The eroticism of warriors or just hot guys dying in battle or being assassinated (especially featuring some sort of nudity) is a known aspect of gay-influenced fine arts anyways.
Throughout renaissance and baroque this is often noticed in artworks, especially in st. Sebastian themes.
Here is a good example of some film art related interview

Also, even big brands like Andrew Christian refer to it in some ways once in a while:

...not to mention the 300 franchise lol
Of course, I only keep this to myself and community like yours, but my point is that it doesn't mean you are a bad person, just having one of many other existing types of fetishes...
Also if I feel it takes too much of my spare time (participating in forums and making some artworks), I just give it a break, and then just check on it later... It's not a job that you have to keep doing, don't push it
Take it easy
Thanks! Much appreciated!

If you search mindfulness on youtube, you'll find tons of videos. You can also look up distress tolerance, radical acceptance or DBT.
Here is one video that gives you some mindfulness exercises you can do one your own.
