The Fallout series in a nutshell. There are a terrifying number of Libertarians and fascists that love the series, despite its overt anticapitalist themes and messages.

Warhammer too. I don't have any proof, but my subjective experience leads me to believe that the vast majority of players/enjoyers of the franchise are right wingers, which is funny considering that a good amount of lore exists exclusively to make fun of them.

The same people who enjoyed Metal Gear Solid because it's a cool game about shooting the bad guys, I guess.

Heck, I once watched Starship Troopers with a friend, only to spend the following five hours arguing, because he insisted that the film (which is a very on-the-nose parody of fascism and militarism) actually makes fun of anti-fascists. I don't know how you can misunderstand something so badly.

They're willing to ignore the criticism of facism in exchange for a chance to roleplay being a space nazi.

If we truly took everything to heart for its original message, every American is suppose to be insulted by Yankee Doodle.
