Didn't they also kidnap and imprison at least one of DK's family members?
In Donkey Kong, he (Donkey Kong) kidnaps Pauline and Mario comes to save her. Then in Donkey Kong Jr. the old Donkey Kong (Cranky Kong in Donkey Kong Country) gets kidnapped my Mario and DKs son (Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country) has to save his father. Donkey Kong 3 looks like just some Donkey Kong (who knows which) rampaging and a dude saving his flowers.
In Country the Bananas get stolen, then in Country 2 K. Rool kidnaps DK, and Country 3 has some mind control or something, maybe kidnapping.
OG DK started it, but in Country it was all because of K. Rool.
Donkey and Diddy are kidnapped in DKC 3, that's why Dixie initially heads out alone before getting saddled with Kiddie by Funky.
Maybe I read that wrong, but Cranky was the OG DK and Cranky is the one who kidnapped Pauline in the 1981 arcade game. Our boy DK in the picture is his grandson.

And in DK64 his coconut gun fires in spurts
None of those reasons are what I could consider morally wrong.
Didn’t Kirby destroy entire planets or something just because he got woken up from a nap?
To be fair, Kirby is a literal eldritch god. So only destroying a few planets is still probably on the good side for him.
He also does it for sport! To be fair it's not complete destruction, but still
