Are you ever occasionally wracked with dread by the horrifying thought of Hetalia being A Thing in our modern times

looks at current events

..................................g od

because I am

idk im not a Hetalia Enjoyer myself but the small handful of ppl i know who are are def not the type to make any awful jokes

i get where you're coming from tho, the fandom does not have a history of delicate handling lmaoooooooo

remember the massive hetalia cosplay con photo with the nazi salutes

pepperidge farm remembers

I'm horrified at the idea that hetalia ever existed

merry witchmas : yeah I'd trust general enjoyers far, far more than the fandom at large

it's not so much the old fandom who have grown up that i'm worried about but the new fandom

please no

i'd like to say i don't mentally picture the anime characters every time i read a country's name

but

in general there's like

so many memes and jokes about the hetalia characters that have assuredly not aged well

they sure have not :')

every single hetalia fan I knew in high school was an open neo nazi and while that may say more about my hometown than anything else I still have a visceral fear response every time I see one of those shitty anime boys

is it telling when your Homestuck period was less cringe than your Hetalia period and you still never did a Nazi salute at a con near a Holocaust memorial

all the new kids are into countryhumans anyway

which is just the same thing but they have ball heads

...what have they done to Polandball

idk i avoid it like the plague

Hhhhhhhhow did they not get arrested?

Well, one of the girls finally gets to be a main character...?
