It is a given that all people have value...And just because people are counter-cultural or fringe in society doesn’t mean that they are not of value to it. Anyone can provide value to society... But ascribing unearned value to anything can be dangerous. It’s akin to putting someone on a pedestal in a relationship or friendship. You might get let down eventually.
Any person is capable of both good and/or evil. Just because someone is traumatized say as a child from some horrific crime that happened to them, that doesn’t mean that we should then forgive them of crimes they commit in the future which they blame on that. What about the horrendous war crimes throughout the ages? Can we just forgive the madmen and women because their mothers didn’t love them enough or their fathers were dictatorial? Of course, we don’t need to hang onto the past but condoning evil should never happen no matter who is doing it nor what proposed pretence they are doing it under.
At all points, people should be looked at based on their morality and verifiable data that can back those moral actions up. If you don’t have real facts, you can’t usually speak to someone’s character either way. No matter if they are man woman etc.. There is a very dangerous line in the sand people cross when they start forgiving evil (in real time) around the world... Just like a small child if evil goes unchecked it tends to take more and more liberties with its newfound freedom each time. Evil isn’t stupid, it steals every inch or moral ground that good people relinquish due to laxity, or ambivalence.
