* [[YourMilageMayVary Say what you will]], but Adam Malkovich in ''MetroidOtherM'' crosses the line. He was already slipping beforehand (The infamous [[FanNickname hell run]] comes to mind, and his... umm... [[{{Understatement}} questionable]] relationship with Samus), but this is ridiculous. Adam, with no provocation nor hesitation, literally SHOOTS Samus in the back, leaving her severely injured and her suit deactivated, with a [[DemonicSpider health-sucking Metroid]] in the same room. [[WallBanger Adam didn't even shoot the Metroid, instead shooting Samus FIRST for no explainable reason]], [[WhatAnIdiot and then waiting until the Metroid was just about to chow down and THEN SHOOT IT]]. Samus even asks, "why did you shoot me?", but Adam doesn't even give a reason for it.

** He did it so that she wouldn't be able to stop him from performing his ''own'' suicidal mission.
*** Yeah, but I don't think any sane man would do that by pointless violence against one of his teammates.
*** You don't get to see this for a LONG time, but Adam had justifiable reasons. The Metroid Adam killed was a mere larva, and thus hadn't developed the thermal immunity the brood in Sector Zero possessed. Adam overheard Samus' intention of destroying the Metroids, and was forced by the Deleter into taking care of the matter personally rather than discussing the issue by radio. He knew the Metroids were iceproof (but was still against the use of the Power Bomb due to potential humans being onboard) and that Ridley was still alive as well - he wanted to pay the lowest possible price to keep the Bottle Ship from becoming another Zebes, and that price turned out to be his life. His methods may have been deplorable, but he literally had no choice.
**** And he had to shoot her to do this? He couldn't have stopped her verbally and expect her to follow his orders to the letter like she's been doing the entire game?
**** No, he couldn't. Even in her wounded state, and after having the situation explained to her, Samus still tried to follow him through the door.
***** And then he stopped her verbally and she followed her orders just like she had been doing the entire game.

* [[WorldOfWarcraft Sylvanas Windrunner]] has [[CrossesTheLineTwice crossed the line so many times that she plays double-dutch with it]], and despite some Warcraft fans [[DracoInLeatherPants remaining loyal to her and claiming she hasn't done anything wrong]] because [[WellIntentionedExtremist "it's for the good of her 'people'"]], many more have found her to be irredeemably evil. She has committed so many atrocities that it would actually be much easier to list what she hasn't done. She has: killed civilians, killed children, experimented on children with biological weapons, used biological weapons on civilian towns, committed genocide, disobeyed direct orders, [[YouWillBeAssimilated reanimated the men that she has killed into more Forsaken]], kidnapped, taken hostages, invaded foreign countries, framed a Foraken man who may or may not have committed a crime and then tested biological weapons against him, mind-controlled a Death Knight (essentially a volunteer Horde warrior), used propaganda, and set herself up as the object of cult worship. If Sylvanas sees a line to be crossed, she gleefully cartwheels over it.
* [[SaintsRow The Boss]] AKA the player character crosses this about, lets say, a dozen or so times during the course of the game. Burying an enemy alive? Did it. Permanently disfiguring someone's friend just to show he could? Done that too. Gave a evil overlord speech about how this is his/her city and they can do whatever they want with it to a group of loyal minions? With gusto. The only thing that prevents the boss from easily being the most evil character in game history is his tendency to do these atrocities to people who probably deserve it.

** In the embellished historical account of Morrowind's war with the Empire, we get a plethora of bastards merrily hopping across the {=MEH=}. The Akaviri potentate and his son gleefully plot the absolute destruction of the Emperor and his minions, callously catching innocents in their web of intrigue, while they are ''at peace'' with the Empire. A deranged Khajiit lord sets Molag Bal, one of the most sinister and cruel Daedra Lords, on a helpless town because a '''''bard''''' from there had told him a depressing tale. Later on, to get revenge for Lord Vivec of Morrowind blacklisting him for incompetence, a mercenary manipulates a poor bereaved girl who had been trained in witchcraft into summoning Mehrunes Dagon to destroy the capital of Morrowind. The mad Empress has her own son assassinated, and the Emperor (after being tricked into believing that his concubine was an assassin), casually remarks to her that he's going to free her, but he thinks he'll have her innocent little sister brought in as her replacement.

* The space combat simulator ''X-Wing: Alliance'' had a richer plot and cast of characters than its predecessors, particularly a subplot involving the protagonist Ace Azzameen's family. When Ace is new to piloting for his father Tomaas' shipping company, he helps out with a covert delivery of bacta to the wounded soldiers from Hoth, only for the Empire to show up and destroy the freighter that Ace's father and eldest brother were on. Their uncle Anton helps them escape to the Rebel Alliance. Near the end of the game, Anton gives them information that indicates that Tomaas and Galin are alive on an Imperial prison station. When the Azzameen children go to rescue them, Imperial ships arrive to capture them. They learn that their dear Uncle Anton not only set them up, but told the Empire about Tomaas' bacta run way back when. To recap, the man sold his own brother and niece and nephews out to the Empire, all because he figured Tomaas' dealings with rebels would ruin their business.

