SA
Just wanted to clarify that it's not Hetalia itself that "made me sick" back then, but the fandom. I actually quite enjoyed Hetalia's anime/manga back then, before the fandom exploded, and I think it was a cute concept, even if I recognize it was highly problematic.
It was not clear from this comment and I apoligize. (I was made aware of it by a comment below, to which I replied more extensively)

I mean, you can hate Hetalia itself too. You can hate anything without having to apologize for it.

That fandom was the most hateful thing all to itself , it was amazing to see even from afar lol

You're totally right about not having to apologize! But in this case I actually didn't initially hate the media itself, so I wanted to clarify that. It's important for *context* (and to me).
I was cautious about watching/reading Hetalia at first because even then I could see the problematic sides of it (and I was mostly alone in my circle. Back when there was almost no "discourse" if not ship wars AHA), but ended up enjoying the concept because it was mostly wholesome fun.
Then the fandom exploded and now I hate everything related to it, even the original media. I think it's one of the worst most offending fandoms that ever graced the internet space and made me even lose respect of some people I knew back then.

I was an early Hetalia adopter myself, started getting into it when it was all just webcomics being translated by fans and the anime was still a ways off. Hetalia media? Cute and funny. Hetalia fandom, especially the kinkmemes? Definitely too edgy for me even at my peak college self. Also the BNF fights, remember those? Scared me away from the entire US/Russia ship.

THIS I was pretty edgy and read a lot of pretty fucked up non-con back then, but that kinkmeme scarred me, I swear. I remember prompts about the Nanj*ng rape, Armenian Genocide and an horrible war in Poland and MANY MANY MORE. Fuck that.
I don't really know about any BNF fights because I was never actively in the fandom and all my friends back then weren't in the English side of fandom. I never heard anything about that and now I'm very curious. I wonder if there is something about those BNF wars on Encyclopedia Dramatica or an essay video somewhere....
