At first it seems like it's anti-materialism and anti-capitalism so I assumed it was a leftist meme but going deeper, there seems to be a lot of far-right views baked into the memes too. Especially traditionalism.

So what is it really about?

It's supposed to be making fun of blind fanboys, but as with any meme it gets misused to the point it loses its meaning. Sometimes it's used simply because "you like this game that I don't like."

They seem very anti-Disney, anti-Marvel and anti-Nintendo in particular.

Basically, people who don't like consumerism but don't have any coherent view on it.

This is true, but they're probably not the people who are mad at Star Wars. They might pretend to be mad at Star Wars or whatever in order to organize support from people who are mad about Star Wars, but I'm not sure how prevalent they are compared to the people they are targeting.
