nonny, it was the same for me.
It gave me a military uniform fetish and a pec fetish, made me seriously interested in history and geography, helped me discover my favorite band and a whole new music genre, helped me learn hiragana and katakana, etc. No. 252088
>>252054A lot of the characters' traits are based on Himaruya's personal experiences with that country or people from that country. For example, Greece liking cats because Himaruya's Greek college friend liked cats a lot, even though, I've heard, most Greek people hating cats (while the cat lovers are mostly in Turkey).
Another known inaccuracy is Sweden and Finland's personalities being like the opposite of what people from those countries are stereotyped as (correct me if I'm wrong though), which was one of the reasons why Humon created Scandinavia and the World
No. 252092
>>252089Well, that's what I read a long time ago, maybe it's a stereotype that exists or not, and even if it exists, stereotypes can be wrong.
But Turkey should've been the cat lover, that would be much more accurate.

I remember when Hetalia had a huge western fanbase everyone would complain that there were no nendos of them. I'm really glad they make them now I always wanted some lol

>>252618Her simple cute outfit is actually very on brand, sun dresses are very common. But I just wish since every character reflected what the majority of their country’s population looked like, she would be at minimum tan in all of her art. Himaruya seemed to do so in the beginning but it changed to pale in gakuen, which I assume wasn’t completely his control. We’re a creole country, so everyone is medium to dark brown with some French nationals around who are still usually mixed.

I wanted to ask opinions about whether any of you nonnies have preferences for when artists draw the characters more cutesy or mature? Personal appearance headcanons?

>>253470Depends of the character. Russia is described as someone ruthless but with childish features, so a young looking face is better suited for him, despite him being strong and tall. For Germany, a mature face would be better, since he is described as someone serious. My preferred style is a handsome face with sharp features, so something similar to mid twenties in age.

For America/Canada I feel that a contrast between the positive and bubbly attitude and a mature look is very appealing.
I love when people draw China/Japan with a sturdy build and a youthful yet strong face.
I think for artists who draw Russia finding an equilibrium to have him come off as childish/cute yet still holding mature features is the best thing they can do.
I love a more muscular England.
France is perfect no matter what. Italy and Romano with a toned build and boyish looks.
Germany must be manly since it serves to enhances his other traits!

>>252027As an American, yes and no. I do not feel as if Alfred personifies the average American accurately, (especially since he's white and he'd be Native American if we wanted to get historical) but I feel that he does personify the way America as a country presents itself: as the loud one who's always in charge.

>>253532It would be fucked if they had an indigenous representation of america, then replaced him (or them plural, because of how divided indigenous tribes were) with a single cocky white boy to illustrate the overall shift in america's identity.
>>253551NTA but I'm american, and I don't think much would change so long as it was still coming from a foreigners perspective with a limited exposure to america. The manga and anime wasn't as creative as it could've been with american topics and stereotypes to poke fun at from the beginning, it's just about being cocky, dumb, obnoxious, overly casual, and eating excessively. Then occasionally mentioning some key historical events. It'd probably be relatively the same as it was before. At most they'd make slight allusions to trump's presidency or gun issues, but that's a stretch because there has always been opportunities for relevant jokes they missed.

Has anyone else played this visual novel? This happened a long time ago when i was 13 and was obsessed with dating sim. I met this hetalia community in devianart that was translating this 18+ game and was excited to download it. At that time i was aware of sexual things but nothing too deeper like fetishes or something like that. I inicially started on the UK route and everything was cute and fluff like most dating sims UNTIL the uk guy got mad at me and raped the mc??? like literally raped her because she tries to fight back and leave the room but cant…. I was so shocked that i deleted the saved route and started the USA route because i thought the rape part was something related to the uk character but the mc got raped in the usa route too. And in the russia route its even worse because its a much more violent sexual abuse. I never got to finish any route because the 13 old me found the game repulsive. The art of the game was so cute (theres even a cg where mc marry germany) i would never thought it was a dark game
No. 253626

Most of the time ive seen it happen between eastern devs giving warnings but usually its because they think the translators are just remaking the game with different stuff all in english or spanish when the translators are being as faithful as they can (depending on their translation skills).

They have their own cultural identity rooted in Canadian history and culture.

