There seem to be a solid core of Tau fans who rabidly believe that Tau are genuinely 100% good and the only actually good, happy, unified race in 40k.
There's also a few who believe they're the unwitting puppets of the sinister etherial caste (Aun), and that the Aun are up to no good.
And there's people like me that believe they're just as dark and multifasceted as any other 40k race, they just have better PR. They may not be worse than the Imperium, but they;re not much better in my book.
Frankly, I think giving them a dark side makes them interesting, but there are a lot of fanboys out there who think the only people who believe in a tau darkside are "Tau haters". I certainly don;t hate them. I play them quite a bit. I just think they;re unscrupulous little blue commies who'll do whatever it takes to see their manifest destniy fulfuilled. They;re just smart enough to put a good spin on it and treat their citizens well to keep them happy.
Don;t get me wrong of all the races in 40k to be conquered and oppressed by, I;d rather it be the Tau. You;re nust not going to convince me they;re any more the good guys than anyone else
