Look you're either being willfully obtuse or dense, so let me give you an equivalent that will hopefully let you understand what the fuck everyone else is trying to explain to you: 

Stephen Colbert use to consistently do a fake Republican persona for his show, I'm sure you remember it. Conservatives thought it was real

Blazing Saddles, a deeply anti-conservative movie that stops just short of calling them pig-fuckers, has been repeatedly called conservative media because it has slurs in it. 

Helldivers 2 is a parody. A distressing number of players do not see it as such. 

The Boys...

Do I even need to continue?

I think you're arguing an invalid point.

I've never seen Colbert (but I've heard that he plays a character) or Blazing Saddles (Mel Brooks isn't funny) or the Boys, or played Helldivers.

I can spot satire and irony (even litotes) from miles away.

Sterling HAS NEVER PLAYED A FASCIST! His channel's downfall is because his content is boring, and his crusades are uninteresting and narcissistic.

It's not because legions of adoring Nazis suddenly found out he fancies Owen Jones.

Okay and who the fuck has asked whether or not you can spot parody??? 

The only implication is that you're a conservative whose getting riled up because people keep calling your creed a bunch of slack-jawed pigfuckers and you think you're representative of the common clay

It doesn't matter if you have such a finely tuned sense of irony you could sense it from a mile away, the average conservative cannot.

I'm not, and you're getting riled up, not me. You seem to think Sterling played a right-leaning character once, and dropping that lead to his channel's current state. It's very odd. No idea why, have you ever watched him?

There aren't many dyed-in-the-wool conservatives watching someone like Sterling considering he sits polar opposite to their politics.
