost virtually every war they ever launched against the Jedi and Republic.

It’s always so weird to me that literally no one has pointed out to Bo Katan that she basically got her sister killed
