Graviton Forfeit's Lore: Are we really the good guys?

I was looking at all the exotic armour lore when I came to the most recent exotic armour for the hunter: Graviton Forfeit. The lore is from the perspective of what I think is a minion of darkness (An intelligent one at that) who tells you to think about who you are, what you are doing and why. The lore really got me thinking: are we (the guardians) really the good guys? I want your thoughts down below for discussion. Edit: Wow guys! I really didn't think this would become such a hot forum topic but let's keep it going! [b]- FunkyneonchickN[/b]

  • <We aren't good guys and we aren't bad guys. Every Destiny species has a reason to do what they are doing. We are some of the last humans left, only in the millions located in one city and a few settlements scattered around the world. We are fighting against 4-5 alien forces, each one bent on killing us. We are defending our home and the thing that saved us from complete extinction. At the same time, we kill everything else, and they, in turn, view us as demons. The Fallen are a broken society, descendants of a once noble race of people whose home was obliterated by the combined might of 2 major alien powers. They mistakenly believe that we STOLE the Traveler from them, and they want to get it back in order to survive. At the same time, they aren't far from straight up cruelty, a society that still docks even when faced with the threat of imminent extinction. Let's not even touch the Splicers... even if the Hive deserve it. Speaking of which, the Hive. Once a society of short-lived aliens that crashed on a massive gas giant/water world. Everything else that lived on that planet was a threat to them, hell, even the sky above was a threat. They were alone and didn't have time to make their lives meaningless. Of course the Sisters three took the opportunity to live forever. They feed the Worm so that their lives can mean something, and they, unfortunately, do it through genocide... which leads into the negative. The Hive are cruel and experiment on anything they come across. They enjoy it, too. The Cabal want to conquer all. But even some like to lay off a bit. Calus wants the people to feel safe and secure and to be treated fairly when compared to the military. The others want war, it expands. Just compare them to the Romans because honestly I can't think of anything else. The Vex just want to survive... even if that means Convergence has to be achieved. The Stranger was wrong. She is wrong. The only argument I can't make anything for is the Darkness. I need to know more about the Queen of Final Shapes to reach a conclusion.>
