Not sure I would go that far. There is a lot of gray involved. Raven isn't exactly evil, but she isn't exactly good either. Ironwood certainly seems good yet his actions often rightly come as malevolent. You could say there is a black and white struggle at the center of the story, which is accurate to the best of our knowledge at the moment. Even there we can't say for certain there isn't some moral ambiguity. Not enough is known about Ozpin and Salem to say for certain whether their struggle can be seen in black and white. The Faunus storylines pretty strongly highlight the morally gray aspects of the universe.

Actually, I was referring to mostly Opzin side vs Salem side - which has been pretty black and white. Not saying Ozpin can do no wrong, but for most part is a pure and simple: good vs evil.

Raven is evil. She might not as evil as Salem, but she's evil: come on, she has destroyed entire villages and either killed everyone in those villages or left them to die.

The Faunus is the only with shades of grey, and honestly even then, I think RT tried their best to make them as light and black as possible. No one is really wondering if Adam may have some reason or Corsac etc. Because even if they did, they are so extreme that no one can really support them.

And I'm not saying this to bring the show down. Good vs evil stories can be great if done well
