Line 62:
** Vietnam was hit with this too. In [[World War II]], [[wikipedia:History of Vietnam#20th century|Vietnam the country]] had already started fighting for its independence from France. In Hetalia canon, Vietnam the [[Moe Anthropomorphism]] is mentioned to be a [[Plucky Girl]] who follows the example of the many emotionally/physically strong women in her history. In the fic, said [[Moe Anthropomorphism]] is... [[Bound and Gagged]].
** That's barely the only one. In many, ''many'' Prussia/Hungary works, the sweet and gentle [[Meido]] who managed to ''avert'' this trope in canon is portrayed as a weepy mess who secretly pines for Prussia after being forced to marry Austria via the Austro-Hungarian Compromise and/or is abused in many ways by [[Ron the Death Eater|Austria]] so Prussia must hop in to rescue her and show her what true love is. Yes, Hungary has been shown to be physically more powerful than ''both'' Prussia and Austria, but in these fanfics she wails and wangsts endlessly before even ''trying'' to do something to defend herself. For worse, considering the main couple in these fics, it's mixed with [[Die for Our Ship]] since Austria is portrayed as a [[Jerkass]] or even a [[Complete Monster]] to make Prussia look better.
** The other girls also go through this often in some shipping fanfics, leading to the untrue and unfair assumption [[Het Is Ew|from the most rabid]] [[Yaoi Fangirl]]s [[Straw Feminism|and "feminist fans"]] about all the Hetalia girls being [[Shallow Love Interest]]s ''in canon''. The more frequent victims of this are Belarus (who goes from an hilariously creepy [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] and [[Knife Nut]] who chases after Russia and breaks Liet's fingers, to either Russia or America's blushy and passive, or as much passive-agressive, bride) and Taiwan (who isn't action-geared and ''is'' comfy with her uber girliness, but is still a [[Genki Girl|Genki]] [[Plucky Girl]]... and yet she ends up as a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] caricature who ''only'' wants to be Japan's [[Wife Husbandry|child bride]]).
* In ''[[Digimon]]'' fanfiction, you'll be hard-pressed to find a fic that has Rika/Ruki acting anything like herself, preferring instead to make her a weak, weeping wallflower who can't handle ''any'' aspect of life without being rescued by Takato/Jenrya/Ryo. Even people who don't like [[Yuri]] or [[Interspecies Romance]] wind up preferring stories pairing her with Renamon because they're the fics in which she's more likely to be capable of being in a romance ''and'' acting something like herself at the same time.
* While it's safe to say that the entire casts of both [[Mass Effect]] games experience varying degrees of chickification in fanfiction at some point or another; Garrus Vakarian ([[Wimpification|in a rare male example]] of this trope seen near exclusively in het fic where he's paired with Female Shepard), Commander Shepard (usually Female Shepard, though Male Shepard is not immune either), Tali'Zorah and Liara T'Soni experience the heaviest levels of this trope more often than the others.
