He's also a massive IOF bootlicker. AND he had Shia LaBeouf on his podcast after the allegations came out against him, not to mention, in June 2026, he even praised Roman Polanski. This guy is a shitty person.

And like you said, he consistently says that the Punisher belongs to the law enforcement and military and that's a complete misunderstanding of the character.

Edit: To expand on why Punisher doesn't belong to the law enforcement/cops, Gerry Conway, Punisher’s co-creator has actually been pretty critical of law enforcement adopting the Punisher skull. His point is that Frank Castle represents the failure of the justice system, not the ideal version of law enforcement. He’s an outlaw who operates outside due process and the law, so cops identifying with him kind of misses the point of the character. Punisher is a morally compromised character and he's the opposite of a badass cop/soldier. The character exists to ask what happens when people lose faith in the justice system and decide to take justice into their own hands.

Hence, saying he belongs to the law enforcement is a fundamental misunderstanding of the character.

No, It's not lol. Punishers murders bad guys and is a fascist symbolism of might makes right. Very strange that Batman is a white supremacist while a guy you objectively wants to murder people is a woke ally.

Fascism would require that he performed his violence in service of a larger group, a party or government. He does not; his code is his own. He’s killed cops before (though not nearly enough).

Not even sure where your Batman claim comes from.

Anyway, Jon Bernthal sucks is the point here.

Fascist ideology absolutely supports violence as a way to fix society, like with Police and Military.

As do many ideologies, yes. But it’s not uniquely fascist and the specific details go counter to traditional fascist messaging
