I think Moore witnessing first-hand how Rorschach, a viscously critical portrayal of fascist ideology, was co-opted by actual fascists radicalized him against all fans of super heroes. He sees us all as comics-gate-adjacent fascist-sympathizers, and while he's right that a large portion of the super hero-consuming populace does use super heroes to support their underlying fascist tendencies, he ignores the larger percentage of us who took away the intended, positive messages from super hero stories.
The thing is... fascists are capable of perverting
anything
to support their ideologies. I've seen them twist Star Trek, of all things, to prop up their beliefs. Fascists exist, and a lot of them are drawn to super heroes because of their longing for a strongman to lead them to some kind of fictionalized, ideal past. This is true. But super heroes do not create fascists any more than violent video games create school shooters.
All this being said, despite the thesis being interesting, the linked article's argument is very poorly delivered.
