Ngl I find it weird when people get tattoos of fictional bad enemies that are meant to be emulations or real world imperialists (like all the Star Wars Imperial Star tattoo folks).
Also, Harry Potter people who ID as the house that's exclusively racist fascist in the books.
Star Wars did this deliberately by marketing their merchandise as some kind of active choice you're making by buying the good guy toys or the bad guys. It's all merchandising and aesthetics at the corporate level that filters down to the average person as "space fascism is actually very cool"

This made me think about it and I think I agree. Like I don't do that kind of brand shit anyway, but I get why someone would have something with a logo of like Team Rocket (or Aqua/Magma, etc) or the Akatsuki or some other group, but the fucking Empire or Slitherin or Death Eaters? No way in hell. If you like Vader, just get something with his helmet and if you like Snape just watch other movies with Alan Rickman like Dogma because he really carried the character.
Like, there's kooky or maniacal ambitions, then there's just being depraved sickos, and if someone identifies with depraved sickos they should maybe look for counseling instead of merchandising.
Edit:
spoiler for chainsaw man manga
Makima is real evil, but she wasn't like a sadist or anything, just ruthless, and there did turn out to be arguably an even kookier motivation underlying her coldblooded conspiracy than the literal children's cartoon villains I mentioned above.
