yea, it is. of course, it could be because it involves an otp of mine (one very well outside of my biases, at that).

granted, the character in question is something of a blank slate in canon. i don't know if that makes it easier or harder to make a believeable redemption---that all depends on the skill of the writer, ahaha. especially creating an in-depth backstory for such a character.

.... i suppose a simpler example of a controversial redemption would be Magolor. xD ....
