What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[CrownySuccubus]

Has anyone ever actually said they're a bigoted, racist ass and that's why they like Garlemald? What people are you around that speak like this? Or..... could it be that you are simply extrapolating such results onto the likes of Theodric and the others? Please. Explain to me where precisely you have acquired this logic and pattern of thought, if it is NOT in fact you making assumptions of your own biases?

Just going to quote myself the last time Theodric complained about this subject:

I mean, liking Garlemald is one thing. They look cool, act tough, and have cool machines. That doesn't make anyone a Nazi.

But, if someone (speaking generally here) were to say that they thought Garlemald was right or that their actions were laudable, that'd definitely be cause for concern.

I'm not sure what was supposedly said, so I make no accusations. But, generally speaking, it's one thing to say that the Empire is cool. It's another thing entirely to say that the Empire is cool because they conquer what they deem inferior races and think only the strong should survive and rule.

The point is, I don't know under what context these "accusations" were made. I certainly hope that no one actually said anything red-flag worthy, but this is the internet in 2022. You can't rule out anything.

Theodric's point seems to imply that he wants anybody to be able to like anything for any reason, but that's impossible, because there definitely ARE reasons for liking something that lack validity or reasonableness.
