I don't think it's really possible to have a "both sides are valid" version of oppressors and oppressed

Just based on the definition of what oppression is

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest I would find an attempt to validate oppression to be really gross and offensive. It's oppression. Oppression shouldn't be validated.

You're absolutely right. Any quality "both sides" setting needs both sides to have enough agency so that it's not about oppression of one side by the other. Both can be shitty, or both can have excellent points, either way, but a good story doesn't automatically have one side in complete control over the other. They both need to have a more or less equal chance at succeeding in the overall setting, regardless of player choices or storyline beats or whatever is driving the narrative.

There are so many different dimensions and complexities that fit into the obvious real-world parallels like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine (yes, I said it) that really can't be addressed within the space of a CRPG built around killing almost everyone who gets in your way.
