SO LONG METHUSELAH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!

If you see something in Hetalia that you feel is offensive and/or problematic enough to warrant conversation, debate, or outright cancellation, then you should know that these conversations have been had again and again, repeated so much to the point of nauseum. They've been discussed from literally every angle you can think of.

And they've been brought up so often that when older fans see posts about long-dead topics, we typically roll our eyes and keep scrolling. Not because we don't have opinions on the subject. Rather, we've since moved on from debates that ultimately led us nowhere. Debates that, more often than not, contributed to a toxic fan environment.

And when I say, "Everything's been discussed," I mean every. Single. One of them. I'm not going to list them all off, but I'm sure you are familiar with some of the topics, with the USUK debate being a fairly recent one to pop up again.

In short, my advice is this: If you want to discuss what you feel is offensive and/or problematic in Hetalia, I can't stop you. You do you. If you feel that strongly about it, go ahead. I'm not here to play fandom cop.

Shipping now: All ships need to be NORMAL and HEALTHY and if they aren’t canon then they’re TERRIBLE. If you ship something that I don’t like, then you’re EVIL and a HORRIBLE PERSON and I’m going to make SEVEN CALLOUT POSTS about you and REPORT YOU TO THE FBI for supposedly violating laws that I don’t really understand because my stance is entirely based on following what other people say instead of doing my own research and forming my own conclusions.