>>253674I think an alternate Métis Canada would be awesome. 2P Nyo America is dark-skinned (and these are the colors fans have given to 2P America, which has an official design but no colors). There should be 3P versions of the characters or something, even if they're fanmade
No. 253731
>>253707There are fanmade 3p and even 4p characters. I believe 3p england has green hair.
I think the 2p alter ego should be the only "official" character alt. If I remember correctly its not that 2p america whether male or female are dark skinned but just tanned. 2p are implied to be the evil versions of the characters and interpreted as such by fandom majority unless the regular 1p was already morally questionable then they would assume a more innocent persona as 2p ie. Belarus
Regarding repost culture. While i don't think its bad or good I can understand not wanting art spread around esp without credit. Some jp creators are so bothered by it that they can resort to ridding their pages of the content by deleting it.

Compared to modern joseimuke Hetalia seems a lot less intentional though. I wouldn't be surprised if Himaruya really was just a guy who stumbled onto this audience entirely accidentally and not 3 fujos in a trenchcoat or whatever the theory is these days.
The idea of making a series that's outright designed to be a big toybox for fans to play with rather than really being a story in of itself definitely seems like a post 2010 phenomenon for sure, at least for female targeted stuff.

>>253860Hetalia was probably the first female gaze version of those moe anthropomorphism franchises for scrotes. And the characters being based on countries only made it easy to become popular outside Japan because the concept of anthropomorphized countries is so universal.
I think Hetalia also made me seek other series with huge casts of cute, colorful characters like MLP:FiM (which became popular soon after I got into Hetalia) and Touhou (another Japanese franchise with a massive fandom and infinite fanworks). I don't think I could become such a big fan of another moe anthropomorphism series with bishies, though. Hetalia will always be the only one for me.
>>253875>The idea of making a series that's outright designed to be a big toybox for fans to play with rather than really being a story in of itselfThis, it's exactly what I was about to say. I don't think most other joseimuke franchises can succeed at this like Hetalia did. It would feel like they're trying too hard to copy Hetalia's success while Himaruya probably wasn't even trying.
>>253877She means that Hetalia, as a massively popular phenomenon, seems less intentional than modern joseimuke franchises that are designed to get popular. She wasn't talking about the edginess.
>>253904I think it's good that Hetalia was largely about the fans creating their own content. I remember reading about this fancomic that was on dA (never read it myself) that was made by an Asian fan and got a lot of praise for portraying historical relations between South Asian countries in a relatively accurate and nuanced way or something. I know after a certain point, Himaruya started to do more research before creating new characters to avoid too many inaccuracies or doing something offensive. But I like that the fandom and the source material and its author have this symbiotic relationship.

It's true that sometimes fans make material that's offensive/disrespectful and it can be disappointing, but I think even more fans make material that's really great and well thought out or at the very least inoffensive. Although I have seen fanart of America just looking like his blonde ass white boy self in poorly drawn Native regalia… All that art is like 10 years old at least but it still exists. I think it would have been really cool for Canada to be Métis, there are very very few Native anime characters. At least we have creative liberty with fun fanon interpretations lol

Hetalia is one the biggest thing that makes me feel like a kid again, going to cons where nobody gave a shit about clout or being super morally correct, and screeching 'yaoiiii' with other fangirls at the masquerade. Those times were so simpler.
Has anyone here read Seven Little Killers? I know it was one of the most popular Hetalia fanfics at the time - I got really deep into it before falling off and when I wanted to get back into it, the author had some drama and deleted the fic? I only recently found that someone had saved it to a google drive so I saved it to catch up to it some day. I'm not sure if it was even originally completed though.

TERF political party if i wanted and no one can stop me kek. The pedo party you mentioned was created by 3 pedo moids, however surprise they had no supporters so the party was disbanded. Is it ridiculous that literally anyone can make a political party, maybe. But also political parties have no power here unless you actually get enough supporters, which you need a lot of and otherwise you get disbanded. Im not saying there are no pedos in the netherlands and that our goverment doesnt suck.

The majority of fanarts are coomer hentai shit made by scrotes. I agree with the other nona, there is nothing modern that compares with Hetalia. Modern anime is basically ecchi filled shitty isekai for moids or coomer shit for moids.

