My stance is to let people like which characters and factions they want to like. The game's just something I enjoy playing in my free time, ultimately.
And that's completely 100% fine. Just don't expect others to bite their tongue and not reply how they see fit in an open discussion of the viewpoints of rival factions within a fantastical setting on a message board dedicated to the discussion of a fantasy war and its revelations therein. War is anything but logical and never devoid of emotions. Ever watch a show or read a book and think to yourself "wow, I really hate that character." or "I didn't want them to die..."?

Mercutio died in Romeo and Juliet and my reaction was anger. G'raha Tia lets his emotions flow and I was happy for him. etc. etc.

And I'll gladly pat my back all I want and you can't stop me. Condescension be damned.
