No, I didn't say Sweden hated Gustav III himself. :) I said he hated his fashion sense and felt iffy about the man. I just can't imagine him wearing wigs and frills because he likes them also, the thought of nation-tans suffering from Gustavian fashion makes me laugh, because I'm a sadist.

I like so very dearly all of Gustav Vasa's troubled offspring, crazy rulers are so much fun when they're safely four centuries away from me. <3

Could be true with Stalin, especially during the Soviet time after his death.
