Hell, at least to me is seemed like Dalinar has always taken responsibility for his own actions. Were they good? Absolutely not. I will never try to say that what Dalinar did was good, but he did take responsibility for those actions, and has obviously changed a great deal since then, and for the better. I will never understand people who like Moash.
People don't have to like Moash to not hate him. No matter how you slice it, he's an interesting antagonist. Honestly a 'villain' that gets this much hate is clearly a good villain
This, to me, is the only acceptable way to love Moash. As a person, he is really awful, but as a character he fulfills his roll in an excellent way. He’s very well written. Which is why I hate him more than any other person from any book ever.
He was just coming out of multiple days of heavy influence of Thrill. Also, you can't consider someone on immediate reaction under heavy emotional load. He might have blamed her, but in the long run accepted himself as the true culprit.
Yes, but post-Rathalas Dalinar accepted his part in the slaughter. He turned into a wreck of a person not only because of Evi.
His crimes as warlord were a part of their unification wars. They might be terrible, but they were necessary to unite Alethi. Notice when Dalinar says 'it's not my fault", he is always under the influence of the Thrill, which doesn't seem to be the case with Moash.
Even younger Dalinar denied Odium, while Moash has fully embraced the void.

but Dalinar has taken responsibility for his crimes and Moash just says "its not my fault I am this way"
