Thats because the character was originally created for a UK government-backed game designed to help young people recognise and resist right-wing ideology.

The right then took the character and made it their ironic symbol.

It does sound like a worthy goal of the government but I hope this backfire doesn't taint goth culture by attracting the right to it. I have a lot of respect for goths, they're super nice people. Very progressive.

I guess the right are too conservative to wear purple hair, makeup and sexy clothing though.
