Can we stop complaining about Twilight and all things related now. I don't mind if it something new to complain about but c'mon, guys. We know how much you hate it like 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 times now.

101. Or they prefer the pictures, man. Some people like visuals more. So sue them. It's old thinking anyway. And I say this as an avid manga fan and a lover of books.

103. Why would you want an manipulative, selfish asshole with too many problems to count, I wonder?

110. The true love "happily-ever-after" stuff is pretty overrated. A love that is unique to you and your partner is enough, trust me. But if you want a romance like theirs, it doesn't really exist like that.

133. I disagree with the Aladdian trilogy, Rescuers Down Under. But you're right somehow....

134. I lol'd hard because "ghetto novels" covers are made the exactly same way. I mean, I know it is to cut expenses but is it hard to find up-and-coming cover designers and newbies for these things? Ugly designed covers are fucking ugly and doesn't make me want to pick up to read the book although I would like to support a writer struggling to hit big.

138. Your respect isn't worth it, I say.

139. *sigh* war comedy != making fun of the actual war. Hetalia is more concerned of finding little known facts or factoids around the war and it's not ONLY about the WWs periods either. It's like an education manga that uses humor to make it palatable to digest the information. Not to say it can be offensive especially the stereotypes that makes part of the Nations' character, it isn't offensive in that light. Hell, Mighty Python and The History of the World, Part 1 were way more offensive in that area than Hetalia ever was (Spanish Inquisition, anyone?). You will not find anything in Hetalia that will go "LOL HOLOCAUST", it actually tries not to delve too much into dark matters like that and it does have serious strips dealing the darker things as well.

And even though people have been slashing countries before Hetalia, the countries in the manga are more like immortal avatars to the countries and they do have their own personalities midst the stereotypes and the slashing comes with the historical relationship between countries. Oh please, if it was full of het ships, no one would complain one bit, so come off it.

147. Yes, there is. Now stop worrying about it unless you're completely blinded and utterly obsessed with Japan.

154. Seriously, I think you need to quit it if you have no passion for it. It's one thing that Atticus inspired you into law and when things get rough and he's the character you draw strength on, and your case. Your life is your own, not what others dictate it because you're the one who has to live it. There is an off-chance that you'll grow to love it but if it causing you that much agony, I think you should think it over, even if it's going against your parents (although you're old enough to say no to them). I know how hard it could be because I was in your shoes when I was in college and studying psychology. Your parents will be pissed, but they'll prolly come around someday. Nothing is worse waking up at 40 and realized out basically spent half of your life doing something you hated. Plus this isn't an easy career, it will take a lot of you to do well.

155. This. I really wanted this. Ms. Fritz was the most awesome fictional teacher ever.

160. CAN'T UNREAD/UNSEE, DAMMIT.

"Oh please, if it was full of het ships, no one would complain one bit, so come off it."

...As a het fan and history junkie who was going to look up Hetalia too see what the fuss was about, I've feel like I've lost interest partly because of stuck up, "bawwww yaoi is picked on by those prejudiced evil het fans baaaaw" pricks like you that probably are all over that fandom. So thank you, and kindly stfu. I doubt if it was full of hetro ships Hetalia would escape all the accusations of it being offensive. Isn't the main issue about misleading historical facts and making light of atrocities anyhow?

Re: 139

First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, that whole paragraph was about shipping. I don't doubt Hetalia would get some unwarranted shit anyway. But the OP said "making countries gay", nothing about shipping countries in general then I wouldn't say anything other "people ship other countries all the time". It's OBVIOUS that the OP has issues with the gay in the series and the slash fandom.

Besides, people DO bitch about slash way more than het.

Plus I'm a BL, yuri AND het fan BTW.

Re: 139

(Anonymous) 2008-12-01 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
No I don't know you. But the impression you give me with your comment makes me think a certain way about you. So don't blame me for not thinking you were a SUPER SWEET PERSON IRL or whatever. Ever heard of first impressions? And I think the OP mentioned ONE SENTENCE about gay countries:

"This series makes me ashamed to be an anime and a fangirl in general. Laughing at WWII? Making countries gay? It's disgusting and pathetic that trash like this is popular just because it has a lot of bishounen."

And people bitch more about slash then het? Then we must be from different sides of fandom. Because I see slash fans saying that het is "OMFG ICKY ICKY!".

WELL GOOD FOR YOU, I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE SO ACCEPTING. Doesn't excuse you for anything just because you happen to like all of them. It's possible to like one thing more then the other and still be biased against a particular ship. So frankly, I'm not impressed by your ~*LOVE FOR ALL SHIPPING PAIRS*~

Look, all I'm saying is Het gets just as much flak as slash. I'm not saying slash DOESN'T get any at all. If anything, Femslash gets the right to bitch about there not being enough of it for their fans. You like slash? Awesome, but don't bitch about "OMG HET NEVER GETS RAGGED ON!!111". It does.

Re: 139

[identity profile] etherealtsuki.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I don't where you've been about in my experience, slash do get more shit. If a het fan says "ICKY ICKY GAY", she wouldn't get as much shit as someone "ICKY ICKY HET". Hell, this secret is a perfect example of that.

I never said het doesn't get ragged on, but it doesn't on the same level as BL. Actually go outside of LJ for a change.

Lol, I do get out. Hell, I've been with my friends in Barnes and Noble and there were these girls in the manga section talking about pairings (can't remember for which series) and they all agreed het was boring and yaoi was the only thing acceptable. I rolled my eyes and waited for my friends to get some mangas and leave (couldn't buy any myself because I had no money on me after the movie, I love popcorn and candy too much, woe D: )

Maybe we just have different experiences of annoying fans? I am sorry I've been rude to you, it's just these "My kink gets more crap then your's!" battles irritate the fuck out of me. From BOTH het and slash sides of fandom. Lets just love our pairings and leave things be.

As for the secret maker...yeah, I just read his/her comments a few pages later and he/she may be one of those "ICKY ICKY YAOI" people, but not all of us het fans (or whatever that person is in to) are. Like how not all slash fans hate women and het or whatever.

Re: 139

[identity profile] etherealtsuki.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
We can call a truce. I dunno, I get razzed on by my IRL friends who knows I like BL, but not fans of it themselves. I don't mind it most of the time, although it irks me when they forget I like het too. And that I've been in many a debate defending people who are just awful to BL fangirls and the occasional secret that paints fujoshi as tasteless fans who would get into a fandom for the buttsex and the bishies. But I have defended het too from the crazed yaoi fans but rarely.

I know all het only fans aren't all "ICKY ICKY YAOI" people as well since all my IRL friends don't care for it but don't go on a rampage about it. But this secret had a issue with the countries being gay not being shipped in general. I would've said something different. And it seems like the OP had an issue with the BL saying "it might improve the quality of the fandom" if it were all het ships.

As somebody who doesn't tend towards either het or slash (I-I really like gen!), may I throw in my two cents?

BOTH sides get flak: Yaoi/slash because of its growing popularity and the fact that yaoi-exclusive fans are stereotyped as brainless fangirls, and het because by its very nature it must be anti-homosexual and het-exclusive fans are stereotyped as brainless intolerant fangirls.

So I can understand you both feeling as if your veiwpoint is constantly being attacked! Because both totally are. >__>;;

Ha ha, if there were more female-represented countries in that series, the fandom could be filled with girls ranting about how much they haaaate that skank-bitch UK. She's totally trying to come in between guy Belgium and guy France! She's the Relena of international politics.

Re: 139

*sigh* If they don't go that to current girls, I doubt they would do it if there were more female countries.
