it is the worst fucking shit my god
how the hell is it so popular
i love how the halocaust is equivalent to finding germany's dirty magazines.
HA HA BECAUSE YOU KNOW I AM SURE THEY FELT THE SAME EMBARRASSMENT A TEENAGE BOY FEELS WHEN HIS MOM FINDS HIS DIRTY MAGAZINES WHEN IT WAS REVEALED THEY KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. IT'S SO FUNNY.
shit i bet the rape of nanking would have been something like 'japan looks at china's underwear and they both get luminescent blushes'.
:\
oh my god exactly
and I mean, I am not offended by a lot of things. For the most part I take all humor with a grain of salt and try not to be overly serious about things that are meant to be a joke. I've seen a lot of South Park and I think I've only been offended by it maybe once or twice over hundreds of episodes. For the most part I actually do find it funny.
But Hetalia is different. It's not parodying something that you can find humor in, like general elections or pop culture. It's parodying something very real and very horrific. People are still alive that lived during the holocaust and that served in WWII. It was a very, very dark time. Why.... why would anyone think this is a good premise for a slice-of-life anime comic about kawaii pretty boys? Why would you do that?
elitist Hetalia fans (who are actually the better half of the fandom, the other half ship the countries together and write rape fanfiction about incidents in the war) try to act like the humor is politically on-point and that it makes for a good series. No, it fucking doesn't. It's horrible. I don't care how cute or ironic or supposedly funny it is, it was a bad fucking premise to begin with. I love history, and I hate Hetalia.
people actually served and died during the events that you are parodying with pretty boys and yaoi fanart, how does that make you feel?
idk I try not to let the fandom make me hate it even more but it's really hard not to.
