I don't see anything disturbing there. In fact, having double standards is far more disturbing to me, a mindset which can allow a lot of self-justifiable amoral behavior. Historical figures are what they are - part of history, nobody is/should be changing that. But if one wants to look up to somebody these days, have them as some sort of role model, well then they better be up to current (and ideally even future) standards. This way, life and morals are relatively simple, pure and hard to bend. Which might not serve some types of personalities very well, but that's another topic and frankly their own (self) fight
