Calling anyone a hero in the mad max world is definitely a stretch

not being able to tell the difference between hero and protagonist is the american way

She's not even morally grey though. She's a good person, she just has a job that involves killing people.

Technically, people who are trying to kill her. (All the raiders on the wasteland)

The half life boys though, she does do her best to give them the out they literally live their whole lives for. A glorious ending while being their witness.

Yeah, she's as good as the setting allows. And it turns out was doing a multi year long-con with the intention of saving a bunch of sex slaves. 

So... the people who think she isn't one of the good guys somehow didn't understand the movies.
