For me it's Dragon Ball Z, that was a pretty fucked up show tbh.
Like holy shit, all the characters are terrible people except maybe Gohan and Trunks.

As a kid I played a game called Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, a flight sim by LucasArts designed by the guy who would later do X-Wing and TIE Fighter (I guess the latter was also bad because you fought with the space fascists). You could fly all kinds of Nazi planes that never saw action in real life like jet fighters, and it wasn't until much later whenI realized that glorifying cool Nazi superweapons was bad, actually.
Same with Panzer General, which was a fun lite strategy game otherwise, but you literally played as Nazi Germany. I can't believe that actually wasn't considered a big deal at the time.
It's kind of the same way I feel about anyone who's hobby is WWII related. There's such a fine line between historical realism and doing history justice and glorifying fascism.
it'd be funny to have a flight sim like that where the plane just spontaneously explodes if you open the throttle too much or exceed a certain wind speed or fly for too long.
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 does it! and it's very common with the Me-262. If you open up the throttle without caution, one or both of your engines will catch fire and possibly explode, that makes flying the aircraft somewhat difficult. Also I remember when I played IL-2 as a kid that I thought the 262 was an absolute beast and could beat anyone in the skies, and despite having high top speed and ridiculous firepower, the aircraft was a terrible dogfighter and I was getting clapped over and over by Soviet La-7 prop fighters lmao. Also I remember trying to solo a formation of B-17s and dying because .50 gunners would hit my exposed engine and it'll catch fire. What a fantastic game, it was made by a russian studio so they never bought that wunderwaffe crap even if they added german "what ifs", most of them are shite but fun to play.
I think they do that in Il-2 Great Battles (the current game), too. It's a really cool series!
Glorifying FAILED Nazi super weapons that never saw the light of day. Ones that took an American video game studio to bring them to life, 40 years after the war?
Meh. I try not to take such things too seriously. Like all those B movies that feature secret Nazi zombies under the ice of Antarctica. It's for the lulz.
