Somewhere between Hogan's Heroes and Downfall there is a relate-ability valley that must be avoided.

Not that I have any room to talk myself lol. I have a Goku black pfp.

But if I could vote on a good way to write a fash villain, I’d make them like elf from Elf Comic because she makes for a good loser fascist villain already with this comic and this one and the one where Elf chooses death over associating with the so-called ‘lesser races’ as good inspiration.

I’m even personally working on writing a story of an elf who’s a total loser fascist called Forsan and all he has going for him is “at least I’m an elf!” (the story title). He starts off as a loser, but at least has a few loser elf friends he hangs out with but eventually those friends start getting to know all the “prey races” that they were told were beneath them by the elf supremacist content creators they watch on crystal ball (this universe’s version of tv, phones, computers, etc.). Forsan’s friends eventually mature past their elf snobbery while Forsan doubles down and ends up becoming the least popular in-universe character and makes zero achievements with his life….he ends the story friendless but I’m debating whether he realizes he messed up big time or he copes by simply assuring himself that he’s an elf and everyone clearly must be jealous of him and the world is plotting against him.

I try to play into one fear that reactionaries have: being unpopular, and therefore no one respecting them.
