You accept KOTOR which just throws in a few "generic KISS rejects" that mysteriously (i.e. completely unexplained by the game) call themselves Sith and exclusively use red lightsabres.
In my canon, Revan and Malak aren't Darths, aren't Sith, and don't weild red lightsabers.
But on the other hand, you don't accept SWTOR which brings back Sith (not just humans, but also redskin ones) that use red lightsabres (there are quite a few Sith in TOR who don't use red lightsabre btw).
It doesn't matter if biological Sith make an appearance if they're portrayed as KISS rejects with lightsabers instead of sword-and-sorcery type warriors with alchemically forged swords.
And FYI, I'm aware that a few Sith in TOR use other lightsaber colours beyond red. Red still remains the primary colour they use.
Judging from your posts, you seem to hate human Sith.
I don't hate human Sith. I hate it when a writer decides to use the Sith Empire in their story without sticking to how the Sith of the Sith Empire were originally depicted.
Assumingly because you like TOTJ, which mysteriously made Sith redskin species (it has been a while since I read it but I am pretty sure they offer no explanation).
Following the Great Hyperspace War, the Sith Empire crumbled and the Sith race eventually became extinct. Their lore and artifacts survived, however, and found their ways into the hands of Dark Jedi like Freedon Nadd, who then passed their knowledge down to their descendants and apprentices, keeping the Sith legacy alive.
Not only can this information be inferred from what is revealed in the TOTJ comics, but it is concretely established in the Tales from the Jedi Companion.
If we go back to the point where the concept of Sith was actually created, namely OT. Vader was not a redskin alien. He was a human and in fact unmasked he looked pretty much like what you would refer to as "generic KISS reject".
Unmasked Vader looks like a sad, damaged old man, not a KISS reject, as he doesn't have a bunch of stupid black tattoos criss-crossing his face.
So why didn't you protest when TOTJ made Sith into redskin aliens and contradicted what we see in OT? Why did you just accept the crap that completely contradicted to what you knew from OT, and why did you begin to hate everything that actually goes in parallel with OT?
Because TOTJ clearly established a difference between the Sith of the Sith Empire and the later Sith like Vader and never tried to confuse the two. TOR -- like almost all current stories about the Sith -- justs sticks generic PT-inspired Sith into any nook and cranny it can find, context or original intent of whatever works it may be going off of be damned.
SWTOR, if anything, just tried to salvage the mess TOTJ made and connect the dots the best it could.
TOTJ made no mess. If anything, it left some historical blanks to fill -- blanks that probably would have been filled if the bullshit prequels hadn't come out and taken over the comics.
