There's definitely the group you're talking about, which Sartre pretty accurately described. They're just amusing themselves by deliberately defacing media because it's funny to them. "The anti-Semites have the right to play" and all that.
They're a minority. The majority are just "wow cool future!" when they see a piece of media like Starship Troopers. They're very susceptible to that minority of reactionaries, but I think they can just as easily be swayed away from a reactionary reading of media by the very next person that talks to them. They don't really believe anything, they'll just adopt the last thing they heard.
Unfortunately, reactionaries have way more time to talk about movies and video games.