Man, I miss Hetalia. I stopped keeping up with it in 2012 because of the webcomic hiatus and the insane newfags who got into it because of the terrible American dub. When I was in Japan in 2020 I saw the manga in Animate and I didn't buy them because I was worried I wouldn't have enough space in my suitcase for everything and I was right, but I regret not buying them anyway. Next time I will. I'm still surprised to this day that we didn't get an official release of the manga in France despite almost everything and anything having official translations and releases here.

(Possible Hetalia drama in western fandom I figured out and put together)
Does anyone remember platinumspeed? Dude was an infamous spain cosplayer back then and there are multiple yt vids of of other aph fans filming him. He had a yt channel and he made a pretty good spanish dub of one of spain's character songs that I really kick myself for not downloading and saving tbh. It would be years till now that I tied to revisit the channel to fine out that all of platinumspeed's accounts across the internet are deleted. The lasting evidence of his existence would be the fan recordings of his cosplay, cosplay pictures with other creators on deviantart, and his cosplay.com account which he must've forgot about(which is where I got picrel).
I was super confused at first as his content was pretty decently made. His channel to my memory consisted of aph characters songs cover, possibly some cosplay skits, and voice acting.

>>255383If we pay attention to the fact that most of his net footprint has been scrubbed and that he had an interest in voice acting it. His works are still mentioned on the hetalia animo platform some even asking about his dissapearance.
Platinumspeed's VA interest can connect him to not just hetalia but also the Sonic fandom. He would eventually become a part of
sonicsong182's group to voice act in its sonic animation content. It was apparently a very popular thing and still kind of is.
PlatinumSpeed would eventually go on to troon out publicly in 2016 and he would alternatively be known as as Chrissy Bears.
Because this form degeneracy is recognized as a
valid social image it was a little challenging trying to find info for the male as any mentions of PlatinumSpeed in sonic fandom would mistakenly call him a 'she' while the hetalia fandom rightfully remember him as a male. He eventually would be a part of a streaming host duo channel on youtube going by
Transmission*.
I forgot to include that he had a tumblr account and you can find comments on hetalia related post on tumblr and deviantart from deactivated accounts with his username.The way I confirmed that the Hetalia spain fanboy is the same person as the
sonicsong182 member VA was that the links used
for his user for his facebook, youtube and twitter under trans*mission video descriptions are all defunct, except, when you click on the twitter link you would find that whoever took over his name had decided to keep it as a warning to all that PlatinumSpeed/Chrissy Bears groomed minors within the sonic fandom.
Also kek at the twitter comment I found from a fan of platinum speed apologizing from what I assume to be his sperging about "muh pronouns" No. 255396
>>255383damn this sounds kinda eerie. Are there no recent comments on those videos and profile? Did you not find any mention of drama? Weird. Maybe he died or something
>>255392ok nvm. Thank you for your 2-hour search, this was a very interesting read. What a shame that he trooned out and that he's a pedo groomer like so many perverted males in fandom.

