Hetalia Haters

[robotgeisha.livejournal.com]

Sorry if this post isn't allowed. But recently I was talking to some people who were pretty well rounded when it came to anime. When I asked them what they thought about Hetalia,however, they seemed disgusted and completely turned off. They said that it wasn't a 'new' idea, that the nations should be more masculine, that its filled with rabid fan-girls/yaoi lovers, and full of historical inaccuracies. Now, I know that Hetalia has gotten a lot of flack recently, but what are some reasons you've heard people mention for not liking Hetalia?


I don't hold many of the opinions below, mainly because I am a rabid yaoi fan, and I don't think Hidekazu's art is bad at all (I really like it, actually.) Although, I do agree that its not historically accurate and it makes light of the circumstances...I believe that's part of the appeal of Hetalia. Its a comedy that's not meant to be taken seriously, right?


Here's some that I've heard:
1.Not an original Concept
2.Art is bad
3.Men are too womanly/Need to be more manly
4.Too much slashing/BL pairing )
5.Historically innacurate
6.It bashes countries and makes Japan look 'normal'
7.Makes light of WWII and its atrocities

**JUST A REMINDER** NONE OF THESE ARE MY OPINIONS. D: This is just a post to discuss reasons why someone may dislike Hetalia****
