But it's not a "random Evil Empire" trope. The trope is specifically based on the Nazi aesthetic, fascism, and modernity. You'll notice that none of these evil empires look like the Romans, or the Greeks, or the Mongols, or the Aztecs, or Communist China or Imperial China or North Korea.
It's NOT neutral, and it's not made-up.
And you know what, just like you compared to rape fantasies - yeah, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who are uncomfortable with Nazi fetishization, because to them, Nazis will never be anything other than the nightmare that killed their family.

I should also add that I guess I'm looking at it from a slightly systemic/abstract angle, since I study literature haha
