I think people fail to see that neither side of the war between the Demon Lord and the Order are necissarily "evil". The Order is a totalitarian religious state ,with a nasty hate streak towards monsters and heavy emphasis on hard work over pleasure. However, it also stands for the betterment of humanity as a whole, courage, honor, and serving the gods. All of which one could argue are noble and desirable traits to have.

On the flip side, the Demon Lord threatens the human race as a whole, since monsters can only give birth to daughters. If her dream became a reality, humans and monsters would slowly mate themselves to extinction (an ironic twist which still amuses me). However, she does not do this out of hatred. Rather, she loves humans, and wants humans and monsters to be joined together in pleasure and love, which is something everyone longs for in their life.

So this really isn't a setting of "this side is good, the other is bad", but is more a case of "The road to h*ll is lined with good intentions" on BOTH sides of the fight. At least, that's how I see things.
