What's a "Moral Compass Cricket Thingy"?

[Moonface]

Well, I could just point at Data Squad and say "All of them", and be done with the question, but that doesn't explain anything. Really thinking on the matter, I'd have to go with Rika and Thomas, both of which have the same problem: they are complete and utter assholes to everyone around them until a key moment where they then start to care. I just REALLY have a problem with that character archetype; it's just a "me" thing.

I'm surprised Koji from Frontier doesn't fall into that for you too since he refuses to have anything to do with the rest of the characters until he just decides to stick with them for whatever reason.
I will give Rika credit though that she does reflect upon herself near the very end of the show and admits she acted like a terrible person for the sake of herself. I can't speak for Thomas since I don't know who he is and I'll assume he's from Data Squad which I don't think I'll ever watch.
