Well I for one am relieved that Star Wars/Thrawn’s fanbase doesn’t actually have any (not that I have seen anyway) group of socially inept fanboys who are like “you need to be intelligent to read into Thrawn’s character, not everyone is smart enough to understand his tactical thinking, i am extremely smart and I am very similar to Thrawn you see :)” or similar circlejerk shit like, say, with the rick&morty fandom who make me embarassed for liking it.
“I have no qualms about accepting a useful idea merely because it wasn’t my own. My position and ego are not at stake here…”
