OH NO I was the anon that said that Hetalia made me sick. I didn't explain properly! It was not the anime/manga itself, which I kind of liked, actually. I watched some of the episodes and enjoyed it for was it was, a light comedy. And I'm from one of the countries with the "worst" depictions. I actually found the implementation of certain humorous elements into the characters genuinely smart. (which is also why I said it doesn't make the count as an example to this secret)
The problem was THE FANDOM. The kinkmeme ect. All those people writing fics using actual historical events (esp. war and genocides) as an excuse for shipping. THAT soured the whole Hetalia phenomenon for me. They took themselves way too seriously and in the process trivialized a lot of real life atrocities.
Since then I've never taken any other fandom seriously, which is both a curse and a blessing. Fortunately I've always been in the "Your Kink is not my Kind and that's OK" lane, so I didn't say anything to my friends and/or online. I firmly believe that people can do whatever in fandom. But Hetalia's fandom scarred me forever LMAO. I was still young, new to the internet and innocent back then and I honestly thought that any non-con, dub-con, incest fics are all OK and all, but not when it come to Armenia's genocide etc. Leave real historical events alone, please!!!
Now that I'm an adult I just don't really give a fuck anymore.
