When he believed himself responsible for killing thousands of people by blowing up a planet, he is wracked with guilt to the point he tries to goad Hal into “executing” him, even to the point pleading with him. For example, after leaving the Red Lantern hate cult, it seems his source of power changes from other-expressed rage and hate to instead hating himself (self-loathing) or being angry at himself, combined with irritable pessimism. Over time, the sources and manifestations of Razer’s rage, hate, and anger shift, becoming less varied, weaker, and less destructive.
Razer’s rage/hate/anger, which is necessary to wield the power of a Red Lantern power ring, almost entirely derives from his pain and grief, desire for revenge (which is closely related to his pain and grief) and, especially later on, his self-loathing. Technically, yes…but not indefinitely, assuming minimal canon divergence. However…is it possible for someone to be a Lantern corresponding to a “bad” emotion and still be a “good guy”? To be more specific, can Razer, who gains his power from anger, rage, and hate, remain a Red Lantern and stay a “good guy”? Generally, those colors to the right of green on a color line-blue (Hope) and violet (Love)-correspond to “good” Lantern organizations and “good” emotions, while those to the left-red (Rage/Hate) and orange (Greed) correspond to the reverse. If the world of GLTAS is like the comics, should a blue power ring’s user lose all hope, the ring shall abandon the user. Blue power rings, for example, correspond with hope. Power rings also select their wearers based on whether they embody the corresponding emotion of the ring.

In Green Lantern: The Animated Series (GLTAS), power rings are fueled by particular emotions, or at least require their users (“Lanterns”*) to express particular emotions or emotional states to use them.

Indeed, given the sheer number of things he experienced up to the final episode, such as extricating himself from a hateful cult, finding encouraging companionship, a home on Odym, love, learning how to calm his anger, and learning to value himself, his life, and future, it would take significant tweaks to canon at a divergence point late in the show to keep him a Red Lantern for an extended period. He would inevitably lose the sufficient rage, hate, and anger to be a Red Lantern, so by definition he can’t be a Red Lantern who’s a good guy. Yes, but not indefinitely under original flavor or largely canon-compliant conditions. Can Razer be a Red Lantern and Still be a Good Guy? Part 1
