It implies that all people act and react according to circumstances (long-term and short-term). And this is something the law already acknowledges - note all the different types of homicide that exists in law. Rape is rape. But sometimes the rapist can also be a victim of something else. They can both by guilty of rape (and therefore accountable), but also a victim in need of help at the same time. In the law, we have ways to distinguish that - there is a reason why judges (a human) is typically given authority to choose actual punishment - to in take into account circumstances. Where "weird implications" start appearing is when this interacts our current popular trend of blanket applying "evil" status to people who commit certain actions. My gut feel is that this is a (understandable) response/backlash to abuse of the structure of moral relativism thinking and other post-modernist thinking by various groups. Or perhaps it's backlash against to the perceived failures of moral relativism to deliver any benefits "to the common person".
