The article seems to be clickbait & the author was jumping to conclusions... Bernthal has emphasized on several occasions that far-right folks simply misinterpret what the character stands for leading to their misuse of the skull symbol.

Not impressed with the author of that article jumping to conclusions.
And not impressed with readers of that article then jumping to conclusions about Bernthal.
Don't trust the press. Do your research and come to your own conclusions!
Yeah, actually I was VERY confused about the article knowing that Bernthal had heavily criticized the misuse of The Punisher & his symbol. That's why I posted the article here... I wanted to know the reactions/opinions of other ppl & that I was not the only one to find this article puzzling.

I hope this mini series doesn't end up with Frank killing innocents/non-combatants and after that him dying or worse turning truly evil.
Same opinion. Hope we'll see more Punisher stories in the future. But I'm not so sure about this mini because, well... Jason Aaron. He definitely has some good stories - it's said that Scalped (not Marvel, but DC Vertigo) is pretty good. We'll see.
I just happened to find this really short video on YT: Quesada tells his opinion about why Jon Bernthal was the ideal person for playing the Punisher in the TV show.

@InvincibleBeawulf
Yes Scalped is that good. Native American Noir. I never came across something like it. Hard to imagine that's the same Jason Aaron who does Marvel work. I do not like his PunisherMAX
Wasn't there a more recent Punisher Appreciation Thread that wasn't closed around here? For some reason I can't find it, so I'm posting this here...
Echoing batnbreakfast, yes, Scalped really is amazing. But outside of Scalped and his Punisher Max, which I thought was good, I haven't read anything else by Aaron.
Looks like he'll be getting a revamped skull logo to avoid the controversy associated with the old one
Yeah, there's indeed another Punisher thread:
