Child soldiers? Live and die for the empire, they’re doing their part :im-doing-my-part:

Needless violence for the sake of violence? Hell yeah brother that’s the good shit :le-pol-face:

it doesn’t work. Anyone with fascist potential will look at whatever “Genocide Bad Guy The Metaphor Is Literally Spelled Out For You Armada” and think they’re fucking sick. You’re giving the fascists material.

IMO, if you really want to satirize fascism, hit them where it hurts: they are fucking incompetent buffoons who act like they’re god’s chosen race because they have no positive qualities besides the promised intrinsic ones.

    I'm pretty certain at this point that if most of Hexbear did head the revolution that Soviet Realism would actually be the only allowed art style.

      i mean you can try to satirize fascist brutality, not stopping you, but they generally use it as their own agitprop lol. i'm a fan of starship troopers, i wrote this while mad at chuds who like it

        Along with symbols/master race names from India and a bunch of Norse shit and the OK sign. Fash does that. It's part of their game

            I get being mad at chuds getting stuff wrong but if they got it right, they wouldn't be chuds. It's just a risk that comes with doing an art because fascists exist. I'm pro keeping the art and doing away with the fascists and see considering them an L in that front

        Name a piece of popular genre fiction that isn't Star Trek and couldn't be taken as fascist

            I said popular genre fiction not some game from 2017 that I had to google. If your parents don't know what it is it doesn't count.

                Cause it's easy enough to cherry pick obscure stuff and I'm making the point that pretty much all mainstream media has fascist undertones at the least. Attacking actually good satire that could also work on our side our is at least entertainment meant for us cause we got it as intended isn't worth it and speaks to a puritanical view on art in general that I've seen where everything is only interpreted as didactic.
