It was just something that occurred to me while I was reading all of the threads.

dsjlk OH WOW you flatter me, holy crap. Thank you very much, I'm honestly floored by your kind words. I don't know what to say. ♥

BUT that's what I think too. It's often hard to make someone feel real emotion about atrocities happening to a nation half a lifetime ago, but the anthropomorphism really brings it home.

I haven't read any of the fics that the OP singled-out, though now that I'm looking at the responses to the Rape of Nanking fic, no one is saying "omg hot!" Everyone is saying "Wow, this left me speechless," and variants. Again, it's a matter of one's personal opinion and morals on the matter; but there is such an intense gray area here to be taken into account -- one that I think the OP did not consider when deciding to judge all of Hetalia fandom, and one that I don't think everyone railing against the people who requested, wrote, and responded to that fic considered either. (Of course, the only fic I looked at the responses for is the Rape of Nanking fic.)

Hey, it's true. *smiles* Good fic is good. (

mithrigil actually brought that one up when I was wavering about whether or not I wanted to go darker places with my Hetalia fic; she pointed out that you'd proven it could be done. So.)

Yeah, it's interesting to me that so many people seem to be using the Nanjing fic as a specific example of "what the hell are they doing?" because the way I read it, that one was so much about the psychological horror and not at all about the kink. I don't know if the same holds true for every example the OP listed, but I think it indicates that people in this fandom are taking the gray areas you mentioned into account as they write, and they are aware of the sensitive nature of what they're tackling, as a general rule. (There might be exceptions, of course, but it's fandom, you always get a couple of idiots. Those people, though, don't represent the majority, and they never have.)

My gosh I don't know what to say. Thank you. ♥

Yes, exactly. I could understand why someone would still think that it's trivializing to do so, but I don't think it gives them a platform from which they can judge someone else. But I guess that's their... prerogative? Unfortunately.

I don't know what kind of bizarre sociopath YOU are, but I am completely and totally capable of feeling horrified and saddened by mass human tragedy without having to read fics about anthropomorphized bishounen acting it out for me.

Also, I'd like an explanation for how "Victorian era racism" helps bring any kind of tragedy to light, or what possible benefit China/Tibet rapefic has, or how Native-Tan getting Raped by Everyone and impregnated really enlightens people to the atrocities committed against them.

... did you really just call me a sociopath?

omg ♥

Thank you for making my night.
