This is a difference between the Xianzhou native POV vs the Vidyadhara POV, which is in both cases rooted in their specific biological and cultural backgrounds.
As I've mentioned in the original post, this disagreement is likely the source of tension. Given the prominence of Vidyadhara culture clash being a main precipitation for both the current and previous political mess, it would behoove the story to actually explore it.
the society they are a part of has posed the answer to that question.
As you've mentioned before, this philosophical aspect is poorly integrated into the main story. Having named major characters engage in dialogue over the subject matter would much better situate the philosophical differences. Obviously, the story as is can't have 丹恒 and 雪衣 navel gaze on the subject whilst in the middle of a chase scene, but I also highly doubt the writers would use these characters as a chance to clarify the framework of Luofu world building. I'm saying that getting 丹恒 and 雪衣's personal views would help flesh out their character. It would be much better structurally to reveal the philosophical tensions between Luofu's subcultures via major characters than via sidequests involving NPCs.
I don't think Dan Heng would find the Xianzhou POV to be a big surprise.
Again, this is for the benefit of the players/viewers. We shouldn't be trying to piece together 丹恒's ideological outlook from sidequests. When I say fleshing out the characters, that's in reference to the audience's understanding. A character is only as fleshed out as they are presented to the audience. There isn't some fully realized 丹恒 person existing in the ether of HSR. There is only what the HSR text chooses to show us, and the best way to show us 丹恒's thoughts is giving him an in story reason to verbalize said thoughts.
There was trans in HP?
Tonks was widely interpreted as gender fluid (a subset of trans) and became heteronormalized in the end. Just Google "transphobia Harry Potter" if you want an exhaustive list. This article covers some major arguments.
the "strategic" title was more imposed on him by people who formed their impressions solely based on his fan design
He's also introduced as Feixiao's strategic advisor... The title is not completely without textual support, the writing is just terrible.
