The Marriage of Pradyumna and Rukmavati, page from a Bhagavata Purana, Northern India, c. 1525–40. Cleveland Museum of Art (ID: 1976.26). Like his father Krishna, Pradyumna appears blue in color. He is shown three times in this painting with his bride. The scene of his marriage is in the upper level where a Brahmin, a Hindu priest, to the right of the pole and wearing a white lower garment and looped topknot of hair, performs the ceremony. Their arrival at the ceremony is pictured below. The flattened spaces and bold variety of background colors are typical of a major strain of Indian paintings made before the time of the Mughal emperor Akbar, who encouraged stylistic changes derived from exposure to Persian and European art forms.

"and was somehow better than light yagami" and the point of morals implied to me that it was about evaluating their morals first and foremost but I get waht angle you were goijg about this from now!
Specifically about gender in the common perception you are right for sure! Here I have no comments thus I brought up none
The fact that some people think that Misa Amane from Death Note did nothing wrong or was somehow better than Light Yagami is very confusing to me. Some of you really calculate gender into your moral assessments. If genders were reversed, people would not be so eager to defend Misa Amane or overstate Light Yagami's moral transgression. I see this as a reflection of the prevalent view of morality as politeness and progressiveness, sometimes just in-group signifiers that seem relatable.
Reactions I have observed to Death Note characters seem to support this hypothesis. The main trio are all liars and manipulators and have committed crimes; they are all egotistical and willing to sacrifice other people's interests for the sake of their game. Arguably, Misa exhibits the least remorse or moral self-awareness out of the three, especially in the manga, where Light has a more significant mental breakdown after using the Death Note.
But Misa is an adorable, approachable goth girl, sweet and relatable. L Lawliet is a cute, soft baby because he's autistic and unthreatening, never mind the torture. I think in actuality the most offensive crime that Light Yagami commits in Death Note for a modern audience is being a misogynist and being unrelatable. More people would side with Kira's cause if contemplative and quiet L were the one wielding the Death Note instead of Light, who is unapologetically arrogant. You know, the worst thing a person can be.
