Let's look at two characters who are generally considered to be iredeemable: **The Diamond Authority (from Steven Universe):** The extremely childish leaders of the race of spacefaring lesbian magical girl viruses, known as gems. They are responsible for the genocide of billions of organic life (for no good reason) and also had forced a lot of dead gems into a fate worse than death, aka: The Cluster. At this point, the answer seemed simple: You can't be redeemed if you have killed roughly 6 million people because of bogus reasons, however... **Dolores Umbridge:** Move aside, Voldemort, Harry Potter has a new and improved antagonist. No other character is hated with such unified and burning passion as her. She did bad stuff, but not a full-blown genocide. **So what quality do these examples share that ensure the reader is never going to empathize with them?**
