The art could be better, but a lot of the time I think it's actually really adorable. The objectification... I don't really see? I mean, I see a lot of cliches, but they are never portrayed as pure negatives. America is one of my favorite characters because he makes me wince but he makes me smile, too -- reminds me what I love about my country even when it's really freaking irritating. (Brash, egotistical, loud, kind of thick in some ways, and with a total hero complex, but really friendly and totally well meaning even if he. Goes about it the wrong way sometimes um. Basically, the only country that I've heard people being really :/ about the portrayal of are France (who is, I admit, REALLY FRAKKIN ANNOYING but I get over that and love him anyway simply because I see him as a weird AU version of Grantaire from Les Miz and CANNOT UNSEE). The only other negative-country, really, is Russia. Who is just uh. Russia. I cannot explain what I mean, oh god. D:

Also, it is sort of a slash series -- at least one with mild shounen-ai, though nothing really happens in the series like... at all. But while that's definitely a part of the series, it's not the main part of it, and the history and other character relationships are majorly interesting and sometimes moving.

BUT THAT'S JUST MY TWO CENTS ON THE SERIES. I actually think the OP was talking about the fandom, though, himself/herself. Which, yanno... is basically just a ton of fun, laid-back, friendly, and welcoming. Despite the fact that, yeah, it has elements a lot of us are ashamed of, I don't think there's actually been wank within the fandom, like... at all. I'm crossing my fingers that it stays that way for as long as possible, but it really is a nice environment, fandom-wise. c: So yeah, it's a nice place!

To me the art makes all the characters look to pretty and cutesy which tends to be unappealing to me... its not that quality its the lack of it being unique.

Objectification in terms of the large quantities of smut lol. IDK I don't feel comfortable in fandoms which have a lot of yaoi because i don't like it or shipping in general. I just don't connect with it.

But thats good that the fandom is nice at least... XD;;

U-um, hi!

I agree with a lot of what

poisontea said. In the secret, I was mainly referring to the fandom being so overwhelmingly nice (at least what I've seen of it); the fact that so many people can come together over such a potentially offensive series and have basically NO wank in the fandom is pretty much astounding to me and it makes me appreciate them a whole lot.

ALSO, I HAVE YET TO SEE ANY SHIPPING WARS. *knocks on wood* this might be because all the countries pretty much have some sort of history/interaction with each other so it's really easy to see how someone could ship a particular pairing, but hey, I'm not complaining xD

Though I do like the series a whole bunch too. I'm a sucker for adorable/cutesy things and I've been the biggest history geek forever, so it's pretty much a win-win situation for me.
Plus, I know a lot of fans who are also not interested in shipping and are more into the history, which leads to some really neat fanworks/etc. Some people probably like what comes out of fandom more than the comic itself, haha.
