don't really HATE hetalia, but in some ways, it annoys me and is somewhat offending...like the "Canada is Invisible" part. I'm Canadian, and I was outraged.
It's actually quite discriminatory in some ways.

It could be worse you know, most of the stereotypes in Hetalia are extremely waterd down compared to most of the stuff I see and hear.
Instead Canada pf being invisble Canada could be a lumberjack who goes around cutting down all the trees he sees, riding a moose, drinking maple syrup like it's water, and who only cares about hockey, which he gets violent about.
And the reason Canada is "invisible" to the other characters is because historicaly and politically Canada's been pretty much ignored by the rest of the world because they don't really make waves outside of their own government. So much so infact that most of us are unaware that Canda was even involved in WWII.

I would like it better if they did those stereotypes, actually. lol I'd just laugh
But telling us that we're invisible is another thing completely. I should know.
By the way, do you realize how offensive that sounded when you said that people forget about us in WWII?
Not to be mean or anything, but even if that's true, my great-uncle died as a soldier in WWII, so you just pretty much said that all the Canadian lives lost didn't prove anything.

My reply:
Well it's true. Whether it's offensive to you or not. Just take a look at most U.S. history texts book the only time Canada's mentioned is when there were fur traders during the days of the early explorers. And then a small mention in the war of 1812, and then literaly nothing.
And I wasn't saying "all the Canadians that lost their lives proves nothing," that's you putting words in my mouth. I'm saying that because Canada is pretty much a quiet country that keeps to themselves most of us know nothing about it. As opposed to more active countries like England, France, China, ect.
