That and I'm at least provisionally prepared to believe that Charité at War actually is a nuanced look at the lives of ordinary Germans under Nazism, instead of whatever fetishy borderline apologetics shit is going on with Desert Peach. It may be less intrinsically hate-worthy.

I don't know; I haven't seen it. But it seems unlikely to me that German prestige television would produce something that dodgy on this topic.

If someone likes it for the “wrong” reasons doesn’t that pretty much negate whatever the canon is trying to do? We aren’t making spec scripts for future episodes or what have you, we’re writing fanfiction.

I guess its a YMMV thing but I believe that messy fandoms can have nuanced requests and people fan make the most messy requests of nuanced fandoms. Just because the source is morally good doesn’t mean you can’t request ‘A/B save Rohm’s life at the hospital and they run off to live together as an OT3’.

Yeah, that's all true... and every year Coal devotes some time to side-eyeing messy requests in fandoms that have no Nazis at all. I'm sure if there were obviously Nazi-fetishy c@w requests we'd be wanking about those too.

But when someone is busily pimping a canon it obviously matters whether the canon itself is dodgy, and if their pimping behavior involves the sort of sketchy bait-and-switch tactics Aquatics likes to use, that's going to reinforce people's doubts about the canon because look at the creepy fans it apparently attracts.
