Thank you. It's just not /cm/ without the Hetathread

Bit of a shame Hetalia doesn't take contemporary IR developments into account as much since the dynamics this year could give could be really fun. It's a mixed blessing as Himaruya's just not good with that kind of stuff, but still, it'd be cool to see.
Like, Arthur's become a homeless person because he's completely succumbed to his schizophrenic delusions that he's still a superpower.
Ivan's just constantly vomiting blood, and Belarus just ... lives inside his coat now?
Alfred's gone full bipolar manic episode. And he has measles now, I guess?
He's just confusing and terrifying everyone for no discernible reason, especially Denmark and Mexico and his little brother Matthew. Alfred just walks in the room and starts shitting on him about the drug problem he apparently has. Matthew's like, what the fuck are you talking about, and he's like, look what you did to New Jersey, I'm taking you in, you're gonna be a state now, and he's just fearing for his life. It'd be so cute.
France is weeping in the hallway with his little silk handkerchief, he's crying about not being able to give orders around to Mali and Niger, and about how no one likes him anymore (but when has that ever been different?).
Ukraine could have like that 2010s futuristic undercut going on. She's with the other countries and Ivan walks in, and it's just 10 minutes of hateful silence, and no one's having fun.
China just comes in the room, haggard as fuck, but is still surprised at the shitshow he's seeing, like in that Community meme where Troy comes in with the pizza, but the room is on fire

Generally, the entire cast would be looking and feeling like shit and everyone is antsy and hates everyone else. Sounds like a great time to me

Yeah I’m pretty new to the fandom so I was kind of jokingly exaggerating, but there are just a lot more girls compared to guys. There’s no doubt there are a handful of male fans but I think there were much more in the early days of the fandom. And I’ve also seen some right leaning fans but non of them were male and they’re just not that common, at least not on the platforms I use. Left leaning fans are the majority. Even so i haven’t seen much political discourse among them only shipping discourse lol.

The minority right-wing Hetalist faction may not actually intersect with the majority fujo faction all that much.
The artist that made this de-femboyed Poland redesign that I like, she's a Hungarian nationalist whose closest brush with Big Homosexual was answering a Tumblr ask where she referred to being gay as a "lifestyle." Doesn't even draw most of the other Hetaloids besides the Visegrad states. Otherwise, she's very much average straight girl Tumblr millennial. Highly uncommon type shit, but she is Hungarian after all.
Double the strange: she's also into Transformers, another huge fujo magnet fandom, and yet, no gaiety there

The Poland in my personal canon looks like hers, yeah. Though I wonder if it'd piss her off if I headcanonned Russia forcefemming him while under occupation. Much to think about.

I feel like most non-Western Hetalists would be classed as right-wing by the online left types (different Overton window) because they tend to be tolerant of some pretty rancid politics so long as they get their slop yaoi dynamics. So much of shipping colonizers with their colonizeds. Like, dating, not even rape. Inherently disrespectful, and they seemed surprised!

Stunning. I'm stunned. Thank you, anon.

I've found that the intended tone of Hetalia seems inherently inimical to nationalism since, if you wanna do it effectively, no one country can be treated as a Mary Sue the way nationalist rhetoric tends to require. Other kinds of right-wingery might fit though

You mean among Hetalia fans?
I've found that 2020s Hetalists trend chill overall.
I feel like rabid Charlottesville rightoids who can't keep the politics in their pants wouldn't be attracted to Hetalia in the first place because it's so gay and girl-coded in the writing (Himaruya is a real miracle). I think it'd actually be weird if they weren't chill.
I think Hetalia being so problematic also kinda keeps away some of the more intolerantly puritan hordes of leftie Twitter antis, which is nice, though some "proshippers DNI" folks do slip through. I should know, I follow some.
Being into Hetalia inherently means having some degree of shitlib "art for art's sake" thinking in your noggin, which is also nice, those types tend to make the best fanart for every fandom, and the oodles of great art is a good goddamn reason to stay in this fandom

I feel like the people who came up with that theory don't quite get that you don't have to explicitly identify as nationalist to do what literally everyone does and imbibe the normative values of your particular society, and nationalism is a big presence in modern Japan. Like, regardless of whether or not Himaruya is a nationalist, he definitely took on sentiments common in Japan, like the anti-Korean narrative and (honestly kinda accurate) assumption that everyone either loves or admires Japan
>>3971413
I mean, nationalism is a specific thing with a certain history and is really not the same thing as the more general patriotism.
Nationalism is a specific ideology born around the 18th and 19th centuries that centers the society around a particular conception of the nation as a culturally distinct community, unified by a shared history and destiny.
Thing is, that "shared history" tends to be conceived along the lines of language and ethnicity to the exclusion of others, so you should be able to easily see where that starts to get dicey for a lot of people. If you want some illustrations, think back to your school lessons about the history and ideology surrounding the mass deportations conducted during the break-up of the Ottoman Empire, or the expulsion of Indians from Uganda.
Or that obscure historical period when the modern Japanese state went under a different flag

Never heard of Hetalian anti-fujoshi, that feels inherently contradictory. As I mentioned in >>3970468, there's at least one that took pains to avoid all mention of gay in their Hetacontent, but never heard of the young "fujos are so problematic" types being into Hetalia.

