Personally, I'm not into slash and I'm not an obsessed anime or manga lover, but I like Hetalia, which did took me a while to get into. Just sayin' not everyone is into it because of pure slash or cute boys.

The wank must have killed off a bit of my brain, sorry.

I never said everyone was into it because of those things, but that's the reason it's gotten popular. The number of people reading it for 'zomg one of the countries is molesting another country hurrrrr' exceeds those that are reading it for the brilliant historical insight or whatever other excuse people are giving for their interest.

Re: OP of 139

Or it could've gotten popular because the Nations are likable character or the strip is actually funny. Unless you're God, I think you have no right to say what make a series popular because FYI, there are many slashable series with cute bishounen that go under the radar all the time.

If anything I see the fandom more into humor part than the slash part.

Re: OP of 139

(Anonymous) 2008-12-01 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Unless you're God too, I don't think you get to decide what's funny either. The anime announcement put it on more people's radars, but if you think they're sticking around for the history lessons then you're crazy. I've seen the 4chan image threads and the kink meme and the Gaia thread. They're not talking about the War of 1812 and what that means for America's characterization, I can tell you that.

Re: OP of 139

[identity profile] etherealtsuki.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Key word: "could've". I'm not saying I'm God, but being an somewhat active member of the community, I think I have a little more insight than you.

4chan is not a place for intellect debate, period... either is Gaia. In fact, having an intellectual debate in these place will only led to tears.

And I fail how a kink meme means anything, every fandom has one so everyone is in it for the sex? We can have our cake and eat it too, y'know. Actually, I like how some people put effort in that particular one in building a historic background. But it is no indication that the fandom only likes it for the BL, however.

...So you basically went looking for shallowness, found it, and then judged an entire fandom to be shallow based on the information you found that affirmed your already biased opinion.

Wow. I really was right on in what I said, though I'm sure you're about as likely to move on as I'm able to defecate pink elephants.

Re: OP of 139

... Not to be disrespectful or attack you or anything, but if you want to get any idea about how the fanbase as a whole thinks of and treats a series, places like 4chan and kink memes and Gaia aren't the best places ever to look. Those are pretty much the SHALLOW! TEE HEE! centers of the internet (and I know that's a generalization, and I've seen some AWESOME art on chans and some AWESOME fics in kink memes, and am in a ajfhakjashk whoashit RP on Gaia, but hoshot). I've seen pretty much just as much love for the crack and the interesting twist it gives to history than I have of the slash -- maybe even moreso, though I haven't been keeping track or anything.

Re: OP of 139

(Anonymous) 2008-12-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not gonna lie, it is probably the reason, but it's not surprising because it happens in any fandom. Just your secret sounded like everyone's into Hetalia just because of that. Just letting you know that there are people in the fandom that think otherwise and that some are pretty knowledgeable about history and still like it nonetheless.

Re: OP of 139

[identity profile] etherealtsuki.livejournal.com 2008-12-01 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
And that people like the slash and the history as well. Hell, more might like the history, the characters and humor more than the slash. There are a myraid of reason fans love Hetalia.

I wish people think that it has to be one reason and one reason only. And there's plenty of series that are equally or more slashable that don't even have much of a fandom.

Re: OP of 139

(Anonymous) 2008-12-01 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Cute boys and slashing are the common, though, but you're right! There are a lot of different reasons why people are into Hetalia. I like it because of the humor, the characters' personalities, and without a doubt the history taught with these characters. Too bad that some people generalize, particularly at this fandom.

...doesn't has to be one reason...
