Is AOT fascist? It's one of the few anime series I've watched, and really liked it back in the day. I know it's like, got an imperial German aesthetic, but I didn't know there was more to it.
I found this polygon article that explained it (I scrolled down to the "Good, Bad, and Very Bad" section because I don't care to get too deep into it tonight lmao).
It sounds like the writer definitely holds nationalist, anti-Korean thoughts and some themes in the manga/anime can be compared to antisemitic conspiracies. That sucks. I only watched the first season of the show (and I can't remember how it ended), and I never got to the part about the Eldians and Yaegerists, so that stuff is completely unknown to me.
it's hard to be upset when someone uses a fascist anime to make a fascist message.

Iirc theres a part of the plot that's a pretty open-faced justification for the Madagascar Plan, but I dont remember the details
