The argument doesn't always working though because everyone is different, however I do agree with looking at both sides of the story even if you don't put yourself in their shoes.

You have succeeded in killing the git with the red tail but blame it on some guy who's conveniently the former mate of the leader you're trying to overthrow. You also scare away another git who also has a distinctive tail (git with the white tail tip.) But they claim this guy died in a fight against ShadowClan so all those lies about him betraying ThunderClan were a waste of time. :/ But at least we got to conspire with a kit-apprenticing-addict former dictator, kinda drowned the darn ginger and make his life somewhat miserable. But then he goes and snitch on you like the little... hitch he is. Speaking of "hitches" you got to use a pack of dogs on your homeland. And as you released those dog you are immediately filled with pride and a sense of justice fueled by your pettiness and innate evilness. Nothing big or small can get in your way now....
[The rest coming soon.....]

I find it difficult to place myself in an abuser's show for personal reasons. Because, grief isn't an excuse. What Millie has done isn't an excuse. We need to stop ignoring what she has done, when she hasn't done a thing to change herself. Call it biasm, but I cannot forgive an abusive parent.
As for Ivypool and Dovewing, what truly annoys me is that usually in an argument, if one is beloved, their faults are ignored while pointing at the faults of the one they hate. People tend to forget they were apprentices who had the weight of the Clans thrust apon them, with one trapped in cat hell and the other expected to be this great and perfect character.

Well I mean
Everyone reacts differently
So this argument generally doesn't work

Imagine you are in love with a cat. You've really connected and the time you've spent lately together had made you feel lighter than ever. Then she rejects you for someone you thought she was done with. Of course you want to take revenge! You team up with her new boyfriend's half-brother to make sure she feels the pain you feel when she punctured your heart. (You get the picture...Ashy...you're still not innocent in my eyes)

Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is a good way to help you know why a decision was made, but it doesn't excuse said decision.

I don't really like these Millie arguments...mostly because I don't hate Millie because of what she's done, it's because her purr-sonality isn't as well developed as other characters. (See what I did there lol) I get why a lot of people like Millie but I honestly just don't...I can't really explain why but I just see her character as a (meh) type of cat.

Yeah, "stepping in someone's shoes" is good, but I think the concept of "seeing both sides" is better. When you step into someone's shoes, you're only seeing 1 perspective, causing bias. Seeing both sides the argument is seeing 2 perspectives, looking at both the good and bad in both.
For example, if you only stand in Blossomfall's shoes, you'll only see an abusive mother who's ruining her struggling daughter's life. If you only see through Millie's eyes, you'll only see an attention-seeking immature daughter messing around and whining like a baby when they get scolded.
It's only when you take a step back and look at both views and use reason that you truly see a better perspective.
