Jennifer certainly had a valid reason to seek revenge but she is more of a "monster" because she killed ppl that had nothing to do with her past. Her kills were not justified despite her motivations being so.

Deucalion's motives & kills were not justified in any way, the same as the Nogitsune.

Overall, Peter hasn't been as monstrous as ANY of the other villains we've been given and yet he is villified far more than them. As far as we've seen on the show, the level of villainy attributed to Peter is ridiculous.

I wouldn't agree there. Peter gets villified more simply because he has been around more. Jennifer and Deucalion, for example, were one-season-wonders. They were around for S3a and that was absolutely it. So naturally people dwell on their behavior less (although a lot of us thought Scott was morally bankrupt letting him walk).

Peter, on the other hand, has been present in every season. Thus, his actions and behavior are under ongoing scrutiny. He is not a one-season villain who did bad things and went away or died (permanently). Since he is a recurring character, and he repeatedly has opportunities to redeem himself and consistently opts to pass on them in favor of continuing to behave as badly as he thinks he can get away with, it is easier to judge him.
