it's a matter of perspective. The way the show makes it seem, the Grimm were around before humans but were defeated when humans gained a weapon they couldn't compete with.

To the Grimm, evil or not, it can't be seen as "fair". But that's the way it works. when a conflict is resolved, the loser is seen as the one in the wrong. manifest of heaven and all that, history is written by the victor.

so, it's entirely plausible that the grimm aren't quite as evil as the show makes them out to be, but i don't think they can fall into the category of innocent defenders of what is their since humans had to create an order of highly skilled and extravagently(?) equipped warriors just to combat them
