Here's a link.

Does it fail as satire? Does this kind of thing work as good satire for specific people? Somebody explain.

I think that even with GW literally spelling it out for them most of the cryptofascists who idolize it will carry on carrying on unperturbed.

Makes sense. "Death of the author" is a double-edged blade.

What could work is to push a sessesion narative over this, to make the Nazis split from the main fandom and then fade to irrelevance. Like, seed the idea that this is going wrong and that they need their own even more fascist version that hardly nyon with a brain would support. Could keep em distracted though