* In ''BlazBlue'', both Terumi Yuuki and Relius Clover are already big Complete Monsters, but they keep pushing and pushing beyond the horizon. At this point, it seems like they're competing in a 'How far off the deep end can you go?' contest. Now let us have a laundry list of their atrocities:
** Terumi (extra note: He does this all while {{Troll}}ing):
** Created the Black Beast that ravaged the world for years, joins the Six Heroes to defeat it... then betrays them and kills Nine, who turns out to be Kokonoe's mother.
** Killed Nine's sister, cut off Ragna's arm while stealing Jin's body to do the job, kidnaps Ragna's sister Saya in front of him, then burnt down his orphanage... making Rachel bite him and turn him half-vampire, traumatizing him for life.
** [[spoiler: [[ManipulativeBastard Uses Litchi's desperation to cure Arakune]], as well as her own [[TheCorruption worsening condition]], to encourage her into a reluctant FaceHeelTurn.]]
** Pushed Noel into the Cauldron and basically {{Mind Rape}}s her, making her forget all her memories and turned her into Mu-12, a being who hates the world due to how people pick on her and now she thinks HumansAreBastards.
** [[spoiler:Giving Tsubaki a harsh taunting while she completely lost her sight, practically telling her that Noel stole everything from her and she is to blame, destroying their friendship and possibly pushing Tsubaki through the DespairEventHorizon.]]
** [[spoiler: Mocks an immobilized and injured Rachel while ''kicking her in the face''.]]

** Creating the GroundhogDayLoop that proves to be so depressing for all the people, and stay observant... enjoying nearly all sufferings of the cast.
*** Terumi didn't create the loop. Takamagahara did that. In fact, Terumi wanted to stop the loop.
** Creating the Black Beast out of Ragna and Nu, considers it failure and joins the Six Heroes to defeat it... then betrays them and killed Nine, who turns out to be Kokonoe's mother.
*** Black Beast was created out of accident before the first loop.

** By the way, before he succeeded creating the Black Beast, he failed when experimenting Arakune, thus turning him into the AndIMustScream incarnate he is today.
*** Terumi didn't experiment on Arakune. Arakune did that experiment to himself, with encouragement and help from Litchi, despite their mentor, Kokonoe's disaprovement.
** [[spoiler:This is expanded with a dose of ManipulativeBastard. Arakune's transformation drove his lover Litchi Faye-Ling into desperation that she subjected herself with the similar experiments that happened to Arakune, giving her a virus that will slowly erode her mind and turn her into something like Arakune. When it's starting to eat her up and Kokonoe just refused to help her; Terumi simply just told her that NOL has something to prolong the erosion AND the cure, forcing the already further-desperate Litchi to pull a FaceHeelTurn unless she wants to stay and let the virus consume her. In short, her FaceHeelTurn can be credited to Terumi from a long time.]]
*** Again, Arakune's and Litchi's corruption is their own fault. Terumi was not involved at all. He merely offered Litchi a cure in exchange of working for him. This is definitely not a Moral Event Horizon.

** This is the biggest one for Terumi... [[spoiler:He had Rachel immobilized by a spell from an ally, named Phantom, then trolls her while the spell drags Rachel throughout the mud, and for good measure... ''kicks her on the face''. Rachel may be a stuck up, condescending little vampire bitch, but considering that she's just trying to set things straight... That's the line where fans start screaming for Terumi's eventual death.]]
*** Terumi and Rachel have hated each other for tens of thousands of years already. They insult and/or fight each other every time they meet. Terumi kicking her is definitely not a moral event horizon. Rachel will do the same if she is in his position.

** [[spoiler:Captured Arakune, who's already dying and a huge sack of pitiful creature... [[ForTheEvulz JUST BECAUSE]].]]
** [[spoiler:In Tager's alternate ending, Relius shows off his cruelty again when he gleefully subdued Tager with Ignis, then put him to a brutal torture]].
** Good guys aren't safe from this, either. Ever since Continuum Shift, Kokonoe has been into an obsessive state of "Must Kill Terumi", and in process, crosses several lines...
** When Litchi asks for a cure about her increasing influence of the Boundary corruption, Kokonoe's response was to pit Tager to fight her, then tells her to buzz off as she has no time to take care of her. [[spoiler:This drove Litchi into an utter desperation that in the end she decided that in order to continue on, she had to pull a FaceHeelTurn.]]
*** Kokonoe has been constantly telling Litchi for the past 3 years that she doesn't know how to cure Litchi and Arakune. What more can she say to convince Litchi that she really doesn't know how to cure them after 3 years of Litchi refusing to listen?
*** As Litchi's alternate ending is concerned, when Kokonoe put her heart to it, she IS willing to do everything and go BeyondTheImpossible to save her. And pitting Tager to do it just to make a point? Apparently 'kill Terumi' takes more priority than keeping friends when she only has very little.
** While this is not being crossed yet, Kokonoe pretty much declares that if her current attempts to kill Terumi failed, she'll use her last trump card: NUCLEAR WARHEAD towards Kagutsuchi, which will take out many people's lives along with Terumi. When she didn't care about the casualties as long as she can kill Terumi, that was the line... even Hakumen says that nuclear warheads are far more vile than the Black Beast itself.
** However, the biggest horizon that Kokonoe crossed, which caused her former fans to cry out for her blood and become her haters... is her utterly brutal treatment towards Lambda-11. She sends her out to many battles for data, didn't care about her welfare and pretty much experiments the hell out of her, much to the suffering of the emotionless Lambda, treating her as her mean to kill Terumi (before she'd use that nuclear above). There is a reason why Lambda suddenly becomes one of the series' biggest [[TheWoobie Woobies]] on her debut. This is it.
