Oh nvm! They cosplay as STORMTROOPERS and march. Because guess what, its all fiction and it wont hurt anybody. And if we really get down to the nitty gritty, they are way closer to the Romans down to the faux latin language they use, LEGIONS etc. Who were horrible in their own right. But guess what, so was every army in history.

So what do we do? Erase every exploration of nuance and just label all Garleans as bloodthirsty conquerors, Ala Mhigans used to be conquerors. All of Limsa were bloodthirsty pirates. Ishgard is built on the blood of a bunch of knights eating a dragon after killing her not to mention throdding down on their poor. Where do we draw the line?

Just enjoy the fictional fantasy universe that is NOT REAL and hope for more nuance to your villains. Because telling a story is key here.
