Given that this constitutes a significant and at times even primary part of Lelouch's motivations, my 'right'/'wrong' side designation was based on whether they encouraged/discouraged this.
And yeah, this argument isn't really new. If you're familiar with it, then perhaps we can move on.
The 'wrong' and 'right' side I was talking about was my subjective designation. Nobody else has to choose sides at all. I'd personally categorize the only true villains of the series to be the variably featured Britannian nobles. A slightly looser definition would include Charles, Schneizel, and occasionally Lelouch. Everybody else was a protagonist ('hero') on some level.
And the vengeance I was talking about was Lelouch's personal one. Although I do think revenge is a bit of a dead end in general.

If you include Lelouch, then you'd also have to include the likes of Cornelia, but definitely V. V., above everyone else, as he even betrayed Charles.