Though I can vouch for the massive influx of anti-shota "proship DNI" zoomer types, but that might be more reflective of the wider, more general change among young people in fandom now.
However, the steep decline of public morality in the 2nd Trump era might change that with Gen Alpha, but we'll see how strongly the Gen Y/Z anti-age gap consensus will hold.

Center-right is still right-wing tho, and not just in the sense that adding "center" doesn't make you not right or left. Like, your camp is closer to right-hardliners than the center-left is to left-hardliners.
Though this might be highly American, as over there, non-right camps trend big tent, while the right trends towards homogeneity where there should be none. An illustration: libertarians are constantly in agreement with the Bush religious crowd on policy and vice-versa in ways that betray their supposed values; meanwhile, the DNC had gone apopleptic in its smear campaign against Mamdani while the DSA and various online commies tried to cancel Warren for being too capitalist.
So yeah, you're a righty.

There's 2 of them. Not in a 2 Italies kinda regional way, but also not in the way of that 2P AU thing.

You get it, anon. There's something so wonderful about the classic original Hetalia style that's entirely missing in most of the art from Himaruya's fellow fudanshi and most yaoi art in general.
It's soft and simple, but expressive; detailed without feeling cluttered. Horny, but never grotesque or at all Liefeldian. I don't do much BL stuff, but in terms of effect, it most reminds me of stuff like Syundei or Kaneoya Sachiko

Modern Russia is as far from communism as you can get, though, and the USSR always had a kinda questionable relationship with it once Stalin was pulling the reins.
Like, he had a weirdly sometimes nationalist policy which was always at odds with ML's internationalist goals. The hurdle of nationalism was something communist states were never able to get around. The USSR never got over it, and despite its 56 nations rhetoric, the CCP has already been swallowed by a chauvinist assimilating Han nationalism (which imo would be accelerated if the country were ever to turn to democracy).

Regarding Braginsky himself, he's a weird Russian. He's always smiling, for one, and way too friendly in a Japanese way, it's weird.
Himaruya got his imperialist Russian Mir worldview right, at least. He's big and handsome, at least. My headcanon is that he's skin and bones under that coat.

I mean, it's Hetalia, this fandom attracts people who want to see dudes get objectified sexual style. Femdom is kinda the convenient logical progression of these incentives for girls who aren't into traditional romance stuff and just wanna see boys be sexy but also wanna acknowledge that girls exist.
It's always funny seeing yaoi-brained artists be like, oh yeah, this girl exists, let me make you super awesome and powerful to make up some feminism points for forgetting that you exist most of the time

>>3973482
Occasionally.

The usual femdom thing of strong, physically-intimidating women dominating guys, that's more ... aspirational for me, not really sexual. Very much a "get it, girl" kinda thing that's at most satisfying for smug whiny guys. Like, say, England.
What really appeals to me is smaller delicate girls psychologically destroying beautiful ikemen. I think Azula taunting Sokka about Suki in that Day of the Black Sun episode did things to my child brain.
And if we're talking fanon, it really depends on the characters. The dick usually goes soft for OOC, so if it's a soft girl character doing the dominating, then you really need to make it make sense

Given the nature of being countries who are humans, the tendency is that whether or not any ship in Hetalia is incest kinda depends on a combo of what canon tells you and the personal headcanon you fill in with your imagination.

I'd like to agree, but they're so often portrayed as having a parental relationship that it's hard for me to see them as not having kinda incesty, at least groomery vibes. Though you're right, it doesn't at all carry into adulthood, which is interesting and really reduces the incest vibes.

Not true, the fact of something being incest has a big influence on the vibe and dynamics of the ship, often for the worse (Pinecest would be extremely shippable but them being siblings is not working for me in that I refuse to see Mabel liking her brother (not the reverse, oddly enough)).

But when it's for the better? Oh, baby.
Caname is an awesome ship where the sibling-esque relationship actually works in the ship's favor. It gives it a weird Flowers in the Attic yandere obsessive flavor between soft and sensitive attention-starved Matthew and affectionate oblivious golden boy favorite-child sociopathic demigod Freddie, I think I really love it

I dunno, there's as much of a chance that Himaruya is actually a flaming rightoid as much as he's just incidentally disrespectful to the Korean people. He's Japanese, it's a thing.
As for the fact that Hetalia is founded on moefying Nazi Germany seems to stem from the Japanese not taking the Western front of the war all that seriously.

