libs treat nuance like a food group, you need 5 to 9 servings of nuance a day or you die of tankieitis
Very similar
were behind the "grey jedi" fad in the Star Wars fandom. They thought that the "balanced" way to use the Force was a carefully administered number of acts of cruelty and selfishness for their ego-insert characters. 
Disclaimer: I know the Jedi Order was magic cops that kidnapped and indoctrinated children; an actually nuanced version of the setting would have a lot more room for Force users that reject the Jedi/Sith entirely and don't just go Diet Sith to avoid unpleasant labels.
Sith are interesting because their code is actually not awful? If you avoid all connotations of what Sith actually are in media.
There's room in that for a philosophy about self-actualization, liberation, and revolutionary action. But no, it's only antisocial edgelords. You can be that, or a magic cop.
I wasn't directly knocking the Sith, though in application throughout the lore the Sith apply the above code in Ayn Rand style ways and put others in chains and deny them their passions, deprive them of power, and enslave them.
The Sith code is too individualistic. I looked up the Jedi Code, and it doesn't have the "I." The Jedi Code can be interpreted as what is vs what ought to be or the individual vs society vs the universe.
