... well, the wall of text alone makes that absolutely horrible and it can be done away with. I honestly can't get my eyes to pay attention long enough to pay attention to its words.

The example was altered to " Code Geass gets a lot of anger aimed at it over this. The main characters die - figuratively for one, literally for the other. Meanwhile, many of their enemies are allowed to live on and enjoy the peaceful world they've created. They made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of everyone else, including those who had manipulated and wronged them. However, this is not a bad thing - their ability to forgive is what makes them heroic, even in light of all of the questionable things they themselves have done. The series doesn't cast the characters in question in a bad light either - they've learned their lesson over the course of the story - that war is bad and not worth it, and that all people deserve respect - and the ending invites the viewer to celebrate with them and be happy for them, as Lelouch is (from wherever he is), and as Kallen, Lloyd, Cecile, Nunnally, and many of the other survivors who know the full story are. You can hardly say they'd be better off losing even more of their friends and family - some peaceful world that would be. Really, it's not this trope so much as an aversion of Protagonist-Centered Morality - nonetheless, it has many fans up in arms crying for vengeance."

That's still a massive wall of text. From what I can make out before glazing over, though, it looks awfully familiar to a few other suspicious edits I've seen reported from that page that keep going on about "averting Protagonist-Centered Morality", which makes me think we've got someone trying to push an agenda. I'm personally inclined to think they're both unacceptable, but I can't really give a damn about this kind of whining about Karma Houdini in the first place.

That example is much too long. Ditch it.
