Star Wars fandom is weird because you see just how much of the population doesn't actually know or care much about politics, but picks teams from narrative fragments, aesthetics, & attitudes. There really are a ton of folks who are like "the empire rocks, rebels are p--sies"
What would you do differently if you had to represent fascism as bad to such an audience? I'm considering making an anti-fascist video game at some point but this is one of my big worries, that the more nakedly I present fascism the more it will function like real fascism does

A part of fascism that I've always found fascinating, underexplored, and impossible to make look good is its reliance on narratives based on insecurities over objective reality. Maybe that can be a core theme for your fascists?

Can you clarify? You just mean the category of narratives like "white replacement" and Jewish conspiracy and etc?
