TV Tropes made CM to "moral absolutist" when they said "CMs have NO redeeming factors whatsoever".. every character, even the scummiest of scum, will have a tiny piece of potential "good" in them unless an author makes them a generic doomsday type..

without that tiny bit of potential "good" a CM has ZERO character and by default the story falls apart.
