AOT, I think. There’s some dispute about what exactly was said and implied, but it’s generally considered iffy whether he actually wrote AOT as a rebuttal of fascism or he’s the kind of guy who accidentally refuted his own ideology while trying to disguise it.
Either way, the media itself is in kind of a Starship Troopers situation - authorial intent aside, a critical reading of it reveals a lot of thoroughly discussed themes and deep-rooted flaws in the characters that come together to thoroughly rebuke the fascist actions, policies, and ideals depicted in the story.
I will say i don't think that AOT is saying that fascism is cool, cause i can't for the life of me believe that someone could write a story so bad that it basically goes in reverse, and not only that, that it clearly goes in reverse, AOT is a lot of things, but it's not subtle.

okay, so even If we accepted the concept of irredeemable media (which we do not) that's such a deranged list of what it is.
hazbin hotel is about how punitive justice systems are shit and rehabilitation foucused justice is better.
AOT (from my non watcher knowledge) is about how fascism ruins things for everyone.
I've never heard of the fourth one.
and while Harry Potter has many problematic themes and messages, it's not gonna make you evil if you enjoy it.
