What incorrect message or theme is commonly found by viewers of Fight Club?
I mean, it's narrated. The movie directly tells you what it's thinking.
Other's words say it better than mine. The below is just one misinterpretation. Another common and related one is as a justification and excuses for male toxicity. It does describe contributing factors for male toxicity but neither advicates for nor excuses it, it's actually a satire of it but, hey, some people think Starship Troopers is just an action flick about killing alien bugs.
From an article in Medoium on the topic:

Ooooh, so people miss the fact that the POV character is mentally ill and that everything Tyler Durden does is literally insane?
How? The movie comes out and says that point blank.
Oddly enough, the Blue Man Group sums up the message of Fight Club the best - without even trying to - in their Complex Rock Tour:
In a world where the cause of literally every character's misery is extreme loneliness, the one man who does anything about it is the guy who is also suffering from severe untreated schizophrenia. Domestic terrorism ensues.