For me USUK is still a little weird when I see so many strips about England incapability of raising children properly.
I especially find a lot of Japanese USUK artist, that instead of simply shipping them as adults also do art with them in a parental situation(like chibi!America and chibi!Canada giving him flowers for Mother's day).
But I can understand why it's so popular, I simply like rivalry ships better and two of the best ships in this sense are Rusame and Fruk. Would probably like Rusprus if not for the fact that I don’t really like Prussia.

I've always found his design pretty plain, so I only like him as a pirate.
I find Spamano less groomy since the Italy brothers situation is different from America and Canada.
It's technically pedo, but the Italy brothers both stayed as kids for a really long time. France and Spain were kids when they met the Italy brothers and the Italies were stuck in a children's body longer. Also half of the cast is gay for the Italies.
While France and England met America and Canada as basically adults, that's also the reason why America and Canada are seenbas brats by every other country, while the Italies are not.

do they really? from what i have seen it does not really look like hatred just joking about his shotacon personality. hes a funny character but his design is rather boring and doesn't appeal to me much. spamano is cute and spuk is pretty neat its just design thats pretty lackluster.

>>3974049
honestly not sure if its a hot take since it is pretty easy to see which style is more appealing. Bakudeku only had such a huge impact due to the dynamic between the two but hima himself was a fudan very much appealing to other fujodans. im also hispanic too

Hope this isnt weird to ask, but if youre not American and like Alfred, what is it about his character that you enjoy? Just curious because my I notice fellow 'Murricans like to interpret him in very specific ways.

Lmao are you serious? He would absolutely hate Trump.
>project 2025 trying to implement Unitary Executive Theory, which would make the US way more authoritarian. Alfred is all about freedom and democracy.
>trump trying to deport birth-right citizens
>being forced to work for a felon

I'll give you that America wouldnt be a liberal. He would have no political party or ideological preference. None of the Nation-tans do. The comic outright states they're victims of circumstance.

I'll embellish because I wanna get my thoughts out.

I see a lot of Americans project their insecurities onto him, and I dont think its too outta the realm of possibility. We are the primary superpower and yet we're practically a 3rd world country. We're behind on education, science and tech compared to Canada and the EU. Our medical field is tanking. We used to be at the top in everything. That has gotta be a huge ego blow to his superiority complex. I think even Hima knows given how toned-down America is in modern strips.

I mean they'd probably assume that you're gay at most if they don't read too much into it unless the people you care about hate gays but specifically hetalia yaoi, some of my friends think shipping countries is weird, they don't know that I'm into it and I hope they don't find out either.

That's dumb, of course they would. A bunch of them hate each other, and countries hating each other is always ideological, no matter how simple

It's not seeking validation, it's projecting their values onto what they view. Which is .. extremely normal, literally everyone does that.

And why would he be a leftie to hate Trump? There's been a small and steady stream of Republicans in exodus because of Trump, there's a bunch of conservative military guys who hate him because of the Hegseth appointment.

America would be liberal because America is liberal. America was born as a project of liberalism, a state whose purpose is to ensure individual liberty from the state.
Until Trump 2's authoritarian switch, there has been no thoroughly non-liberal presence in US politics. The closest is Sanders, and I think most grody hardliner leftists consider him a liberal

Alfred would hate and love Trump in wildly varying measures because the mathematical average of American voter preferences would condense into an incoherent lunatic.
Really, something Hetalia's America is missing is being psychotically, dangerously bipolar in a way very few other countries are

I dont think Nation-tans reflect everything their people believe. There's no way I could see him supporting a figure that wants to completely unravel freedom.

What is "political porn" here? Hetalia tries to be apolitical more often than not. I mean, you can't really be apolitical, especially about something like this, but how is this porn in particular political enough to be colloquially "political"?
Also, getting triggered by softcore porn of your country is pretty normie stuff, anon, what are you on

There's an interesting discussion there as to exactly what kind of stuff Alfred is built of.

My theory is that the Nation-tans' minds, like everyone else's, are a combination of nature and nurture, with the aspects born of nature (everything physical, including the brain) baked in at the moment of their creation, never changing, and the aspects born of nurture changing constantly to reflect the mercurial nature of their nations' cultures

So, if Alfred really is all about that classical, foundational Americanism, yea, he'd hate Trump. But America is the freedom land built by slaves, a land of vast contradictions, and Trump is a very American animal.

So overall, I don't think he'd like Trump, but would he have hated him ven before all the gulag shit? I'm honestly not sure

American lawmakers are cold minded, analytical psychopaths. People's political opinions don't matter, what does is that most Americans believe USA is the protagonist of the world

But anon, wouldn't that be irrelevant as regards the nation-tans?
America would be based on America, right?
If you wanna constrict it to tangible representation in the state, I mean, go ahead, but it'd be a pretty out there headcanon

And American lawmakers are really not, actually, that's giving them too much credit. The idea of the lawmaker as untainted by ideology beyond self-interest is a kind of teenage overstated reductive deduction, seductively true but deeply incomplete
