Who is getting 'upset' by the use of incorrect terminology? Furthermore, terms such as 'whataboutism' are more often than not thrown around to excuse the reason for something happening in the first place. I've stated many times throughout this very thread that I firmly believe that it makes sense for the Sundered to do everything possible in order to avert their own destruction. However, I feel the same is applicable to the Unsundered. Equally, I can apply that to the Garleans and those in opposition to them.

Which is very much in line with comments made by Yoshi-P himself in various interviews, including this one:

The current state of global affairs is incredibly complex and simple two-dimensional theories of good/bad from ancient times can no longer quantify this world we live in. As such, a large factor [that contributed to the selection of these themes] is that I thought I could cultivate new values and a new sense of realisation within myself by changing perspective and carefully considering the other party’s arguments in regard to a given event. Half of the time these things are born from one’s intuition and flashes of inspiration. I guessed as much but it really is hard to explain.

So, no, conflicts are rarely as simple as 'good' and 'evil', 'villain' and 'hero'. You're free to believe otherwise but so too are others perfectly at liberty to see the nuance in any given situation. Personally I prefer to understand why something is happening so it can be prevented from happening again rather than pretending as if people just wake up and decide to do 'evil' things with no context.
