Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Who cares why someone likes history? Why is this such a big deal to you? Every Hetalia secret that comes up you're sitting there spazzing away, horrified at the idea that an entertaining (to its fans, lest you get so terribly offended by the idea of Hetalia being entertaining) series with attractive characters provides a gateway to learning more about the world in general.

Gee, I guess if someone doesn't have the purest of motives, they might as well not do anything.

THIS

I care if someone gets into any subject because of cute guys.

Why? It's really none of your business why someone likes something, and judging a wide swath of people on something you only think is the root cause is even ruder.

Whether I like Hetalia because I like history, like the humor, or like the cute guys, it doesn't really matter if it expands my horizons.

Because a woman being interested in a subject over TEH CUTE or TEH BISHIES is an embarrassment to the entire gender. Sorry if you disagree, but that's how I see it.

Because a woman being interested in a subject over TEH CUTE or TEH BISHIES is an embarrassment to the entire gender.

You have to be fucking kidding me. That's a disgusting viewpoint.

Why is it disgusting? Because I think women should think with their minds instead of with their hormones? (Actually, I expect the same out of men as well. Face it, you know you'd be disgusted if a man was only into history because of a comic filled with hot, scandily clad women.)

You mean Afganisu-tan? It's similar to Hetalia with anthromorphic countries theme. Although it has moe designs than hot designs. I don't find it disgusting.

Okay, that does it. I wasn't going to say anything, because I'm not into Hetalia, but this is just too much.

What you said just now? That is offensive. There is nothing wrong with a girl liking a series because it has cute boys in it. It's her FREEDOM to enjoy whatever she wants. And furthermore, what one person likes is not a reflection back onto an entire group of people.

I didn't say it wasn't alright to like a series because it has cute guys in it.

I said it wasn't alright for a girl to be into history just BECAUSE OF CUTE GUYS.

It's still offensive. Are you going to get on the case of everyone who got into archeology because of Indiana Jones? What about everyone who got into space exploration because of Star Wars? Or what about everyone who got into the medical field because of any number of the medical dramas on nowadays?

Getting into a subject because of fandom isn't the same thing as getting into a subject because of cute male characters (which is all that Hetalia really has going for it).

It's not just about the fandoms. Indiana Jones is a sexy beast. Star Wars has Han Solo. Every main character in every medical drama is somehow attractive. And you can bet your ass that it's because of these characters.

So the fact that I got interested in law because of a childhood crush on the local DA and am now planning on going to law school due to finding out that "hey, this law thing is pretty cool!" is a problem for you, huh?

I think you're being pretty damn picky about what are "valid" reasons to get into your field. I think that if a girl wants to get into a field, there are no "invalid" reasons and it's pretty strange to tell her "oh, your reason isn't good enough! Pick another field to be interested in, or at least find a better reason!" (which, especially from your comments a bit higher up, sounds a lot like "gtfo my field, you whore who has hormones that every once in a while cause you to stumble upon some cool stuff!" And if that's not misogynistic, I don't know what is. Women are allowed to be sexual creatures and be interested in, gasp, cute boys.)

Edited 2009-02-02 06:03 (UTC)

You just had to fucking bring gender into this, didn't you.

I just...what?

If you're a man, you need to shut up until you learn more about women's studies, because you're on a fast track to misogyny and a lonely life.

If you're a woman, then YOU'RE the one who's being an embarrassment to the entire gender, and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting all of this.
