Yo,,, I really like hetalia too but I know that a lot of the content is v problematic. That doesn't mean I stop enjoying the content or think other people should but ya know you could at least respect the fact that some people don't think it's ok to enjoy content written by a nazi apologist and Japanese imperialism apologist. It sucks to find out that something you love is really problematic, and I don't think you should stop producing hetalia content, but don't ya think you're being harsh?
okay, i don’t think himaruya is legit a ‘n.azi apologist’, like, what. he portrays history wrong, a lot, sure. that irks me too. i really dislike the way the fandom takes it sometimes too but. i sincerely think its a little too much with the way tumblr goes out and calls the entire hetalia fandom n.azis, call the entire anime and manga n.azi propaganda, etc. like. what.
like yea. there’s a lot of problems. i recognize that heavily. i hate part of the canon content too. a lot of it, actually. as someone who deeply loves history the inaccuracies upset me sometimes. the entire first season or two makes me physically cringe. but like
all i’m trying to say is leave people alone and let them like what they like. if someone genuinely goes out and defends nazis in this fandom, fuck them then, but if you’re solely going to generalize the ENTIRE fandom for that one person being a dick, fuck you. that’s my statement on this.
let people enjoy this shitty fandom while it’s still here because it’s dying, and by going around calling it out in it’s most inactive years is not making you a ‘savior’ of any kind. where were you when the fandom was in it’s height with it’s ‘yaoi’ fetishizers and the most wildly racist and inaccurate portrayals in the fandom.
the fandom is on it’s last legs and people genuinely enjoy playing around with the multicultural characters. like the majority of the fandom doesn’t even follow canon anymore. that’s all i’m saying. i’m just sick of this. i don’t care if i’m being harsh these people are genuinely going around making call-outs post for a dying fandom and i’m done with it.
i try to ignore it but it keeps popping up and it’s making me anxious that i’m gonna end up with an insult in my inbox calling me a fucking n.azi for liking to talk about countries and history. obviously it’s not gonna make people stop if i complain but it won’t stop me from doing it when i feel i need to.
