She never killed anyone for the sake of killing someone, it was always a punishment for something. Like the crucifixion of the slave owners was because they had done the same to their slaves, or Tarlys being killed because they refused to bend the knee to her, or letting her brother be killed by Khal Drogo because he threatened her. Remember what she did when an actual innocent person got killed by one of her dragons? She locked them away. She's always been portrayed as a liberator, not a tyrant.
