Every time I see the “Poison Ivy is a hero” concept on social media I find myself wondering when Ra’s Al-Ghul gets turned into a hero

Pamela Isley as written in the actual Batman comics is a serial rapist who uses mind control powers to try to eradicate the entire human race. Her pheromones literally work like a bad AO3 sex pollen fanfic, and are used for the same results.

Ra’s Al-Ghul leads a twisted cult boosted by his Lazarus Pit-induced immortality in the ambition to eradicate all of humanity. Why is the Arab terrorist the villain and pantsfeels sexy lady the hero, increasingly?

When is the vision to eradicate humanity heroism and when is it villainy?

I have the same feelings on Harley “Beat kids to death for Mistah Jay” Quinn and her becoming a heroic figure in spite of committing deeds beyond the writ of any healthy moral calculus in both fictionland and by almost all real life standards.
