"They are just evil" doesn't cover it.
This is brought up, acknowledged, and dealt with multiple times in the MSQ by the leaders of said city-states across multiple expansions and storylines.

But yes, namecalling using the usual dumb buzzwords like fascist or Nazi is utterly stupid. Reminds me of those cretins that call RP players who have imperial-aligned Garlean characters as Nazi apologists, and not because they enjoy the ideas, themes and potential developments of playing a character in the evil empire faction.
