So, there's a lot of discussion about this, so lets make it a game, shall we?
The Aether Foundation is... mysterious, to say the least. A good portion of the fandom has latched onto them being evil and pretending to be good. Now, this is a very obvious conclusion, they follow some of the Evil Team standards, right down to the grunts.
Do you think the fandom is on the right track? Or is this a "double red herring", they present something, people assume the opposite out of suspicion, but it's in fact genuine? Place your bets now folks!
