I know this is late, but just wanted to say that even if they were aware, a lot of people in the East who don't care about Western sensibilities. There's no way educated people in South Korea, Japan or China and so on have never at least heard of the Nazis yet they
love romanticizing them. As recently as 2021, you can still find some Nazi-esque cafes in East Asia.
Speaking of which, it's quite amusing seeing the standards between the West and East. Western "stans" seethe whenever a Western celeb tans their skin, makes their eyes look more "slanted" or wears boxbraids. Yet they seemingly ignore or give a pass to how normalized plastic surgery culture is in the East. Virtually every K-Pop idol bleaches their skin, gets plastic surgery to change their eye or nose shape and they often wear coloured contacts or dye their hair light colours and Westerners still stan them. So many K-Pop idols do Hip-Hop/R&B and I seldom see serious discussion on "blackfishing" or "cultural appropriation" from Western stans that aren't met with backlash from other K-Pop stans rushing to defend their idols.
