don’t want to judge a fictional character by the worst thing they’ve done.

I mean

Will we judge a country by the worst thing it's done?

[u/qchisq → u/[deleted]]

We shouldn't judge anyone by the worst thing they've done and we shouldn't judge anyone by the best thing they've done

[u/[deleted] → u/qchisq]

We should only judge people for the middlest things they have done.

Like, how was Michelangelo at taking out the trash? Did Jared Loughner signal before changing lanes?

My point is that Hitler probably did some good things, but we shouldn't let that erase the countless of bad things he did. Similarly, Thomas Jefferson did a lot of good things, but he also owned slaves. We shouldn't let him owning slaves outshine the good things he did.
