hetalia is violently antisemitic and racist

if you like hetalia in 2021 im going to assume that you are a white supremacist hands down

some of the people commenting on this don’t remember people cosplaying nazis in front of the holocaust museum and it shows

the anti-korean ideologies written into hetalia and aot also must be brought to western attention; i know the west is largely not educated about eastern history, but the writers of these franchises are outright japanese nationalists making light of or supporting japanese supremacy or japanese colonization of korea, which japan routinely ignores and refuses to pay reparations to korea for japan’s period of colonizing and enslavement. lack of education is no longer an excuse when korean and jewish people continually try to educate and hold you and the franchise responsible for antisemitism and nationalism, you’ve just surrounded yourself with a community that will not just make excuses for right wing propaganda, but build a fandom off it and sway impressionable teenagers