>>255392I have reason to believe that this guy has potentially groomed/creeped on hetalia fans not just sonic fans. On Chris Bares (PlatinumSpeed) wiki page as Chrissy Bares for the Sonic VA stuff, his date of brith is listed as 25th of Dec. 1992. Ive seen somewhere that he was involved with hetalia since 2008 but from my references there are yt video from early 2010s of him acting out the character of spain in front of other hetalia fans, mostly girls (eyebrow raiser for sure).
The earliest video I could find was dated from Anime Expo 2010 so we can speculate that it may be 2008/2009 that he was apart of the fandom so since he was 16/17, though in 2010 he was 18.
Now I know that in the callout post
The user chikkou, she details a few things of interest (note that "she" in the greentext below refers to PlatinumSpeed/Chris Bares/Chrissy Bares):
>when i was 14 and chrissy was 19, i had met chrissy through a mutual friend. >she was always flirtatious, making sexual advances which i wasnt used to receiving and misinterpreted as her genuinely loving me and wanting to be with me.>this happened repeatedly over the course of maybe over half a year. ("this" refers to the sexual abuse)>she stopped pretending to care about how i felt and would come to me almost exclusively to get herself off, despite the fact that she had a girlfriend who didnt know about what chrissy did with me (and that i didnt know even existed). Now these details bring a couple videos I that I was mention about earlier. Chikkou admits that PlatinumSpeed(Chris Bares) was in fact 19 meaning that it had occurred circa 2011/2012 at their time of meeting meaning that Platinum Speed(Chris Bares) was pre-transition at this point.
A youtube channel by the name of
Teddywangdoodle has videos uploaded of a 2012 hetalia meetup. They do not reference PlatinumSpeed in title or desc so the potential for these details could be missed.
There are 3 videos in particular that really add to the claims of Chikkou as a
victim and the speculation of the abuse occurring potentially with other unheard
victims.
Video 1
https://youtu.be/ocb6JflYZ1AVideo 2
https://youtu.be/35_SqI6uy3sVideo 3
https://youtu.be/e8UdhkMiZYgVideo#1 is especially telling of the greentext details. In the comment section of Vid #1 the uploader basically confirms that the blonde girl who is closet cosplay france that kisses PlatinumSpeed was presented as his girlfriend which lines up pretty well with what was said. Secondly, Platinum speed exihibits weird sexual behaviour even if it was for fanservice it does get quite strange as Video#3 is basically him repeatedly licking ice cream sexually. Now his promiscuity is again shown in Video#2 where he kisses someone who is not his gf who is cosplayed as Sealand
(seriously this doesn't look good in the slightest) who looks to be undeaged . Even if the gf was consenting to Chris Bares doing that, his willingness to go along with schemes as such really and knowing that his sexual depravity went that far back and probably even further definantly shows the potential for abuse. Again, going back to Vid#3, the amount of girls fangirling over him doing shit definitely must've made occurrences for him to prey on the vulnerable relatively common and I don't doubt that there are dozens more
victims.
It honestly creeps me out to know that these videos are of what is seemingly an innocent weeb engaging with other people while simultaneously being involved in some of the most depraved behaviour ever. PlatinumSpeed being a hidden predator in a predominantly female fanbase meant that this sick fuck was definantly in situations it where he was constantly in reach of many potential
victims especially considering that he was quite popular for both his content, cosplay, and being a guy into hetalia.

Also one of my favorite rarepairs/unusual pairings was RusCan, but I will admit my cringe and say it was mainly because I had a huge crush on a Russia cosplayer and I was a Canada cosplayer kek. In one of the few existing RusCan fanfics they talked about mixing vodka and maple syrup so the first time my idiot underage self got her grubby little hands on some vodka, you can bet your ass I mixed it with maple syrup. Absolutely disgusting shit but a really funny memory when I think about it.
Also if that isn't cringey enough, I had a huge crush on a France cosplayer (although I mainly enjoyed France/Canada content in the form of wholesome parent/child content), and literally about a decade later I finally got the courage to talk to her because we both still cosplayed and we ended up dating for a little bit kek. She did a France cosplay very recently with some old friends and she still looks so fucking good as France.

What I love about hetalia is that no matter if no new content comes or if anyone as even watched/ read all of the content, people can still take part of discussion/fanfiction. The versatility of the character potential while being perfect visually is such a rare commodity. No matter the circumstance you place them in, the human and country characterization of the protagonists shine through very well. Hetalia has been able to maintain such a dedicated fanbase unlike most seasonal anime that's only saving grace is a slight tweak in an already played out scenario and animation that is sure to be inconsistent in quality.

>>253674It wouldn't really make sense for Canada to be Metis, since at the time of his creation, native folk weren't granted much representation at all. As a representation of the Canadian state, it'd be inaccurate to
Making him Metis would be this liberal kind of whitewashing of history, like, oh, totally, the indigenous people were involved in this, no kid-stealing involved at all. And given that none of the characters change over time, it's unlikely that his looks would change much, either.
It might score you points with the diversity crowd who don't actually know much about history, but given a slight bit of actual analysis, it'd actually be more
problematic to portray him as non-white, not less.
Here's an interesting example: I saw America once portrayed as having Native America as his mommy. First off, there were many Indian groups with varying cultures, having just one is erasure. Second, like Canada, the American state and its people excluded the Indians from their sense of being a nation. And third and most awkward, it was the US that erased many of these groups from the map.
It's a stupid idea.
In general, Hetalia's, like, textbook
problematic: not offensive,
problematic. Those have overlap, but they're not the same thing. Conceptually full of holes, doesn't make sense, crazy inaccurate, bad lore. At the rotten core of Hetalia's conceptual issues is its extreme inconsistency vis-a-vis the nature of statehood. But I like it anyway, fuck the haters.

