That doesn't even cross my mind as an intention. I play them for a story I enjoy. In EW the theming is so heavy-handed and the theme in question is so in conflict with my own views, and I'll go as far to say, abhorrent to me, that I find it difficult to enjoy it at all.
That's kind of my point. Everybody loves themes and nuance and character depth when it's within their values, and wishes they weren't there at all when they don't.

That's just human nature, and the people in this thread happen to be on the losing side of it for Endwalker.
