Is there a particular reason Sofia Lamb isn't considered a Complete Monster here or on the corresponding video games page? It's been a while since I played B2 but reading through her actions and character page here, I can't see a single redeeming feature among them that makes her anything less than an utter sociopath.

Presumably the thread either never discussed her or voted her down. Since there's another approved CM here, I assume the latter.

IIRC, she is a Well-Intentioned Extremist, with emphasis on the "extreme" because she does want what's best for a collective as a whole, which I would imagine would be disqualifying.

Especially since she really does pale in comparison to other C Ms in the series. In particular, Comstock, as basically everything Lamb does, he does but worse. Any bonus points she gets for being an abusive parent, Comstock has done worse. And completely without anything even resembling a moral justification.

The problem with the Well-Intentioned Extremist bit is that her rationale is "I consider everyone else to be equally of worth"...as in, she considers everyone other than herself equally worthless. Even her own daughter. Only her own life matters in the end. Sure, there are probably more monstrous monsters out there, but that doesn't make her less qualified for the designation any more than Comstock not being as insane as Davros from Doctor Who since he's only out to assert white dominance in one universe and not destroy all life in the entire omniverse makes him less of a monster.