Hetalia's one of those fandoms with incredible art that amazingly hasn't been soured by the "activist" artists on Tumblr. Even on the Western side, that's commendable. There's this resurgence in art and fandoms that are, like, "
problematic" [in the colloquial sense the kids like to use, you know, the one that means nothing], and I am all here for it. Hetalia must rise to destroy the inferior country gijinka shit floating around. Hate that ugly shit.
Oh, and I'm an incredibly cis whatever I am. I'm not telling you just what because I enjoy being an anonymous cipher, I've gotten too used to it. It's a mental security blanet like an online burqa.

Can anyone tell me the origin of this meme? It seems fairly recent cause it seems like something that would've been memed like doitsuism if it came from back then
>>279926Is this one that you can airbrush yourself? Also they should release life size plushies of characters. I can only imagine what the fans wouldve been like if they released something like that during peak fandom kek

>>284378It's a prototype! They release these before they finalize the colours to hype fans up.
And yeah those plushies are bald as fuck if you lift their front hair piece. If you search "baldtalia" on tumblr there are shitposts and some (ironic? hard to tell sometimes) fanart for it. I found a few people who mentioned it's from a Hetalia Discord server on both reddit and tumblr so that's the origin. The reddit post included the link to the server in the comments but was over three years old… The newest post on tumblr is approx. 2 months old. So there's a server called "The Hetalia Region" with 3779 members that's been active for 3+ years making bald country memes and fanart. Honestly I respect the dedication.

Since Hetalia was the first anime I watched seriously, as long as my first manga ever, I knew nothing about how fandoms would work, but in return my love for history would finally find an happy place. I have a core memory of my 13 year old self amassing tons of “dear diary” and headcanons on Pinterest, and believing all of them were real or canon in some way because (picrel as example) “ah yes, it makes sense because at the end of the day people from England and people from Germany all descend for the same ancient population, which is also represented in the series by Vati Germania, and also it’s fitting because England is the only one of his brothers who does not have red hair and freckles so it’s a clear sign that Himapapa created him with blond hair and green eyes in order to represent this historical fact and blah blah blah”…. At this point, can I say that “my copy of Hetalia is personalized”? Sorry for blogposting and autism sperging, I could speak about it forever

I've never watched Hetalia before because the teen fandom back then scared me, the concept weirded me out and i feared that i would obsess over even sillier anime husbandos but so far i watched the first 3 seasons (had no idea that it was such a long series) and Germany is so adorable… i like Sweden too even if he didn't appear much, but Germany is almost husbando-built to me, i feel so defenceless whenever he's on screen.
I'm not really obsessing over shipping characters but the Italy/Germany/Japan trio is really cute. America, China and Sealand are such fun characters and Switzerland is fun too when he gets all territorial.
I'm enjoying the show but i need a break before i watch the other seasons now.

All my friends grew out of Hetalia and we always talk about how cringe it was in the group chat but I secretly still love it, it just reminds me of the old days and it's so comforting. I always come back to it because it's impossible to ever get bored of it, since there's so much you could do with it.
Anyway, I wish I could draw because I need to see England in the 1960s dressed like a member of the Beatles. Or America in the 1950s dressed like a greaser.

