>>128158823The main problem is that with some of the examples you gave, a significant part of their character writing revolves around understanding the consequences of their actions, accepting what they did and realizing what they did was wrong, apologizing, and ultimately taking efforts to repent for their actions: give or take.
Harley is one of the most bizarre female anti-hero "feminist" types because while on paper she could easily fit into being "Deadpool but a girl", she doesn't because of the constant thesis labeled by her comics that Harley:
>has done nothing wrong>is doing nothing wrong>if she's doing something wrong/had done something wrong, it's fine because of X excuse/justification/evading ordeflecting responsibility/it was someone else's fault/someone else "made" her do it
What makes matters worse is DC putting out stories that further compound this idea that Harley's past or upbringing is enough of an excuse for whatever she's done wrong (and why she shouldn't have to answer for anything wrong she's done) when that itself goes against the entire point of being a Batman villain - no amount of sad backstory excuses one's agency or responsibility when it comes to harming other people.
Another problem is that modern-Harley misunderstands the entire point of Harley that made her appealing in the first place: she was off her rocker and unstable at times, but at her core, was a good person who tried to take the easy route through life, and paid the consequences and ended up in the hands of a man who abused her and who she genuinely believed loved her the way she loved him. The entire point of Harley was that she needed to get out of the circumstances she found herself in or otherwise she would never be happy - multiple episodes with her and Poison Ivy (and even the BTAS comics) make it very clear that although Ivy isn't as bad as the Joker, she's still an unstable and abusive partner who's controlling and domineering, and even willing to lash out.
