Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

I would imagine the why of it, like the why of many things, depends on who you ask. Usually when I see the 2P characters, they're either presented as part of a mirror universe (something that was around before them), someone's dark side(s) personified by magic/tech (also around before them) or darker counterparts to the characters that exist somewhere in the shadows of the prime universe for whatever reason, similar to fanwork which presents the Nyotalia set as counterparts/siblings to the prime characters. I've also seen them used in "what if?" type scenarios; frex, "What if Character X was 2P!Character X but everyone else was the same?" They really aren't anything that didn't exist already, except that they have official designs, so I think a lot of people latched on to them for that reason.

Personally, I don't have particularly strong feelings about the 2P set, even though I do like some of the designs. I have read and enjoyed fics where they're used as mirror universe counterparts (even if seeing the same fanon in every other fic gets old) and where someone's dark side gets magicked/cloned/whatevered into existence, but the 2P characters themselves are secondary to that (pun unintended) aside from giving me something to visualize.

I don't see how they're inherently stripped of any relevance to Hetalia, honestly. I'm curious if we've just had different experiences with them.
