Few things are [[Villainous BSOD|more crushing]] than realizing [[Obliviously Evil|that you're one of the bad guys.]] You exclaim "[[My God What Have I Done]]?" and perhaps shed [[Tears of Remorse]]. Or in some cases, you realise you're even worse than you thought you were. Either way, it's the moment you know you're in the wrong.
It may lead to [[The Atoner]], a [[Redemption Quest]], or [[Redemption Equals Death]], or, if the author is feeling particularly vindictive, to [[Heel Face Door Slam]]. Conversely, may turn a [[Well Intentioned Extremist]] [[Necessarily Evil]], or force them to admit that there is [[No Place for Me There]]. There's also the possibility to [[Ignored Epiphany|ignore the realization.]] Sometimes these people were just [[Punch Clock Villain|working for someone]] who turned out to be doing horrible things. A common form is to [[Kick the Wrong Dog]] and/or [[Being Evil Sucks]].
