This brainwashed generation is trying to brainwash the next generation through games.
Maybe a bit off topic but: Its probably quite hard to not judge something without using your own views, morality and other real life experiences in it. So it really should not be surprising that people do that with this story. I am also quite fine if someone likes the bad guys, but it is a bit annoying when they suddenly dont accept them as the bad guys but try to spin them into something good (especially while using weak or no arguments at all).

Also the characters and their governments have moral standards too. So we do have a way to see how they would react to certain events and their morals are not that different from most of ours. Thus it makes quite a lot of sense to use that in arguments.

Again if you want to play the bad guy then accept that he is one and that the stuff he does is horrible. But if you want to play the bad guy but dont want its actions to be seen as something bad or even evil, then there is imo something wrong. And then people have the right to point out that its morally right..

(There is also a difference between feeling sympathy for the Ascians and outright making a thread asking why they should not win and that they should kill everyone. Of course that does not say anything about you as a real life person)
