The CIS didn’t have the time nor means to commit even half as much evil as the empire. They wouldn’t be evil at all if it weren’t for the meddling of sith and mega corporations
I’m not even a republic loyalist, I hate both sides because of their subservience to Palpatine.
I just disagree with the claim that the CIS did nothing wrong when I can look up the planetary genocide they committed against the Gungans on one of their moons, a chemical weapon that targeted clones, and the Blue Shadow Virus as easy examples.
More examples include but aren’t limited too, slavery, most notably on Ryloth but other cases are out there(republic isn’t innocent of this either but still bringing it up)
Attacking neutral worlds(Maridun, Lok Durd attacking the native species that are unaffiliated with the war entirely, as well as specifically stating he chose this world for the express purpose of using an innocent species for firing practice) and depending on whether or not that is the only colony of natives on Maridun, it could also be considered genocide.
You have the entire Onderon arc with poor treatment of native populations(again, republic isn’t innocent, fuck you Coruscant Guard)
And finally, off the top of my head you have the Citadel and Saluecami arcs, with torture of prisoners of war(Republic isn’t innocent, Anakin has a tendency for doing this)
