White weebs: OMG HETALIA WASN& #39;T THAT BAD AND I& #39;M EXCITED!!! I CAN& #39;T WAIT TO GIVE THIS RACIST IMPERIALISM-APOLOGIST MONEY!

Bro, people literally dressed up as LITERAL n*zis and did the n*zi salute on Passover weekend at a Holocaust museum LIKE???? It WAS that bad and I really do not care if you loved it as a middle schooler.
I really hate it when people just try to write off Hetalia as being "cringy". It was more than just "cringy" it was actively revisionist and did actual harm to several communities? Let& #39;s not downplay how shitty it was!
The fact that the Dokdo land dispute literally got turned into a sexual harassment/groping joke? When the Japanese govt still maintains that literal WWII sex slaves from Korea, China, the Philippines, and MORE were "willing prostitutes"???
This isn& #39;t just middle school cringe this is literally right-wing Japanese propaganda. You are literally spending money on right-wing Japanese propaganda.
If you are an anime fan, instead of supporting Hetalia consider supporting "Barefoot Gen" or "In This Corner of the World" instead! They& #39;ve both got a strong anti-war message and do not shy away from Japanese war crimes and imperialism.
