Anti-Hetalia Clubs

[OldestWaifu]

Browsing through the DA stamps and I found several links to two anti-Hetalia clubs. The first one is called The Anti-Hetalia Club. Here's the statement on the first page.

"This group is for people who can come together and agree about "Axis Powers Hetalia".

So is this club, only the complete opposite.

This show is an "anime" that mocks world history, and insults those whose families served, fought, and died in World War 2

Um...yeah about that. I have several WWII vets in my family, they in no way are offended or upset by Hetalia. My Grandmother, who was a battlefield nurse, thinks it's hillarious.

by taking the history books, throwing them in a blender with popular animation, and tossing it into anthropomorphic-nations in a drama setting.

And....it's not meant to be taken

Not only does this make our history into a mockery of a very real and terrible struggle, but it softens it, making it into something kids laugh at and grow to enjoy.

Yeah because no one's EVER made fun of history before. (Monty Python, 'Allo 'Allo, Hogans Heros, Family Guy, Simpsons, Mel Brookes' History of the World Prt I, Venture Brothers, Robot Chicken, Saturday Night Live and possibly other artists I have not mentioned)

What's worse, is that the anthro-nations such as Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy are represented as humans, which pathetic fangirls (and a lesser extent, fanboys) faun over, when in reality, through the metaphor they represent, fanboys and fangirls are fauning over the scum of the earth.

No, the Nationtans are represenative of their countries past and present. Does that mean that you think that ALL Germans/Italians/Japanese are STILL the scum of the Earth?

Axis Powers Hetalia is a crude mockery of the past.

Would you rather it be a crude mockery of the present?

An insult to those of us whose families fought through the war, and shows kids, fans, and ignorant fangirls/boys obsessed with drawn guys and girls who are 'omg so hot", that it's ok to be what they represented.

What? Non serious and honestly not that offensive stereotypes? Because honestly Hetalia helped me realize that stereotypes are either funny because they're true, or funny because they're so dumb!

With this group, we stand in the hopes that perhaps there are SOME people left on this earth that actually have respect for history

Because there's no way you can be a fan of a NON-serious anime and respect history AMIRITE? I know my history, I respect it, and that's why I like the Hetalia fandom so much. Because it takes the knowlege and makes it FUN!

and actually care about respecting the dead, conquered, raped, and massacred

See above.
Also lets say Himaruya decided to show the Holocaust, Atomic bombings ect. Would it REALLY make it any better? Because if he did show any of those things people would get their panties in a fucking twist over it.

..Ugh. I hate Hetalia Anti-Clubs. I only really found one, and I just avoided it. These people take stuff to serious. I was searching Hetalia stamps, and came across an anti one. These people make other people think this is a bad anime, and all of the fandom is retarded. This author even decided to say 'This picture sums up the whole anime' and gave a link to a picture of Chibi Doistu, with big lettering that says KAWAII and a bunch of dead bodies in the background...
:/
I was just gonna politely explain (seriously) and then decided against it. You can tell from her page she/he was a prude.
People like this really make me facepalm, though.

^ I've seen that picture! I hate how whenever Antis want to show us how bad Hetalia is, they show the chibi Germany picture from his character card.

Dear lord! Can't you find anything else? that picture is old. Its pretty much from the very beginning, so its not even very good! It is in no way representative of Himaruya's ability! Sometimes I think they just choose it for the shock value of the character card having the Nazi!Germany flag on it, even though Himaruya eventually changed it to the normal flag.

I'm pretty sure he did this (other than to ward off controversy) because Germany =/= Hitler, (or Germany =/= Nazi, whatever) and that Ludwig is not just Nazi!Germany, but all parts of his history. No one seems to get that! Everyone always says "wtf this is Facist Italy?" No, its just Italy! You are looking at this with blinders on! Even though a great deal takes place in WWII, not all of it does!

IAWTPs. Many of the anti-fans I've encountered seem to ignore huge parts of canon and fandom in order to make their point. (i.e. "All Hetalia fans are retards! Look at this one post in one LJ community that all the community disagreed with but I'm not going to bring that up because I'm a douchebag!" "Hetalia is super racist! Watch me take this panel that stereotypes all Americans as eating nothing but hamburgers and use it as proof, because I don't know what context or parodies are!")

Of course, not all the anti-fans are like this. But, like with the fandom, the idiots are the loudest and get the most attention from the other side.
