GW has tried over the years to sully the tau by making them more grimdark with shadowy experimentation and control on their auxillaries and making them more aggressive with planet sieges, but that was not the original intention.
the original point of the tau, before the later grimderp writers of 6th and 7th got a hold of them, was to be a naive, relatively noble race who actually believed a good end was possible, that friendships and cooperation could triumph, and their ideals are met on the other end by the abject horror of the galaxy, between the imperium's meatgrinder theocracy or the chaos armies depraved death cults
they make the grim reality of the galaxy that much more poigniant by their relatively earnest good intentions and attempt to forge a normal society. and the later writers have utterly missed this point, every time they make the tau grimmer and darker it muddies the narrative tool they are meant to represent.
