He was perfectly fine working with cardassians who enslaved the entire population of bajor, punished bajoran workers who broke the cardassians rules.
He was set to quit working on DS9 over “unclear chain of command” but did he ever try quitting when he was flogging slaves? Did he quit working when another child starved to death?
No.
Odo is a fascist enabler who only wants people to follow whatever regime is in power. Like good obedient little solids.
Counter point- he was not just an orphan, he was launched into space before growing into a conscious entity with any frame of reference (not that his people were all that morally fantastic anyway) and came of age in a lab where he was being studied/tortured for years by a Bajoran scientist before anyone realized he was a sentient being.
He often doesn’t understand humanoids but he doesn’t understand himself either. We only ever see Odo growing in positive ways as he struggles to learn what it means to be a being.
He only cared about rules and order until that got three innocent people executed for a crime they didn’t commit. He learned and grew and never forgave himself for the miscarriage of justice under his authority.
If anyone has an excuse for lacking a moral compass early in life, it’s Odo.
Odo does not care about “injustice”
