Confirmation of Petition

[squeaky-spooky.livejournal.com]

Apparently the rumors about a petition in Korea to cancel the Hetalia anime are true:

No plans to cancel it as of yet. Interestingly enough, there were never plans for Korea to be in the anime.

this whole business is kinda stupid y'know?
Most people that are singing are doing it becasue it's "A stereotyped image of koreans"
Yes.
Exactly, stereotypes the whole reson Hetalia is about history and sterotypes.
If you don't like stereotypes Hetalia is not for you so that's pretty much it.
Also this is mostly form some hetalia-hating korean blog and they are using Korea as an excuse pretty much.
Also don't take this as offence to koreans koreans aren't stupid, I love koreans, but this petition guys are a little uptight.

woha I didn't realize how racist that post sounded D:
Also I doubt a lot of Koreans find Korea offensive I've meet some koreans in the hetalia fandomn who actually love korea so I can't pretty much get it.
Then again I'm pretty immature.

I'm a Korean myself [as I posted a bit back], but I still find his personality hilarious. XD
