I'm not sure why so many people struggle with this.
"I lost my home so I'm coming to invade your's" is not a reason for me to feel sorry for the Eliksni.
None of the groups approached us in diplomacy. They attacked us. That's why we fight.

Just because the bad guys have a reason for their reactions beyond "because it's fun to be evil" doesn't make them not bad guys. The Hive want to wipe out all life in existence, fighting them is in self defense. The Fallen want to wipe us out on some misguided attempt to impress and reclaim the Traveler. Warring against them is self defense. The Vex have invaded multiple of our planet's, and attack us when we're in their war. Fighting them is self defense. The Cabal have I acted and plundered at least one of our worlds in their pursuit of the Vex and now send an invasion fleet against us. Fighting them is self defense. None of them have attempted diplomacy as a people, and the only one who has, Variks, is ridiculed and hated by his people for it. We aren't the bad guys here people.
