* Turkey has a case similar to France's (listed just below); he isn't demonized nearly as often by Greece/Japan shippers as you might expect as most of them view him as [[Hopeless Suitor|posing no real threat to their ship]], but if they feel the need to have someone stir up some external drama for Greece and Japan, he's the one they're most likely to use. It doesn't help that [[Ron the Death Eater|exaggeration]] of Turkey's [[Boisterous Bruiser]] traits to [[Jerkass]], [[Manipulative Bastard]] or [[Smug Snake]] levels is a not-uncommon sight even in non-shipping and Turkey-pairing fanworks, which can cause some fans to forget that Turkey is canonly friends with Japan and leans more toward being a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] than an irredeemable [[Jerkass]]. |

* As for Greece, he's mostly free of this trope. Mostly. There are still some fans who are ''not'' pleased about him being paired up with Japan so often (and are not feeling charitable enough to simply make him [[Just Friends]] with Japan) and hence try to make him out to be a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Jerk In Nice Guy's Clothing]] who lies about what "really" happened on that night with Japan or a pathetic [[Crazy Jealous Guy]] who exists solely to bitch about how Japan's not with him and thus come off as worse than the nation the author wants Japan to be with instead. A few of these fans even claim that Greece hangs out with Japan only because he wants to get into Japan's pants, even though a read-through of all his strips with Japan will show that this is almost certainly ''not'' the case. It's pretty mild compared to many other characters' cases on this list, but it still really stands out in Greece's case, considering his sleepy [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]] personality in canon. |

* France is mostly free of this in America/England fics, in spite of having a [[Anything That Moves|person]][[Lovable Sex Maniac|ality]] that could very easily fall victim to [[Character Exaggeration]] of the [[Rape Tropes|worst possible kind]], with almost all America/England fans simply [[Ship Mates|pairing him up with someone else]] (usually with [[Meganekko|Canada]]), making him a [[Shipper on Deck]] for America and England, or going the [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] route if he's depicted as [[ |

However, he's still the character most likely to be used as an obstacle against their relationship; as such, there are some who make either character a [[Knight in Shining Armor]] who foils France's [[Attempted Rape]] of the [[James Bondage]]. |

** A more subtle yet venomous and insidious way to make France look bad in USUK fics (principally [[Doujinshi]]) is to take the French Crown's historical role in [[The American Revolution]] and flanderize it by characterising France as a borderline [[Evil Mentor]] to America who sleeps around in the war camps and seems to have fun by pitting a young and easy to manipulate America against his eternal enemy England under the excuse of "giving America the chance to develop into his own country", but actually just wants to make England suffer and get revenge against him. Way to twist [[historical canon]] to fit your ship preferences, people. |

*** To be fair, one of the main reasons that the French Crown got involved with the American Revolution '''was''' to get revenge on England for the Seven Years War. In canon, France is pretty self-centered and likes to cash in on other people's victories, so him being a "borderline [[Evil Mentor]]" isn't that out of character. It can definitely be pushed too far(and often is) but the premise is relatively reasonable. |
