By the way all of you, how do you feel about the stereo types in Hetalia? I personally don't mind them and think they can be quite entertaining, but I know that not everyone shares my sentiment. I've heard comments such as "Hetalia is racist" and "They made (insert nation here) look like a compete idiot. It's not fair.". Do you agree with some of these accusations, or do you consider the portrayals fair, or even accurate? How do you feel your home country is portrayed in the series? Do you think some people are biased because they may think the depictions of other countries are fair, while the depiction their country is not?
Moreover, whether you consider the stereo types to be a good thing or not, is there ever times when you feel the series takes it too far? Or not far enough? I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the matter.

Well, considering my country is probably the biggest idiot in the series... I'm ok with it. USA! USA!

But yeah, I'm pretty neutral when it comes to that issue. Do I believe most of the stereotypes? No. Do I laugh and joke about them? Yes. The problem is, there are idiots out there who believe everything they see in anime and manga. You know, the people who think Japan is like one big crazy anime convention. Wanna know a secret: It's not. There are also people who associate anyone from a country with that character. If people would grow up and use their brains, there would be less problems.
And on the subject of anime vs manga/webcomic, I have read some of the comic, but the place I read it at shut down, and I dunno where to find the new stuff. ._.
