''sEnsELesS pUniSHmenT. What is sensless about that?''

If you hadn't cut off my statement so you could regale us all with your clever wit, you would have noticed the actual totality of words to be "senseless punishment that only serves to satisfies sadism" so the emphasis is not on it being senseless, but why it is deemed it so. Likewise, it is part of a larger sentence where I'm basically literally rehashing the old restorative justice vs. retributive justice philosophical argument, and you should just google it instead of finding "off putting" that, somehow, other people think retributive justice simply for the sake of punishment instead of focusing on all four theories of penology is dumb sadism that solves nothing.

like they get a sudden change of heart and not pay for their sins.

I literally provide examples in my third comment in this same thread, so no, the idea that villains do not "pay for their sins" is badly reading the text.

if Othinus was a fat, creepy, ugly bastard, people defending him would be zero.

If only there was someone fitting that description in the series that is also given the treatment of making up for past misdeeds…

Oh wait, there is.

Restarting this argument is very bizarre when the most recent volume literally defeats this "argument" that the series never punishes anyone or forgives them too easily.
