Oh, no, I wasn't arguing over whether it was ableist or not (I guess in context it looked like I was). I just didn't think it was fair to say that it's treated as an indicator pure evil. There are people who can resist the compulsions and people who grow out of them to care about other people (pretty much every major character with HERS in the series ends up doing this), and I was arguing more with the idea that it was a black and white morality thing.

Nonetheless I agree it's not comparable to real life mental illness, and I don't think it's supposed to be, either.