I miss the old hetalia fandom lowkey, even though it was pretty terrible and cringe. but there was just so much fan content, it felt endless. it makes me so sad when my favorite amvs, fanfics, and djs from like a decade ago get deleted. especially since new fan content is just not as common, though the japanese fandom definitely seems to be more active than the western one. USUK especially seems to have fallen out of favor in the west. I can’t really explain why, but this ship makes me insane. it’s my favorite, and I’ll miss it as more and more old content gets deleted

>>364351>>364381Yeah hetalia was my very first fandom. I discovered hetalia when I was like 11 and promptly made a tumblr. Since the fandom was so big, there were several AUs/fanworks that basically had dedicated fandoms themselves, like george devalier, cardverse, pottertalia (picrel), hetaoni, etc. I miss when fandoms were that fun. But there were shitty sides to the fandom too, like all the shotacons that seemed to just be accepted by the wider fandom (fandom culture was so different back then, being “don’t like, don’t read” more or less). I was literally a kid interacting with those unabashed pedos constantly

I'm forever grateful that Hetalia exists as a large cast of male characters/husbandos with a female majority audience. If it were entirely waifu countries then its fanbase would've been a hundred times more worse; full of toxic moid degeneracy, coomers, insufferable /pol/tards, shameless racists and edgelords spewing slurs and tragic moments in history as jokes. I know Nyotalia is a thing though I haven't seen anything degenerate of them other than being cute genderswaps of the actual characters and some neat fanart. Bless Himaruya and female Hetalia fans.

Getting back into Hetalia recently has made me noticed there’s a lot of Spamano hate?
I’ve seen people call it “incest” for whatever reason (I guess because North Italy called Spain big brother once but that doesn’t mean they’re related right off the bat. At least to me)
Anyways, was anyone else insanely obsessed with them like I was in middle school? Getting back into Hetalia has brought me back to them and now they’re all I think about.

i still can't decide if i regret ever getting into hetalia or not. on one hand i made a lot of friends through it, and on the other hand there was so much unnecessary drama. my friend got me into it, because i was and still am a turbo autist obsessed with certain countries, and at first it seemed like the most perfect thing ever, seeing that i was also a weeb. i will never forgive himaruya for breeding the hordes of dirty fujos shitting up every country's language or mainstream culture themed page on social media. they were the bane of my existence, and we used to chase them away with pitchforks from the norway and denmark themed groups with my slightly more normie friends. then again, if it wasn't for hetalia, le epic cosplay moments like this would never see the light of day.

Nonnas, did you completely change your mind about an APH character? England used to piss me off when i first watched the series, but now he's a favorite. Dont know if it's because i'm a teaboo now or because my tastes evolved (i've come to tolerate and even like pouty/bratty guys). Probably both

>>367257 said i find his mix of soft and cruel charming, don't like yanderes but he makes it work. I think he looks very unique as an anime character in general, his big nose and downwards eyes look adorable. I really just think he's neat.

the other character my opinion has changed the most about is germany. I don’t think I disliked him at first, but when tumblr canceled hetalia for its portrayal of nazi germany, among other things, I felt uncomfortable with his character and guilty for ever liking him
partly because I’m literally jewish kek but after getting back into hetalia as an adult, I just kinda decided there’s no need to take hetalia so seriously

This is somewhat old news now (hima posted picrel to his twitter in 2022) but I only got back into hetalia recently so I was surprised to see they have official characters now.

Sperg out session incoming. I’ve been thinking about how Hetalia has impacted my life since I’ve gotten back into it recently. I joined the fandom in middle school, which is also when I discovered my passion for history. Now, I just completed my university degree in history. I know Hetalia is ultimately a comedy not meant to be taken so seriously, and its historical “lessons” are far from factually accurate, but one aspect of Hetalia that has been both the most impactful and most conflicting to me is that the comic is framed from a uniquely Japanese perspective of WWII. As an American, we learn about world history from a very American perspective, where yes, we are the “heroes.” I appreciate that Hetalia showed me at a young age that there is more than one perspective of history. But I also have always found Japan’s portrayal as unsettling. Japan, a country that has yet to make full reparations for its war crimes like Germany has done, is portrayed quite positively. However, Himaruya does not dwell on any country’s crimes against humanity, so it could be argued that this is fair treatment. For instance, the atomic bombs dropped on Japan by America are not mentioned either. This is such an interesting way to approach history I think, because it focuses more on the light sides of humanity, rather than the evils that are also there.

https://primaniacs.com/fragrance_hetaria-twt/index.htmlArthur's one is the closest to what I'd wear in real life. The notes are perfect for me. I'd get Alfred's too, because he's my favourite, but man, I'm not too sure about the lemon, raspberry and peach notes in his one. They could smell good, but I've never tried any perfumes with those notes and have a hard time imagining how they'd work, kek.
