Learn to History

I took a siesta and asked a few APH fangirls why I should give this series another chance. Already tried it and was disgusted by how they trivialized a very dark point in history with fucking retarded fanservice.

Every answer I got was stupid.

"It made learning history fun!" NO IT DIDN'T. There is NOTHING historically accurate about this fucking show! It's FANSERVICE.

A commenter on a previous version of this stamp said it best; there's a time and place for fanservice and APH just didn't do it right. If you didn't use countries with offensive stereotypes (except Japan of course) stapled on instead of a functioning personality (Because creating a personality is too hard,) I wouldn't have a problem. PTSD, trenches, and genocide are fucking kawaii desu according to the fandom.

"The characters/pairings are hot!" It didn't work for Twilight, it doesn't work for Hetalia. The attractiveness of the characters doesn't make it automatically good. You could have the hottest people on the planet in a series and if the series is shit I will call it that.

"You just don't appreciate history!" Yeah, tell me, the history minor tired of pinheaded fangirls dragging this series into my classes, that I don't appreciate history. I'm the one telling you that making countries chibi doesn't change the fact they're pretty much mocking all the terrible things that happened in WWII.

Why not have Germany go out and kill Jews and Gypsies? That really happened in WWII. And let's have America lock up Japan in a camp in the middle of a fucking desert in California. That happened too! Or shoot Italy in the face without a trial. Trufax! Oh wait! That would get in the way of the *~*~*~BOILUV PAIRINGS~*~*~* my bad.

Not to mention some of the fandom is fucking INSANE. Like worse than Twilight insane.

The "can't teach you Japanese" thing is true. Anime can't teach you Japanese. It's a terrible teaching tool because most of the time, characters speak very informally. If you tried that in Japan with a stranger, you'd be punched.
