Germany could have been a character that during the WWII strips (and WHY is there only focus on WWII anyways when there were also comics about WWI, Austrian Succession Wars, American Revolution, Sealand being sold on EBay etc) would go around killing massive amounts of 'lesser human beings' and being a complete douchebag. But the author didn't do this. Being able to avoid that surprised me. Instead, he made it like Germany is being forced to obey a terrible ruler. He represents the people of Germany who were stuck under the rule, forced to go to war, etc. This depiction, while completely open to debate, is at least a really unique viewpoint of the situation. It was never made to 'make light' of it. I think Hidekaz knows that everyone knows shit happened. There's not point for it in the WWII comics.

Also, isn't a lot of this "making light of WWII" stuff a lot like the comic Maus, possibly one of the most telling comics about a man and his family going through the Holocaust? Apparently that also 'made light of' WWII since the characters were mice, cats, and dogs. It is actually quite disturbing. Just because it's a comic doesn't mean it's taking it lightly. >_>

I think I forgot my point. And I don't think this was just directed at you. I just... don't find it offensive or taken lightly at all. And people at [livejournal.com profile] hetalia always bring up these conversations when the comics are scanlated.

I have never seen anyone make that criticism of Maus - which is not to say they don't exist, just that the vast majority of reviewers feel the same way about the book that you do. Anyway, I think comparing Hetalia to Maus is a bit silly - Maus is a drama, and despite the anthropomorphic animals it is an attempt to address the Holocaust with grace and gravity. Hetalia is a cute gag strip with some incidental drama.

Anyway, I think people focus on the WWII part since the series is called Axis Powers Hetalia. It has a specific focus on the moefied Axis Powers.
