It's a bit difficult for me to raise criticism of moral issues and how ethical questions are handled in Sentai/Rider because they're shows from a completely different culture I have no direct experience with; and hence any criticism I raise does inevitably run into the issue of not understanding how the issue is viewed within the context of that culture and society -- and hence anything I say, even if technically correct, could end up just being very unhelpful because it fails to understand the status of those moral issues in that society. But it's really hard to watch things like Leo essentially telling Misao to just get over it and see that framed positively rather than a huge mistake on Leo's part.

Yeah, culture shock is a tricky subject like that, especially as we technically don't really have the "It was sold to us yet this happened" thing. Not yet anyway
