"All The Female Characters Are Weak"

[FreeFallForAll]

This livejournal thread. Just... just read it. I can't even add annotations, it's so stupid.

This level of Fan Dumb depresses me. Apparently because the women in APH wear dresses, aren't just men with tits, and have had economic/social/political problems before, they're sexist. Because, y'know, none of the male countries have any problems at all.

Huh so just because a female characters country has a bad economy (at the moment) she must be weak, and we should ignore the countries previous history. (Hungray's troops epicaly defeating Prussias on several occasions or Vietnam beating the shit out of the French troops.)
Yeah makes total sense.
I mean I'm totally for more chicks in Hetalia, but let's not forget if the country is a typically weak country(as in always under someone elses rule) they're going to have a weak personality. (Latvia for example)
And the person who's arguing OMG!!! ITS TEH SEXISSTTT! is forgeting one very importnat thing about Hetalia: It's Yaoilicious. Seriously, more than half cannon pairings are M/M.

Fandumb makes me faceplam. Because fans like this suck all the fun out of the fandom like a giant blackhole of suck. And isn't that why we like Hetalia because it isn't SRSBSNS and is just plain fun?

^Exactly! While I'd absolutely love more chicks in Hetalia, this person is being stupid by saying that all the female countries are inherently weaker than the male countries even though some of the weakest/most unstable countries in the series are male.

Case in point Italy and France.
Both their economies are in the shitter right now, and it's a stereotype that they are both weak countries that suck at fighting.

^Same goes for Greece. Their economy is terrible.

THIS.

Neither does Hungary, who kicks some major ass. I really hope our fandom won't get so bad that there'll be too many of these.
And they probably got this from seeing Liechtenstein or Seychelles, and maybe Taiwan. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but just their appearance might give the impression they're weaker, 'specially because they aren't really drawn with military uniforms 24/7 like Germany or Italy, or America.

I think the reason they're not in military uniform is because Taiwan, Liechtenstein, and Seychelles weren't part of WWI or WWII.
Which was the basis of Hetalia in the first place.
