But I'm a general sense, I don't agree that intents don't matter. I find them crucial whenever judging a character. There are characters that shouldn't be condemned to he'll because the results of their actions aren't ideal. Sansa Stark comes to mind immediately because I constantly see how much she gets bashed even when she had no bad intent or was just naive. The writing for her has sucked for the past few years but that's besides the point. She was much better written when was prissy and naive. Context matters. It's really a case by case basis.
Like you stated, content is crucial in the consideration of intent. Your example of Sensa Stark, I am assuming you are referring how she was coerced into turning against her family. I agree, her intent of turning against her family was based on very false information given to her. In this case, intent is based on false information and, IMO, it is forgivable.
In comparison to Juliette, the example you gave doesn't even come close. I never intended it to be a generalization but a specific application to this Juliette character
Like you said, I also agree that intent does matter. I also find it crucial whenever judging a character. The "intent" issue here for Juliette, does not change her guilt, if anything, in this situation, intent adds to her guilt. So yes, content is crucial in considering intent. IMO, For the Juliette character, its redundant.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
