... 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.

Edited by MagBasThat'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.

Recently, the following example was altered of "* Lelouch's Zero-Approval Gambit at the end of Code Geass saves quite a few characters from karmic retribution for their actions. Notably, various surviving Britannian soldiers, including Princess Cornelia li Britannia, might have been tried for their war crimes if the circumstances had been any different. And the newly married Ohgi, who had earlier betrayed Lelouch in favor of Schneizel and his slanted accounts in an under the table deal for Japan that would have also left other UFN nations out to dry, and also used Kallen as bait and threatens to kill her under suspicion of Geass without hearing her out, not only receives no punishment for said actions and hypocritical reasoning, but instead gets a good-old Happy Ending as he becomes Prime Minister of Japan. He also gets Happily Married to Villetta, a major Spanner in the Works who is no stranger to screwing over Lelouch for her own ignoble reasons over the course of the entire series, including using a traumatized Shirley to capture him, shooting Ohgi during the Black Rebellion which partly led to its failure, watching over Lelouch during the year while he is amnesiac for the sake of nobility because of her knowledge of his Geass, and convincing Ohgi to betray him as she changes sides; even in spite of her part in Lelouch getting captured following the rebellion, or that even so, Ohgi has the audacity to fully blame him for it, even though it was this as well as his own carelessness that made it happen. To rub it in, the newly wedded couple have a baby on the way. Compare and contrast to the self-sacrifices of Lelouch and Suzaku, who alienated from and made themselves dead to the world, literally in the case of the former and figuratively in the case of the latter, who also became the new Zero as per the Zero Requiem, which made the new peace possible for everyone else. Consider also that the two may not have went with such a plan, which also had a high degree of inferred destruction, if not for the aforementioned betrayal. They pretty much made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of everyone else, including those who had manipulated and wronged them." to " Code Geass gets a lot of anger aimed at it over this.
