It's not that hard to disentangle, though. It is pretty easy to say these two characters are completely evil and I also like the idea of them being in love or having sex or whatever. Yes, a lot of woobifying happens with some fans. And I'm not a personal fan of that. But that isn't a necessary way to ship. And besides, fiction is still fiction, and as long as it isn't effecting your real life views, I don't think it is doing anything or anyone any harm. So I don't see the problem.

And I actually think using the term Nazi to refer to fictional characters who are not in fact Nazis weakens the term. Nazis are Nazis. There are lots of different kinds of evil. Nazis are one specific evil. Lets stop using it to refer to every evil.

THIS.

And not just in relation to this one particular word/descriptor. Overusing any word without regard for its origin and purpose risks numbing people to it and soon it loses its initial significance.

Absolutely. check out the fake journalist but real comedian and political commentator Jonathan Pie's "We've Reached Peak Nazi" for a rant about exactly what Nazi means and doesn't and why misusing the term is bad.
