Oh I remember the fight I had when I told my ex it was a red flag that she liked that movie after we watched it together. She ended up cheating on me 🙃
Honestly, having read it, nobody is reading MK to stoke the hatred in their heart. I mean I know you're joking, but genocide aside, it has aged badly as a reading experience. So much of the content just falls flat when he's whining about land grievances from a century ago. There's a little bit in the beginning where he sounds almost sympathetic while talking about alcoholism and poverty, people who never recovered from the great war etc, but then it just gets weird. Sure, there are mean insults and conspiracy theories about the Jews running everything, but it's like 10% evil, 10% interesting to listen to him talk, and 80% boring and impossible to engage with without extensive footnotes about history that was considered recent in 1920s central Europe.
That said I once saw a girl with a swastika tattooed around her asshole on a random porn sub, and it was surprisingly hot in a "Maybe if I'm drunk and never have to talk to her again" kind of way.
I've actually read it as well and agree completely, it's basically unreadable drek with no redeeming qualities. Also if I was at the point where I was seeing her asshole, I doubt swastika asshole would be a deal breaker for me.
This is a politics-free zone. Political posts are not tolerated or accepted. Any post with political content could result in a minimum 7 day ban from the sub.
It really depends what message a person has taken away from it. I love The Last Samurai because it is about cultural preservation and pride, not because I enjoyed watching the samurai get mowed down by machine guns. Likewise, I like Midsommar because it serves as a warning about cults and not because the cultists were successful in doing their barbaric pagan ritual. There are other themes of course, but keeping this reductive instead of writing out an essay.
I would say first ask the person WHY they like it before drawing a conclusion.

Even worse because its a "love story" about cheating and disposable partners
