For me at least it isn't that I'm "policing" what I watch, more that if I see something in it that leaves a bad taste in my mouth it makes it harder to enjoy. Classic Jontron is good enough that I don't care that there's a little voice in my head telling me that he's an asshole, but modern Jontron is lame enough that it can't drown out that voice and I have to switch it off.
The very nature of heroic storytelling in some way is fascistic (as fascism is basically what happens if all of society decides to run on the rules of like- Z grade fantasy novel level narratives). That aint gonna make me stop loving Conan or Fafhrd and The Gray Mouser
