To put it into perspective, until Kuma was revealed to be a spy, many of his actions were deemed quite heinous, but after the revelations his actions took on a new light.

Additionally, how many 1000s of pirates and marines and innocents did Perona directly or indirectly destroy and rape for Moria, but now we treat her like the little sister we always wanted.

In the end, Oda can do whatever he wants to Monet to make her acceptable or unacceptable. Truthfully, I do not care either way (I would prefer a more humanoid female character joining the crew), but I am willing to acknowledge that Monet's current actions are not as damning as others seem to believe.
Yes but these are children we are talking about, children who where ala Hans and Gretel kidnapped by a deranged scientist and experimented on. All these kids were doomed to die and she actively participated in this.
There's a lot Luffy overlooks but I can't see him ever accepting any of her reasons. Also these last few chapters she's looking more and more insane. But no I can't debunk the possibility, though it would feel really forced and morally wrong to redeem such a character. This aint no Naruto right?
