Also pulled this for a similar reason.
- Moral Dissonance: She forgave Baatar Jr, but refused to forgive Kuvira even though he supported and aided Kuvira every step of the way. The only thing Kuvira did that Jr isn't equally culpable of is try to kill Jr, which is a rather specific line to draw considering all the other deaths she caused, either directly or indirectly.
Not only is that a massive shoehorn of Moral Dissonance (Suyin doesn't exactly have a moral code about forgiveness), but it blatantly misrepresents... everything. Firstly, it's natural to be more forgiving of your own son. Secondly (and more importantly) it lies about Bataar's guilt. Bataar could be reasoned with. Bataar was willing to surrender (and did) without a fight and give up his goal of conquest. And then tried to get Kuvira to do the same (and her response was to use him to try to kill a bunch more people). Kuvira did not give up and only asked for forgiveness after she exhausted every single possible option and her giant mecha was destroyed (with Bataar's help, no less). Their situations are exceedingly different.

From Suyin's entry:
This just really reeks of character-bashing by cherrypicking things and calling it hypocrisy. If she was presented as a hypocrite by the work please readd and state that. Most of this is fan-interpretation that really should go in YMMV under Alternative Character Interpretation or Unintentionally Unsympathetic.
