THE FANS While every fanbase has it's idiots who ruin it for everyone else, Hetalia is one of those fanbases where a person's first taste of the Hetalia fanbase can come from those idiots. Me, loving history and world cultures, would've hated Hetalia if I met the idiots before the real fans. Thankfully I didn't and got into Hetalia. But some people in the fanbase need to learn the difference between the hilariously satirical history of Hetalia and the serious and not-so-hilarious history of something I like to call reality. They also need to learn the difference between what can be made funny in Hetalia terms and what's just crossing the line. CHARACTER PORTRAYAL Well most of the countries portrayals don't bother me much apart from Lithuania, Latvia and ESPECIALLY Poland's. But it's only very minor, it only bothers me when aforementioned idiotic peminat-peminat take one aspect of these characters and blow it out of proportion. For example, Poland's crossdressing atau Latvia's habit of stuttering. I don't mind Canada being portrayed as invisible, because I read somewhere that most of Canada's WWII efforts were considered British ones, hence the whole 'Canada is invisible' thing. But since most of Hetalia's strips have lebih atau less moved off WWI and WWII means that Canada's portrayal isn't as 'acceptable'. I only put up with it for the personality contrast with America. But here comes the idiotic peminat-peminat again! They'll ignore Canadian members of the Hetalia community just because they're country is often portrayed as being invisible atau at least largely ignored. CHARACTER JOKES I've already went over the whole 'Canada is invisible' thing, so I'll go over two other character jokes that largely tick me off. Which are 'Spain is a pedo' and 'France is a rapist'. If Spain is a pedo, just because he likes being with children, that must make all my male teachers pedos as well. Also, it sounds like your reinforcing stereotypes which is 'only women can like children'. Seriously if Spain was a women in the first place I bet none of these jokes would exist. Why? Because as I said, apparently, men can't like children because it makes them pedos. GUYS THERE'S AS MANY FEMALE PEDOS AS THERE ARE MALE ONES. So there, that's Makanan for thought. seterusnya is 'France is a rapist'. Sure, he's perverted. Sure, he's flirty. Sure, he gets touchy-feely with others. But there's plenty of other characters anda are either pervy, flirty atau touchy-feely as well and I here no one calling them rapists. Like...oh, I don't know. ITALY!? He touches other characters and flirts with women but no one calls him a rapist. Germany watches a variety of pornographic material and no one calls him a rapist. I could go on. This also accounts for people in real life. Not every pervy, flirty and/or touchy-feely person anda meet is a rapist. That's all I can think of right now.
