Re: 139

... I cannot go into this. If I do, my indignation might just result in a comment war which I'm trying to avoid. You have your views, I have mine. I believe that the events in WW2 had been taken to extremes by all parties involved. Not one country is at fault but it is the result of everyone's bad judgement. Yes, we do horrific things in times of need, but I still think that the atom bombs were unnecessary. You're thinking about the result of Japanese strategy IN THAT TIME. The atom bomb affects people till NOW. If you add that to the deaths that had amounted THEN as well, is it really better? Is it really necessary? War needs to be something that one looks at in the long term, not just the short term and the problem with war mongers and the military of every country is that they only seek an easy way out. They only look at the short term and don't think about the possible long term ramifications of their actions.


We are not talking about countries and their faults in the world war. We are talking about Hetalia, a comic. How is Hetalia any different from other political comics released by the west and other countries? Do they not give human characteristics to objects and/or countries from time to time? Have not some of these jokes been made before? Hetalia is a - admittedly non-PC - form of entertainment. It's supposed to be ridiculous. It's supposed to be silly. It's not meant to be taken seriously. It generalises certain characteristics which people from some countries seem to have and gives it human characteristics. Hetalia is harmless. And the mangaka has obviously not made any untoward "we of all Japan laugh at the pain of WW2 nyahahahaha!" comments through Hetalia. It concentrates instead on the relationships between the countries.

Besides, everyone seems to be concentrating on WW2. It's not the only thing that Hetalia looks at. It looks at various other historical events from ancient history to contemporary history. Sometimes, it looks at it with great sensitivity. It's a work of fiction which uses examples from history. Does that not sound familiar? Is that not what other fiction writers have done time and time again? Did Shakespeare himself not take examples of historical events and make it his own? Are we now going to condemn Shakespeare since we're condemning Hetalia for doing the same thing?

It does not make light of human suffering. It is instead trying to amuse readers. In fact, it even makes people more aware of world history. Things that a lot of people did not know before, they now know because of Hetalia. There is good and bad in every form of entertainment, of course, but to say that Hetalia is full of harm just for this one small corner of what it doesn't even concentrate on is just grossly wrong. Maybe people need to read Hetalia or at least learn more about it before they make judgemental comments that only proves how little they do know.

Apologies for the RP journal.

I will agree to disagree with you on the atom bombs. Not really looking to get into a huge debate on that subject, regardless.

And I agree with you on the rest of Hetalia as well. I have no issue with anthropomorphizing countries to examine relations between them. I find the idea interesting and rather cool. The only part where do take issue with it is the treatment of the Second World War, as I've mentioned. I've taken a look at it before. Not my cup of tea and I tend to find the fan-art more interesting (can't tell half of the countries apart, anyway).
