While the slaver is not a good guy, it doesn't make Dany good. Whether she is right or wrong doesn't matter, the point is she always think she is right and she threats to destroy anyone who doesn't do as she said. She is basically a tyrant.

If you use the young age as an excuse, then Joffrey is not a bad guy as well.
She didn't say forfeit everything, but allow each slave to carry on their back enough wealth for their years of service. Also, SoFI has no good or bad characters. All of them are flowed characters. Dany is a barely legal (if not still an minor) who want to be a Tangeryan dragon queen. She is flawed as they come, but not evil.
