This isn't like Ranma turning villain in a fic. Ranma had questionable morality to begin with, anyway.
This would be closer to Sailor Moon turning full evil and trying to kill her friends and destroy the world, in a canon storyline. Taking a character that generations of children used as a moral compass and putting those kinds of words in their mouth. Ugh. This does real damage to the subculture, and maybe the culture at large. There's only so much moral relativism we can take. Like I get that brainwashing is a regular thing in comics, but this is a bit further. It normalizes extreme views in obvious opposition to what the creators wanted.
