I'm not in the Hetalia fandom nor have I ever seen it, but... aren't they right? What is the point of an elaborate headcanon if the other people in the fandom don't want to hear it? Why NOT just make your own comic, if it's that much better? At least then you might have the chance of actually sharing it with appreciative people.

If you absolutely can't bring yourself to do that, then... openly slamming the source material probably isn't helping you, either. Why would they want to read a 'fan' work by someone who hates the source? Tact can go a long way. Pretend at least a little interest or enjoyment of the original and they might be more inclined to give you a chance. But why would they expect your stuff to be any different from the kind of hatefic that is typically made by people who profess to dislike a particular fandom?

My own enjoyment, of course. That's the point of all fandom isn't it? I'm not here to please other people, I'm not here for feedback, I'm just here because once upon a time I fell in love with an idea and now I can't bring myself to quit playing in the sandbox.

Funny thing: I used to love Hetalia's source material. After a point, however, things went downhill and the source went to shit (not that it was gold to begin with) and the fans became obnoxious. Now it takes every bit of my patience dealing with the fandom.
