Thanks to my obsession with Hetalia , I'm currently speaking 2 languages fluently , learning 3 more , majoring in world history and German translation and I'm punching anyone who says Hetalia was shit and wasn't something important , It changed my life man. My all time favorite is Romano and Norway . How do you feel about people shitting on Hetalia and its fandom ?
My Hetalia obsession resulted in my adding an International Studies major to my English major I undergrad. It's also meant that I have developed a genuine love for reading nonfiction historical books (my favorite author is Erik Larson for this reason!) And it's been the main reason I've spent so much time learning about other cultures, learning geography, studying things to get them right in fanfiction, trying to learn French, wacthing foreign media, ect.
I definitely think Hetalia is a great stepping stone to learning about the world, and the personifications make it easier to begin loving cultures and people in a more genuine, informed way as you delve deeper than the silly anime men.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Hetalia fanfictions are the only fanfictions I've ever read that include citations.
I love this fandom, and I love what we've done with the show.
