The Empire and now the First Order have always been Nazi analogues, yes. But that doesn't mean people who are in any way interested in those characters automatically have a Nazi kink. Honestly, that's kind of a fucked up accusation. I mean, you wouldn't say that Lucas and JJ and all the various Star Wars script writers are Nazi sympathizers because they created those characters. You wouldn't hiss "Nazi lover" at children buying Darth Vader toys. But both of those examples would make a similar level of sense to your accusation.
I don't ship Kylux because I prefer my OTPs fluffy and fun. I'm guessing you don't ship it either. But telling people who are into it that they're practicing Nazi kink is reaching. I absolutely understand why, with your history, characters who are on the side of the Empire or the First Order would be repellent to you. That's totally understandable. But there is a difference between "these characters make me uncomfortable because of their visual and thematic ties to Nazis" and "if you like these characters then you are obviously turned-on by Nazis".
