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

[Brinne]

My friend, all I'm offering is a different lens from which to view aspects of the story. If anything, it was my hope that explaining how some of these plot threads may be related to, or find root explanations in, Japanese culture/religion may open up new perspectives and understandings that go beyond a Eurocentric binary of "makes sense/doesn't make sense". My goal was not to definitively state "Yeah, Yoshi P and crew were definitely and intentionally hammering Japanese culture into this plot point", so much as providing new context. By all means, you can take it or leave it. So you can understand why it may seem a bit hollow for that to immediately be dismissed with "by claiming that Japanese culture may have at all influenced the game, you are dehumanizing Japanese people (but let me put in parentheses that you're not doing that so you don't get offended)".

If you want good faith, give it in kind.

For what it's worth, I was sincerely trying to post in good faith, and my "I don't think you are doing this" remarks were also sincere and my trying to be very clear about my stance and concerns and where they laid. I was hoping that since, well, honestly, you seemed like a thoughtful person who made insightful posts, "hey, let's be careful about where these kinds of broad generalizations could go in an environment already jumped-up on 'devs dumb and bad' juice" wouldn't be so grating. Again, I'm in a position in society where generalizations about "I bet your behavior is because of X condition you live in" is familiar, and can easily become upsetting. Perhaps I could have worded it better. But it's clear everyone would like to just drop this, so sure.
