Do you hear yourself? "You're drawn to darkness so it must be because he's a Nazi!"
That’s not how this works. I’m not drawn to real-world ideology, I’m drawn to fictional intensity, psychological complexity, and morally grey characters — something media’s been built on for decades.
Acting like I sat down and said “mmm genocide, so hot” is not only offensive, it’s insultingly reductive. You have no idea why this character resonates with me, and you don’t get to rewrite my reasons to fit your outrage fantasy.
“Just pick another villain!” — No. I’m not picking characters based on your comfort. I’m not gonna water down my interests because someone out there lacks media literacy and boundaries.
If you can’t handle the line between fiction and reality, that’s a you problem. Block me, move on, and keep your condescension out of my inbox. I don’t owe you an explanation for my selfship, and I’m not here to get your permission.
