Explaining =/= Excusing Giving a villain a backstory to explain their reasoning behind their evil schemes is not an excuse for their behavior. Giving the hero a tragic background to explain their harsh methods does not excuse them from anyone they hurt because they 'got in their way'. Explaining a characters' behavior through any means is. not. to. be. used. as. an. excuse. The purpose of explaining a thing is to give insight into how it works, not to excuse it. But.. if you happen to sympathize with a character or whatever because of what they went through? That's not a bad thing. If you happen to like the evil guy or gal because they're an evil selfish bastard? That's not a bad thing ether. Hell you can even dig the hero person and think they're awesome and hate the villain's guts. You can do that too. There's nothing wrong with /any/ of that. But. When you use what they went through to justify anything they do and then ignore everything else and just go "Oh it's not their fault /this and this/ happened to the poor baby, they shouldn't be held accountable!!1" That's when your excusing them. And that's what gets everyone's panties in a knot. Tldr: Don't use the past to justify the present. Especially when it comes to fictional characters. That's not how that works okay?
